zuimaomao413 Oh yeah, that was more a reply to Allistervf's comment on people not knowing how to parry the puck far away, I was adding that people also don't know that they should stay back with the shield. There's nothing devs can do about that aspect though, there are going to be noobs and people who don't understand right away in every game.
I'm usually in a party with several friends, only one of whom plays Party Animals regularly with me so I'm usually in party chat. If I actually hear people on my team talking I'll switch to game chat for that game but it's pretty rare unfortunately. But that's also not the game's fault and that's all part of the chaos of random matchmaking.
