In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that’s the case, those activaties aren’t for you and you shouldn’t bring down your entire team because of that.
As an clarification, I’m more worried about Raids than PVP
I’ve played games competitively over a broad range of genres. I understand voice chat can be a boon, however it just as frequently is a distraction - especially with a pug.
It’s generally a wash. I’ve seen OPs opinion expressed in many forms directed at voice chat, certain loadouts, need for mods, etc. It’s misdirected blame.
Suggesting that the problem is following him game to game simply highlights that he himself is the common factor. Self improvement will always provide better results.
Destiny raids aren’t competitive PvP - it’s cooperative puzzle solving. The puzzles are designed to require communication and cooperation between a team of 6 people. Usually this works by having one player get the information that another player needs in some form.
It also helps if everyone is using meta loadouts or whatever, but that’s not the reason why voice chat is necessary.
