Emote Idea: "My Bad"

Ukon3··43 votes·13,123 views

I really like having emotes (other than for bm and spam) as a quick communication, mainly via the thumbs up ping after a successful gank and things like that. I think having a "My Bad" emote would be nice for when you mess up a wave push or fail a gank or dive and have the ability to drop a quick "mb" without typing. Since having a cute emote attached to saying mb makes people feel better than typing it in chat. idk, just something i'd pay 350rp for. Anyone else?

I think the Sona one works as my "mb" emote. Along with the Odyssey one for "what were you thinking?"

The Odyssey one is exclusive though :(

some of them could work, but it's more about having one that is specifically named "my bad" so people know that is your intention. The "Nice Try" is similar to good job like the "thumbs up" but when people use the nice try one after you mess something up, it's not perceived as sarcastic, whereas the thumbs up would be.

How would they visually express that though?

any number of ways, a chibi champ with their eyes looking down, a more sincere version of a pout, a little bow from a penguin or poro, etc. There's loads of body language that indicate apology.

I use the Vayne emote where she pushes up her glasses every time I fail something because I think it's funny.

The closest two that I can think of are the crying Amumu and cringing Sona emotes. However, the first is used to mean “qq more” while the second is used as “yikes”.

An emote centered around courtesy and personal accountability? If it cost $0 for them to produce, they might still lose money.

Well said.

I think the Ashe “did I do that” emote is pretty close to what you’re looking for actually.

I just use the soraka everything is fine emote whenever something goes awry

ok now im wondering if emotes effect your winrate based upon if they're communicative/offensive.

anyways im sure riot will drop one of those somewhere soon, emotes haven't been in the game for too long and they push out a lot of new ones every patch (besides that karthus one...!?)

you can almost be sure stuff like and its appropriate that would increase winrate to some extent. League is entirely a mental game. tilt can make you lose 15 games in a row in the elo you previously had a 55-60% winrate in. any ability to abate negativity in your teammates when you mess up and screw them over will help. Same reason that being toxic loses more games than not being toxic. its pretty well known that if two players are the exact same skill level, one is toxic and the other isn't, they more positive player wins more games.

This is a good idea and I feel there's room for many emotes which convey more complex expressions of responsibility like this.

I would really like more communicative emotes, which convey expression to teammates, or non-hostile intent to opponents, in place of more taunts.
