jamalComangliaDoughy1. Is one yelling in comms when tilted better or worse than one who gets completely mute?
Yelling in Comms because you're tilted is far worse than going mute.

What yelling comms does.
  • Denies your teammates the ability to communicate with each other.
  • Makes it so your teammates can't hear ingame audio.
  • Makes it so you're unlikely to hear/process what your teammates are saying.
  • Makes it unlikely for you to hear/process in game audio ques.
  • You're directly conveying your anger to your teammates even if not directed specifically at them. This can cause a worse scenario where more members of the team Tilt.

What going mute in comms does.
  • Annoy your teammates that you're not saying anything.

Both are bad but 1 is definitely worse than the other. The only time yelling in comms is ok is if it's to bring immediate attention to something specific to accomplish a goal. Ex. 1. WE POPPED UBER WE'RE ENDING HERE. 2. THEY'RE ALL LOOKING AT ME PUSH NOW! 3. SPY ON OUR MEDIC!!!

If you can get a decent hold on your tilt relatively quickly yelling for ~30s of match is far better than being mute for 5+ minutes.
theres a huge difference between venting for 10 seconds vs tilting for the rest of a map and projecting your anger on your teammates. Im perfectly fine with option 1 over my teammate going mute for the rest of the game.

It's also perfectly fine to go mute for 30s rather than rage for 2 minutes. But now we're both just being overly pedantic.

funhaver1998i kno there's a scrim where habib switches to soldier and does it the entire game and screams his mind off on youtube but thats because drugs has warped his brain to below his age

Just noticed this.

Have to say that ADHD (especially the hyperactive type) and the medications for it also play a large factor in something like this.

some symptoms

nimh.nih.govSigns of hyperactivity and impulsivity may include:
  • Being unable to play or engage in hobbies quietly
  • Being constantly in motion or “on the go,” or acting as if “driven by a motor”
  • Talking nonstop
  • Blurting out an answer before a question has been completed, finishing other people’s sentences, or speaking without waiting for a turn in conversation
  • Interrupting or intruding on others, for example in conversations, games, or activities

I removed a fair number of them that aren't related to the topic at hand at all.

Also doesn't help when some of the medications for ADHD tend to have side affects that can increase agitation.

Not saying people with ADHD Hyperactive type can't handle tilt/anger/stress, it's just more difficult for them than most. Just take look at how bad Ninja can get...

1) Have you considered that instead of acting like a five year old you could just not?
