Lyte, I'm fucking fed up with this emote spamming

It did not used to bother me. That was when it happened maybe once a month and it was "that guy" who was just a cocky bastard.

Now it seems like everyday I'm dealing with "that guy." But not just "that guy." I'm dealing with the asshole spamming taunt while in front of a tower and taking shots because I know I can't kill him in 1v1. I'm dealing with the Leona spamming taunt/laugh out in front of the teamfight to try to goad me. I'm dealing with the Ryze who is spamming taunt under his turret. The Miss Fortune who is content to spam taunt in the middle of a teamfight because she knows she outdpses our ADC by that much.

And you know what? I fucking kill them.

I turret dive that Ryze and come out with half health just like the other 5 times. I initiate on that Leona and ace the team. I flank the MF and drag her to the ground, kneeing her in the chest with a spear in his throat and screaming at her face, "WHO'S LAUGHING NOW BITCH?" as I HSS - Spear Shot her to death. I ask my jungler to work with me and take down the cocky bastard who is letting himself get hit by turrets. I win. I almost never lose my cool because I know how to abuse the enemy when they think they're hot shit.

So what's the problem? Two things:

1. No matter how hard I beat them, they have the idiocy to keep doing it. They do it over, and over, and over as if somehow something will go right this time. No matter how easily you can do something, if someone is saying to your face, "ok prove it," every single time as if the first 5 times didn't prove it already, it's going to grate on you. It's tedious and annoying.
2. ** MY FUCKING TEAMMATES ARE DOING IT.** And they are dying.

The angry, vengeful half of my mind that gave in to Kalista wants these edgy dipshits banned for 14 days with the following reason: "You spam emotes and are under performing in game. It's unsportsmanlike and makes you look stupid. Stahp." The logical, crafty half of my mind says this:

"The only reason they are spamming taunts is because, for the most part, it costs them nothing. If, suddenly, they couldn't attack, move, cast spells, or do anything for the 5-10 seconds it takes to do the complete emotion, they would more heavily weigh the idea of the emote."

I like that. I like the idea that if some idiot wants to suppress himself before or during a fight and basically place a "hey, kill me right now" sign on his chest so that even the bronziest bronze 5 could kill them, they'd think twice. I don't want taunts to be removed or laughs. They add flavor and honestly, in moderation, the taunt can be a good, clean way to add some competitive spirit between opponents.

But my Lord when this shit is taken to the Nth degree it loses all of its flavor and purpose. When someone teabags your corpse, you're like, "wow, wtf." When someone teabags the air before trying to kill you, you're like, "wtf is this idiot doing?" When your teammate teabags the air before trying to kill an enemy and then dies, you're like, "WTF, WHAT IS HE DOING?! THIS FUCKING MORON."

Seriously, I don't want to remove emotes; make them uninterruptible and make them have a long animation. That way, you can actually appreciate the entire animation for the beauty and creativity of it instead of just spamming it as a way of annoying the enemy because you're too shit to actually outplay them.

I would love to see a Darius player press "l," laugh for 2 seconds and then be like, "wtf? why couldn't I move for 10 seconds?!"

Rule 1 of war: don't taunt an enemy who can still fight.
