Is BMing OK?

2-3 years ago I would think BMing very anoying and it's ruinig our game exp. I always reported ppl who say "ez" at the end of the game or those zed/yasuo mains who get cocky after they get one kill on you. But then I went to play HoTS and realized the importance of the /all chat. The game is just not the same whithout it and I can't rly explain why. In time I grew to like BMing. It still enrages me very hard when ppl do it to me, but that only gets me to play on 100%. The problem is that ppl might not see it that way. Im never being toxic to my teammates (not on the chat atleast), I,ve never been banned and I have lvl 4 honor, but surely someone reports me from time to time. That might get me a ban someday and I'll have to rely on riot to bail me out.

Friendly BMing is, I believe, allowed. Tread carefully though -- there's a very fine line. GGEZ isn't really friendly BMing, for example: it's basically saying the game was super easy and the opposing team is awful.

If everyone is friendly and taking little snipes at each other, though, you're fine, so long as the language used isn't insulting or offensive -- the occasionally "nice ult, Draven. :P" at an ult that clearly wiffed by a mile, for example.

I don't think it's as much as is it ok as it is does someone take offense to it, since that's basically what it is to report someone for whatever reason they are reporting for.

Personally i don't care if someone bms it doesn't affect me at all.

One time when I was loading in a match the "Did you know" message did say competitive BMing was allowed. so
