How does the game sound impact your gameplay?

So I had this discussion awhile ago with my alliance members and randomly just thought of it, but do you play better with the game sounds/music on or off? I haven't had the sounds on in maybe a year and have no issue, but some of my alliance says it helps them time their attacks and parries. What about you all?

    Sounds ON
    Music OFF.

    Sounds for Hits, Parry, Stun, etc useful indicators to help you know if things have registered or not.

    There are certain audio cues which help you get the timing down on evading some specials. Other than that I don't see that much of a difference.

    I have to play with the audio as it makes me keep my focus as I know when specials are coming and what a block and parry sounds like so I know if I got the timing right

    I feel like having the sound effects of attacks and specials helps my battles, as I can relate them to the correct timing to parry/dexterity, even when I’m not fully paying attention to it.

    Especially for some fights there are audio tells for evade timing and such. Yondu's whistle, helps for parrying him, etc. Having said that I almost always have the sounds off. I never have the music on.

    I've played with no sound for long that it's hard to say. If I turn sound on though it doesn't really make a difference. Turned it on recently for the first time in over a year at least.

    Most of the time I don’t play with sound, but when I do, I am able to focus and evade specials better

    I never have sound on. I also heard Howard the ducks audio sounds awful.

    There are definitely audio cues for dodging certain specials, etc. It is a double edged sword though as some specials don't actually line up with what you'd think is the audio cue. Like Korg's sp1 for instance.

    Honestly the sound effects are terrible, sounds like someone launching an old fashioned till register down a bowling ally while a 9080’s kunkfu move is playing on large screen in the background. I never have it on.

    And Gwenpool's block as well. Awful sound.
