Re: Opponent's taunt-time is TOO LONG

@chogath_playerTaunts are tricky because people have different views on them! I find them quite fun if you're in a good-natured, evenly matched lobby, but they can feel insulting if you're being stomped or targeted & in those kind of games, I've known people leave the game because that's the final straw. Because players can sometimes get offended (or even abusive) if you taunt, I rarely use then myself when I vanquish someone & mainly use them (still) as a way of saying hello or thanks.
I do agree that you should be able to cancel the gesture in some way!!

ADDED: Though I find it funny seeing the person who killed you being vanquished because they taunted! 😂

Bullies suck in real life and in-game.  Many people use taunts to bully others and those people should be ashamed.

I wish taunts were completely removed because more times than not, people who use them INTEND to make others mad.  

Im sitting here like, dang, little person... what kind of no-life loser tries to make kids rage quit a game by targeting them and then taunting?  

Games didn’t used to be like this... it’s LAME these days.  If my opinion isn’t the popular one, I’m okay with it.

@chogath_player  I mean - if you taunt people you don’t know... it’s the LITERAL definition of the word:

I taunt only when someone is targeting me and taunting me first or when I frag @dwooten77   ... that is the only time.  Really.

EDIT:  to clarify, I think light-hearted taunting is FUN.., but how often do you play against people you like?  Taunting is usually bullying.  Period.  If anyone reading this taunts in a fun-loving manner, by all means, no offense intended.

@spIash_damagePoor @dwooten77!!
I'm the same but will add I also taunt when everyone's doing it for a community challenge. Most of my taunts are accidental though - I seem to have a knack of dancing with a team-mate the second one of my potato mines goes off . . . . 🤦‍♀️😂

ADDED: To get back to the original point, I agree the time does seem annoyingly long, but think that's needed to allow the chance of revival.

To be fair, he started it.  I usually TRY NOT TO SHOOT MY FRIENDS... but HECK no... let me be dying with a baby in my arms and a bus of nuns behind me.... if dwooten has a nuke.... hasta la vista... 😢

...furthermore, the ONE time he ever killed me, it wasn’t ONE taunt, it was eleventeen (until I hit respawn).  This was back in GW2.... 🤦🏼‍♂️

@spIash_damage @ToastedSarnie everytime me and splash play together my son is using wifi and my internet is bad.  

To to be honest splash and I come from similar backgrounds coming up and somewhat now.  When someone “taunted you”,  your hands went up.  On a pretty regular basis.  That’s just how it was.  Was it right?  Not by any means.  Was it a choice?  Not by any means either.  It was just different times then.  I agree with him on taunting, but we’re just old and a product of our raising.  It’s obviously carried over to our gaming.  But if you want a good laugh and your in a game with us when one of us gets taunted,  put your headset on and grab some popcorn.

All bs aside, gaming with me and Dwooten is reason enough to buy a PS4.

We don’t get to game near as much lately (due to changes in my schedule and us both being business owners)... but... I doubt you’ll find a pair of yuckheads like us who have good-hearted fun and promote the community.

Wish our entire forum community was on PS.

EDIT:  and to be fair, dwooten’s kid is usually playing something/watching something wirelessly when we game and he really does have horrible internet.  It’s not all about winning for us, though... we just advocate fun.
