No really I'm serious, I've notice a pretty direct coorelation between dead silence in the Ready screen (or Hello's meant with stony silence) and losing matches often badly. It's not 1 to 1 but it's a weird effect that I'm sure i'm not the only one to experience.
A Friendly round of greetings seem to break the ice in bit SP and GP queues. The is more useful in SP because teh GP are all made up of people almost certainly on their own comms (and less likely to respond) but it can still help gel the team. Once you've greeted each other and acknowledged everyone else on tyour team as a human being teamwork tends to follow a little easier.
I have rarely ever been in a match where trolling the comms or harrassing teammates for being 'potatoes" has resulted in overwhelming victory but I have seen communication follow from the simple start of saying 'HI' carry matches to both narrow wins in unlikely comebacks resulting from coordination you don't normally see in SP to straight ROFL Stomps from a team that cts like an impromptu 12 man.
I'm curious if other notice this, but the gist I've taken from experience is that it's easier to treat teammates like humans and work together if you establish a friendly baseline early in the match. Any one else seen this in action?
