When you are used to wearing just the helmet, adding in a visor messes with you. It affects your vision, your breathing, your balance, it's actually a lot more intrusive than you would think.
But you also get used to it in a few weeks.
I finally went back to using a full cage about 2 months ago. I get constant #### from other players, but they can all go eat it, because it's not them who will have to deal with it if I take a stick to the eye.
And I'm pretty much adjusted to the visor now. I don't think it significantly affects my play in a negative way at all. If anything, I'm more eager to block shots, and I'll stay in dirty areas longer.
