How tone misinterpretation happens

Voice chat leaves out facial expressions and body language, so players often guess what another person meant.

During a tense match, the brain becomes more alert to possible threats. A short comment such as "Nice play" can sound supportive, sarcastic, or insulting depending on the listener's mood.

Here is how tone misinterpretation happens:

1. Voice chat leaves out facial expressions & body cues.

2. Threat-state brain guesses negative intent in tone.

3. Supportive comments sound sarcastic under stress.

Before assuming bad intent in team comms, hit pause and ask yourself one question:

What evidence do I have that they meant it negatively?
