Is it me or hacks have been deployed? Now and then I see aimbotters. YES maybe... MAYBE they have good aim but 10/10 aim? I don't think so
Played a couple matches recently. Got killed a couple times in a row from someone having a split second visibility to me at a reasonable distant from a revolver in one shot. Unless they've added widow maker qualities to the handgun, seemed odd to me dieing 4 times to 4 shots..
Is a headset required in this game ? I hear that it is pretty much team focused. Any cheap headset would work I imagine. I never was a big PC multiplayer person.
I'll probably pick up some turtle Beach z11's from Amazon before I get this game. I hope it will still be fun to play by that time. I'll talk by brother into also getting it. I also have some coworkers that play it and they had asked if I checked it out yet.They've just banned 7500 more people today.
You technically don't need one, but I'd recommend having one. It's very helpful to your team to be able to report things like static defenses (Torbjorn turrets, snipers, etc.) or dictate team direction.

tried to get people to speak up or listen to me but all i got was dead silence.
Also, I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish that they would make joining the team voice chat the default option when playing a competitive game.
Played a kings landing match and we did fairly well on attack. time for us to defend, and two guys grouped together decide to go tracer and genji. I asked that maybe they should reconsider their selection, and instead i got called the N word by one of them. obviously we lost, but it was a complete waste of time at that point.I thought we were past this but I guess not. Hanzo and Widowmaker on attack. This is what frustrates me most about the game. It's not me getting killed or just having a bad day. It's knowing that our team is basically screwed already before we even start and can't do anything at all about it other than just drop or waste my time losing.
I never wanted to rage in this game more than I did after playing last night. De-leveled from a 48 down to a 46. After playing 2 games back to back with people leaving for various reasons ("my dad is telling me to go to bed!", to "brb", and then never coming back) i played another 2 games of not one person typing anything in the team chat, not even a hello, let alone using the team voice chat. 2 of the games had groups of 3-4 people, and solo queuer's like me. each time i carried with 3 gold medals. tried to get people to speak up or listen to me but all i got was dead silence.
Also, I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish that they would make joining the team voice chat the default option when playing a competitive game. When you join a competetive game when queued up with someone you are in your own personal group chat until you press P and then change to the team. I think this is a very bad default option as it discourages team chat in some people. Some even get pissy at me for asking them to switch to the team chat, wtf! F$*@&@&$# kids!
I never got to the point of playing dota at a competetive or high level. any time i tried playing any character i wasn't good at i'd get bitched out for sucking.
Be grateful you never played dota.
Good to know I plan on trying it this weekend. Sounds like the heros have a lot of abilities so I just need one I can feel comfortable with. I'll eventually get a mic though since coworkers may want to play and I'll probably see people from this thread too.You won't need a mic right away anyways. Get comfortable with the different heroes and maps, figure out what it is you like to play, etc. Do all of that in Quick Play. You won't need a mic for that. I never join group chat when in QP. Once you get a feel for it you can start getting in some competitive games (if you want, don't need to if you don't want to). That's when a mic will come into play.
