TF2 is the only game that truly gets the act of taunting.

[Pendy]

Every modern game tries to do it, from the Fortnite Floss, to the Cheeky Tracer (Overwatch) and even the Woomy Wobble (from Splatoon).

Yet TF2 is the only one whose taunts really stick. The Conga still remains uncontested to this day. How did Valve do it?

Kazotsky kick is better.

Taunting in TF2 actually gets people salty.

TF2 > Every FPS ever

Well, in TF2 you have respawn, so basically you can kill and taunt the same player as many times as you want.

My guess would be by making the taunts accessible to players that taunt with them and by allowing you to taunt with the enemy team. Also because the characters are very memorable along with having a lot of humor.

It's just funny to see a Mad Doctor who would insert animal parts into you in a heartbeat if given the chance dance around and have fun.

No shame in that. Those games are a really high mark to reach. And I say that as an avid fan of TF2.

because they're actual taunts?
overwatch's laugh taunts (for example) are somewhat weaker, they mostly seem a lot more casual than tf2's schadenfreude

wth taunts in tf2 sucks if you really wanna taunt somebody. it's not toxic and the devs know that.
good ol toxic taunts like teabagging is always way better than any of the game's taunt.

also this game's taunts restrict your movement

i'd argue most taunts arent even taunts
i cant rub salt in someone's face with ice skating or inflating a baloon
most of them are glorified emotes

[dsquarehead01]

It's a casual game and the taunts are basically all encompassing
You can befriend the opponent by making a conga line out of spawn
You can show off your baseball skills as the lean mean bostonian
(Prob not real word)
Their diverse and reflect the game, unlike many other attempts to "Express yourself on the battlefield"

The newer taunts aren't that good at frustrating the enemy though.

The older ones are okay.
But if I were killed and saw a yeti on my death cam, I wouldn't get salty.

[mondo.]

basicall newer taunts suck at, well, taunting. maybe 90% of the taunts suck at taunting. just schadenfreude.

good ol fps games are great at taunting like desecrating your dead body with your buttocks
