Why not respectful messaging when we die?

Okay, I'll be the "snowflake" who completely agrees with you.

I understand the idea behind them as they are. They're not meant to be taken too seriously, they're meant in "good fun." Blah blah blah.

Okay, Respawn, here's an idea: Have them as they are with every player having the option to turn off incoming kill quips. Just as we can mute all players in the lobby. The killer still gets to say the quip, but nobody has to listen to it if they don't want to.

And just from the standpoint of practicality, I bet you there's no shortage of players who get killed and are already angry enough about that, then to have the enemy do what is sure to feel like a mean spirited quip... this could easily be enough to tip the balance and motivate a player to quit a match that is still far from over. Yeah, yeah, I know, that's on the player, not on the game. But also, it's kinda on the game too. Food for thought.
