If you don't have headphones and a quiet environment, forget about it. You need to be able to hear and your teammates need to be able to hear.

...you saying my two boys in the background constantly yelling, whooping and making siren noises are a distraction?

Maybe? I suck so bad that if anything gets the drop on me, I am dead. YMMV.

I was thinking about Bones. We had to switch to Discord chat because it has noise cancellation. Otherwise, his PC, which sounds like an industrial HVAC system in Florida in August, was distracting. He blames the Xbox for not having noise cancellation. We couldn't use prox chat and it is consoles' fault. PC master race logic.

I could never be a streamer. They seem able to chat with viewers and eat potato chips, all while winning 1 v 3 matches without breaking a sweat.
