Heroes of Newerth and Ventrilo?
So my curiosity has gotten the best of me. My friends and I use Ventrilo all the time for Heroes of Newerth, but anyone else I run across and ask does not. I have put together this little poll to find out some responses. Please take the time to fill it out, no registration is required.
Personally, I have been using Ventrilo in every game I have played. I really could not think of gaming, raiding or competing with out Ventrilo. PLUG INCOMING! I am going to give Typefrag.com a shout out as they have amazing Ventrilo Servers.

I have used ventrilo and teamspeak a while ago, but MUMBLE is just way better than everything else. Just go on any mumble server and compare voice quality and latency. When i did this i was so suprised that i switched to mumble, so my friends too. Ventrilo is not good choice if you take into account voice quality and latency, which are quite important in games.

Mumble is better than both teamspeak and ventrilo, check it out... much less delay and much clearer transmition!

AGREE KOSSAK! I have used them both as well but

Aye, where is the mumble option?

Definitively mumble.

Skype is all i need

Mumble.
Skype sucks as it lacks the push-to-talk option, and it's not open source = the future of the application is in the hands of someone that wants to make money out of it - same as with Ventrilo.

Mumble. Vent and TS are over...

Skype.
@Kvist, how can it be a bad thing that you don't have to press a button before you can speak? That push-to-talk is just annoying and limiting. And if your mom comes in to your room you can always just mute the mic you know..

uhm.. maybe this sounds stupid but i use skype :P
and otherwise mumble :D
u have to buy those other programs, dont u?

Skype works fine, no delay noticed, and the voice comes clear like crystal, my second option is Xfire, that works great too. Well, like the others, none option is pickable by me. =P
This poll options are very limited, you guys just assumed that the only 2 vo-ip programs usable are TS and Vent. lol.

mumble > TS > vent
Skype is good and getting better but for now, mumble is king.

Typefrag has been giving me a lot of issues lately and their only excuse is that they're getting DdoS'd.
Works great the rest of the time. Small, simple and streamlined. Team speak is weak as hell.

When you say "ventrilo is better!" what do you mean? How is it better than teamspeak?! Why would you use another client, when you already have one implemented? Is it because you hear your mates better? Is it because it gives you more options?!? Teamspeak is completely enough imho.

i use xfire much easier and recirds how many hours u been playing game for

I use Skype, so I can't vote...

why have something open besides the game that takes up resource when the in-game chat is clear, no delay and works perfectly anywayz? people using an appy for the sake of saying that they use the application apparently. weird sheep mentality. I use vent when I have to cuz it's great but why otherwise? seems retarded. Period.
