I know you're mostly just trying to be witty and that, yes, you are generally accurate that most strategy calls aren't good ones. But telling people that they just plain shouldn't use comms isn't very helpful. Even you have to admit that useful and effective communication makes life dramatically easier in approaching a situation. I think it would be better to encourage that rather than just discourage all attempts at vocalization.
Witty? No.
To the point? Always.
Talk and chat on comms all you want. I'm not saying don't use them.
I'm saying don't use them to call/direct a match when you are
objectively bad at the game, have no tactical awareness etc etc. You're better off saying nothing and not sending your team to their death. No plan is better than one that is going to get you all killed. At least carry players can attempt to carry. You cannot carry if you're stuck in a bad play because of poor calls. And then what is even worse is players then call similarly poor movements in other games and think it is all good and well.
Now if you actually have an idea - comms / drop call your heart out.
I used to do it and I stopped. I stopped because of the amount of low skill players that would
constantly argue with me, tell me my plan was wrong/bad or otherwise was ridiculous. I went 50-3 or something calling the drops, barely lost. Good comms are almost overpowered for QP. Bad comms mean certain loss in most experiences I've had in my 1,000s of games.
The best part is I would look these players up and they are
ALWAYS sub 1.0 WLR - just like Burning. Yet I am rocking along with a 2.0+ WLR without much effort. Who's right and wrong? Certainly not the guy that wins more than he loses. There must be a level of mental disconnect if you continually doing something, keep failing at it, but think you're not the factor.
