That’s taking the content “serious”. That kinda intensity doesn’t translate to frontline. Making call-outs, setting way markers, or naming targets aren’t a bad thing. You’re trying to direct the masses to secure a W. Taking to “serious” is when you start verbally bashing people in the chat for not following directions. Same goes for casual CC. Nothing more annoying then catching a beating while someone is spamming “hello”, “thanks”, or “nice job”.
I think most people would define "serious" as being sufficiently prepared before going in. In terms of Frontlines, it would be understanding the map objectives, the ebb and flow of combat, knowing your job and trying your best to win, verbally bashing people isn't "being serious", that's "being unpleasant".

While I agree that you can't expect everyone to be serious enough to sufficiently prepare for a mode where you can just queue up for in a roulette, let's not normalise verbal attacks on others as "just being serious".
