BMorGG? - laughing at small lane victories

I had a brief search and I don't think ALLChat has covered this one, I'm interested to get community thoughts on it.

I forget when exactly, but I've developed the habit of laughing at Blitz when he misses hooks in lane. My logic was probably something like "Blitz is basically trolling by existing, so why not give him something back. Also, HOW FUN IS MF LAUGH RIGHT?".

However, then this spread to missed Thresh hooks as well, now I occasionally spam Nami laugh whenever I land a bubble. Am I going too far? I only ever do this with MF or Nami because MF has best laugh LoL and Nami has 2nd best laugh that is also spammable.

Here's a hypothetical for you.

You are/are paired with a Thresh or Blitz in bot lane, laning against Nami and MF. Whenever the Blitz/Thresh misses a hook on either of them, that one laughs. Whenever Nami lands a random poke bubble on you, Nami gives 3-4 rapid spam laughs and maybe a "Swim at your own risk"

What do you think of these people?

That is taunting. Highly triggerable, highly toxic, and highly reportable. Shame on you.

Joking about someone missing a couple hooks or pulls is fine to me. I personally enjoy people on the enemy team pointing out my early mistakes because it makes that late-game pentakill 10x sweeter.

While that's partially true, consistently pointing out every little mistake trying to put people on tilt isn't really a good idea. I'm not sure if it's something you can get banned for, or even muted for, but it's just being a prick in general anyway. There seems to be a fine line between what's toxic and what's not, and taunting in this fashion is definitely pushing it.
