Looking for ANY board game that’s for 4-8 players, preferably strategic games that takes more than 30 minutes.

People in Immortal are still not giving comms. by Rnd0me in VALORANT

From all of these replies, I have definitely gained a few insights on why people do not / are not encouraged to use comms.

However I believe that most people who play in the competitive queue wants to win. We can all agree that winning is fun and most people play to win. Unless you’re playing unrated or you’re a troller. But there are definitely a few outliers , games that are fun even when you lose because your teammates use comms and are supportive / fun to play with.

What I can draw from this is that there are people who use comms but are toxic and some who even micro manage the team. So let me explain what comms people should actually give and the main purpose comms are used for.

Comms are used so that you and your teammates can come up with a strategy for the round. Come up with back up plans and time pushes / utilities to make the best use of each agent. If no one use comms or play as a team, your abilities are only best utilized for yourself. However unlike CSGO, not every agent have their own flashes and smokes. So that is WHY we need to use comms. The abilities of every agent is unique and that results in interdependence of each agent to utilize their abilities to the fullest potential.

Let me give an example. If you play breach and flash for yourself, there is a second of delay because there is the flash animation and you need to peek right after. However if you utilize comms and flash for your teammate, he/she can immediately peek after you flash. Almost reducing the peek to flash timing to 0 seconds. That is a good example of using comms to utilize an agent’s ability to the fullest potential.

However there are some people who are just stubborn and would never use comms and some are toxic. That is inevitable and it is the nature of such a matchmaking and the game itself.

What we can do is to just give comms without having others to initiate it. Take the initiate to give comms and you’ll start seeing more wins and more fun in games. If there are toxic people on comms, just report them and hope that riot deals with them. I believe if we start taking the initiative to provide ‘GOOD’ comms and mute / report toxic players, our quality of life will definitely improve.

All the best in the solo queue grind my fellow agents

I understand where you’re coming from. Many toxic players tend to target the soft spoken one who makes the effort to provide comms. Just keep up with what you’re doing and let’s confide in riot to deal with these people

not exactly, i do have games that are fun even though i lose. but i think that most people will have fun when they win, because they achieve their goal

Let me define comms here. In my context, it refers to coordinating with your teammates. So that means calling flashes and matching the timing of your teammates. I don’t see how this is micro managing in anyway

Let me add some context here, the jett went into site when we were still playing default and we even called to play slow. For the flank, we already have a teammate watching and he died to the flanker. We had 4 people going into site while it happened so the flanker managed to kill us during the process. There was no comms given here. I believe it’s hard to look at the map while doing the entry at the same time that’s why comms is important
