>>> I turned off voice chat a while ago though,

Please please please please don't be That Guy. I encourage muting individuals who are annoying. But I use mic exclusively and how are we supposed to cooperate?

Because so many people are unhelpful. It's not that they are being rude or anything, but they whine and complain after the fact... That does nothing at all to help the current situation. If that person had given instructions, or given intelligence that could be acted upon in advance, then criticism would be accepted, but so many people are saying 'why didnt you x' or 'you should have y' or 'why did you buy that piece of junk it wont work'. It's not rude, but it's not helpful either. And most people are not like you. If you are a person who uses the mic and helps the team then yes, I will turn on voice chat if you ask nicely in the text chat.
