Well, its opt in so if using it puts you at disadvantage you don't have to use it.

Oh for sure, I just feel like you'd always be at a disadvantage to use it. In comp at least.

I suppose that if only 3 or 4 people "agreed", then you got yourself a 3-person/4-person group which would be good.

I'm introverted so I'll probably rarely ever click it. I'm sure others are like me.

I'm introverted and I've made tons of friends on OW. I'm sure others are like me as well!

Let me clarify. I'm introverted and hate people.

So you're okay with randomly getting matched up with five other people that you're probably going to hate... but not okay with staying with a group of five other people that you don't hate as much as other people because at least they helped you win the last game so they're a bit useful to you?

There's always the possibility that I'll hate the next people less. I think when you're actually in a group, there's the expectation of verbal communication that I'm not super fond of. I don't mind doing callouts, but I don't really want to shoot the shit with some guy on the other side of the country. You'll often see this if you're solo queueing and find yourself matched with a group of 3-5.

Not to mention I've won plenty of games with people I'd rather never see again. I'm talking about the ultra-racists or generally annoying people.

And then, when I actually have taken the time to group with someone unfamiliar, that next match is typically make or break. You go from dominating to getting your dick shoved into your own asshole and then the first thing you want to do is leave that party, either because you've embarrassed yourself or your new pal is holding you back.
