While VOIP is a great addition to the game. Don't be a f'ing distracting dbag near the end of a match when you're dead, and the last guy is trying to concentrate.

true, had to mute two in a match, I'm venting about that here...still takes time when you're trying to position and pick people off...Muted two with about six minutes left,15 seconds total for both, not to mention the lost concentration...cost the match which ended with two seconds left.

Pretty much. There is a message though, being a distracting douchebag costs lives...THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

Had one on weekend held the button down winged n wined first half match about wanting to go to bed but needing more points ( brief silence mid match ) then he started again.

That voip key needs a time limit of 7 seconds, if you can't say it in 7 seconds then its too much information.

I know what the OP is talking about, I've had the same thing happening, last man standing 2 crippled mechs vs my crippled mech, two douchebags arguing with each other in my ear, but of course I should be able to take a moment out of my epic last stand to mute them.

How easily distracted are you? Tune them out, it's a handy skill to have in life.

No true, except I also had my unit in my ear too. Some newer guys who made some wtf tactial moves had me pissed the f' off. Truth is the match was lost b4 that even, was a miracle it was as close as it was. That little bit of this two man bitching was enough to turn the tide. STFU dead scrubs, I can aim just fine.

I love it when someone loses their **** over voice comms, especially when they expected to get carried and it didn't work out for them.

The longer you are married the easier this is to do.

If you cant be bothered to mute two players, taking off your headset is a much quicker solution. Just dont tell me you cant play without sound.

[Insects]

Solution suggestion:
Allow a "mute current talker" button to be mapped.
Instant mute without distraction in the heat of battle where stopping for even a second is death.

Yes its easy to ignore. But its also easy to just give people a simple solution to their problem.

[PhoenixFire55]

In me experience ...

People who use voice chat are doing that with good intentions, but ...
Most of the time, they have absolutely zero idea of what a team should actually do.
Plus, they have absolutely zero idea of comms discipline.
Plus, the sound quality is horrendous. And I mean 1965 horrendous.

Personally I haven't met anyone who would spam voice chat late in the game just because he wants to. One of the very few advantages of higher Elo tier I guess ...

[MeiSooHaityu]

Simple answer...

Mute or take off the headset.

Sure, if you hate it THAT much. That's drastic though.
