Don't need a mic to play Overwatch, depending on how far you intend to get. Having a mic is just one part of your success which is explained by many independent variables (class knowledge, map knowledge, reflexes, aiming, awareness, ...). It will be a long time (very likely longer than you'll play the game anyway) before you can say "There is nothing more I can do. I am at the bottleneck of my performance, and the only possible way I can improve is by getting a mic so I can speak instead of just listening to callouts and using the callout buttons in game." You probably won't even reach a point where that is the most impactful change you can make. In fact, if you're a jerk, then not having a mic might be improving your success due to being less toxic and not demoralizing the team ;)
