I really doubt using emotes would get you punished. However, I will give you a piece of advice though. If you plan on using it to "tilt" or "rub it in" to the enemy or even teammate's faces, you best make very damn sure your chat in that game is clean and impeccable. Because while using emotes is most likely not punishable, if you don't have a clean chat, you might get punished when said enemy or teammate salt reported you (MOST ESPECIALLY if you used one of the zero tolerance word that game, even if in jest. You really don't want to get scanned by the IFS triggered by the salt report)....
