What is acceptable for taunting?
So the folks in Player Behavior are bonkers, thinking you can only say things like "gotchu >:P" are acceptable taunts.
says, those taunts are candidates for the hall of shame! I appeal to the wiser! I appeal to YOU, dear Gameplay League players! WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE TAUNTING? These are some taunts that CHAMPIONS IN GAME say!
"Lowly blasphemer! You are in the presence of a god!" "Are you even trying?" "Amateur hour." "Come back when you've collected all the bits of yourself!" "Only two jokers in a deck, and I got dealt you." "Smile, child, or I'll shove your jaw into your brain." "You are mediocrity. My genius will supplant you."
I believe taunts SHOULD be personally directed, even if indirectly. It is, after all, "a remark made in order to anger, wound, or provoke someone."
"I've seen Support Nunu do a better job in JG than your JG... Sorry (insert lane opponent), better JG wins! "You do know Sion's passive, don't you? I mean, I'd assume in ranked, a player would know the champion they're playing, but you make me wonder." "I'm embarrassed to be matched against you. I thought I was better than this... This is ranked, isn't it?"
...and maybe even harsher. These are probably too far.
"Are you guys a couple? Because I'm seeing an ADC with anemic girlfriend support." "SCRUB- you thought you could flash into a 1v1 against a fed Morde?" "For a Vel'Koz, you're not very good at zoning... Actually, you seem a shame to Vel'Koz players... You should try Yasuo, he's more your style. Brash."
SO, where is that line between good taunting and unsportsmanlike torment? Your opinions please.
