Taunts (Pics & Speech)
Interested to know if anyone is getting as tired as I am of certain pics & speech phrases being used as insulting taunts post-vanquish & on the podium? I'm not a huge fan of taunts being used post-v...

If someone taunts, it's generally being seen as being a bit of a show-off, or sometimes rude. However, if someone does taunt, opponents get free shots at them, so it somewhat balances out (I suppose). Most of the gestures/speech in this game are fine and are fun to have or use, whereas some others may not be as nice. The 'brown emoji' from the Feastivus Festival, some people find it funny, while others may not. So it's quite important, when adding more speech into the game, that the developers be careful that it goes off the rails and the game becomes chaos! 🏀
EDIT: that it DOES NOT go off the rails and therefore game becomes chaos! Sorry about that! 🤭
EDIT: I'm sure everyone knows what the 'Brown Emoji' is - but I don't want to say it! 🤫
I logged on for two reasons today: 1. To keep my login streak active (😂) 2. To make a similar post (happy to post in yours instead).
I wish these taunts weren’t a part of the game. I detest them and don’t care who uses them, I think it’s a TRASHY way to be.
I was taught to be a good winner and loser; lost from youth these day’s. 😢

I pretty much never taunt. In fact in GW2's taunt challenges/quests I always did them against AI or if my friend was on, we'd taunt each other to get them done. Most of the messages are amusing (the cantaloupe one, beef wellington, etc.), but yeah adding the poo emote didn't help anything.
I actually haven't seen that many taunts in BfN but I've barely touched PvP since the 8v8 change after testing it out for a few days so if it's gotten bad, I can't say from my own experience. Ops have been pretty friendly overall, usually stuff like 'loving' for getting heals or just emoting between waves, cheering for elite bosses, etc.
Overwatch had voice chat and that game was really toxic, so much so that it may now be worse than World of Tanks was and that game was awful for that. Love getting death threats from the first guy destroyed on my team when I can't win as the last tank on the team against 3 enemies of equal and greater tiers.
@Iron_Guard8 That's good that you haven't seen much taunters - people who do so frequently should not taunt every time they earn a vanquish!. I very rarely taunt, because I'm often healing up my health or too busy in battle. 12 v 12 Turf Takeover > More Battle and Chaos > Less Time to Taunt, or More Likely to Be Vanquished if Taunting. If the developers revert back to 12v12, I'm all for it! 8v8 is OK though!

@spIash_damageSorry!!! 😂For what? Starting this topic? I was so surprised when I saw the topic but I imagine your initial post will be better received than mine by a few members of this forum so I’m glad you made it; my post wouldn’t have been so nice. 😊👍
