BTW, any comment from scrappy about this kind of behaviour?
Haha!
Honestly, yes, sure. First of all, I find my teammate offering any kind of help, advice, direction - whether he is still in the game or not, to never be a bad thing. I always welcome it.
When it is in chat and not over vent though, personally it is difficult to soak it up in a timely enough fashion. I appreciate the effort, but its usually a bit too late between the time it takes him to type, and the time it takes me to read it. I wouldn't go so far as to say I don't want it, but its often not as helpful as it would be if I could just hear it. Simple fact of life, verbal communication is more efficient under urgent situations than written.
Secondly, there are different flavors of armchair general - the laid back, helpful kind and the intense "I just smoked crack" kind. The former is more fun, the latter more beneficial towards winning the game - at the price of raising my blood pressure, or making me feel like fail, or just generally making it feel like a more pressured situation. That said, the intense type, over vent, usually brings out my best game - even if I am made to be aware of every little mistake I make, or opportunity missed seconds after they happen.
In the end though, more communication is always a good thing, and demonstrates to me how poor my own communication can be sometimes, as well as heightening my situational awareness when someone really kicks up the pace for me.
Thoroughly welcome it.
