Only if people accuse me of being unfair.

I still cherish one occasion of when i kept destroying a person's sentries like toys and he called me a cheater. I then replied "maybe you should try a better class, like a medic"
zing.

No, not really. I haven't been able to use mic in ages cause of a laptop derp but when I do its to be helpful. Like yelling Spy.
I can be a bit harsh if you aren't pulling your weight in a dungeon/raid on WoW.
But I never say anything that's not true.
Usually its: Don't stand in that! Movemovemovemove or Your dps is not good enough. But people can be pretty sensitive. And if they keep screwing up I can get a bit pissed off.

Nope, I hate taunting because people who do it tend never to shut the fuck up. Or games that have integrated taunts make my ears bleed, like LoL the spam-able laugh makes me want to punch a baby seal.

I only do if I'm playing with friends because they know I'm kidding but randoms on the internet always take it seriously. When I do taunt friends it's either "Come get some!" or "14".

So it's 90% who don't do it. Why can't I believe this number? There is flaming that occurs on these forums despite the strict enforced policies.

If I'm online and have no idea who the other people are, then no. If I'm playing split-screen, 16-player LAN Halo with a large group of mates who all know one another......nothing is taboo...

Well i have to join in whenever one of my favourite Champions in League of Legends does their signature voice clip. Even if they are on the other team.

Some of the more awesome ones include:

"DEMACIA!"

Garen

"Haaaaa DEMACIA! *pew*"

Lux

"DEMACIA!"

Jarven IV

To name but a few.

Current favourite is of course Nocturne's "DARKNESS!" just for the sheer panic it brings upon the entire enemy team. You know some poor low health fool is shitting himself waiting for you to swoop down and instakill him with your dash, fear, soil combo.

Double points if he uses the simple evil chuckle voice clip. So awesome.

And Sejuani's "STAMPEDE!" *epic charge over a wall*

Oh and in LoL people will flame you for doing well, for doing shit, for doing neutral, for apparently killstealing in a teamfight situation, for landing clutch stuns and bindings (HAX/LUCK!) and so on so just take off those badass sunglasses and say:

"Please, cry harder"

Also anyone who uses the in-game taunt button in a fighting game after the game is over is a complete ****. No exceptions.

Though if you manage to type /l or /d or /t during an escape in LoL and actually get out you're just cool. Unless you're playing Master Yi. You can spam /t, get up and make some tea then still get out easily because the speed buff ultimate is just that good.

I've always found that actions speak louder than words if it comes to taunting. Sure I can put on a mic and go "lol u suk" or "lrn 2 play", OR I can turn my back to my opponent/do a wave emote/fire a round at their feet/do a few light hits and back off. Out of those options, the actions are both far more insulting and WAY more fun if you pull them off.

That being said, I try to just taunt the people who're taking the game a LITTLE too seriously. There's wanting to win and then there's acting like winning is the only thing that matters. It's a game, who cares?

No. Taunting is stupid. It just makes people angry and makes the game worse for everyone.
Then why do most fighting games have a litteral "taunt" button .

OT: by txt no . In fighting games i use the taunt button only if my opponent uses it first , and even then only if i am sure to win . Usually what happens when i get taunted is , i get mad and go into overdrive mode and smash my opponent to a pulp . Then i msg them saying " don't taunt unless you can back it up". Incidentally , iv'e figured out how to use taunt as a strategy in UMVC3 . What i do is , i use a really long taunt ( like x-23 ) which makes the opponent think i am defensless . Usually he would be right , but there is ONE thing you can cancell a taunt onto ... A combination super... which is instant . Made a few people rage quit that way . Totally worth it.

Only if the opponent is already acting like a dick.

Then sometimes I'll egg him on. Teabagging, etc.

If I taunt, I do so through character actions and whatever that character's preset taunt is.
However, I never verbally taunt people because I've seen such verbal taunting escalate into fights very quickly, even if the players involved know each other.

Not at all. I mainly play games like TF2 late at night, so I get crazy-fun people who are about having a fun time. Rarely, though, I'll use the in-game taunts, and that's for sillies.

And I never verbally assault people. I'm a nice person.

him over there said:
I teabag other players, that should answer all your questions.
Seems relevant:


I only taunt my friends online, and that is because it's usually comedy gold.

Yes. But only through character taunts in Team Fortress 2. I especially love the new Rainblower taunt for the Pyro.

I don't usually taunt random people unless they are being particularly annoying and I really feel like doing so. I taunt some of my friends every now and then and I'll even occasionally taunt the AI or even inanimate objects if I'm waiting for the thing to do something.
