Oh my, the Victory Lap taunt is ALSO Pay-to-Win

[Tramuntana]

And probably the biggest of all of them, more than the 3rd person peek utility of the High Five, more than the small chance of surviving an enemy pick class with the Rock Paper Scizors, more than the stalling and undercover cap potential of the Box Trot.

If the player cancels the taunt mid-fall, the animation for exiting the taunt will cut off and the player's velocity will reset, cancelling or reducing fall damage if timed properly.

This is HUGE for some classes, allowing you to survive falls that would have killed you, and thus opening some otherwise impossible escape options. Most importantly, with the Baby Face's Blaster, you can taunt to safely drop off a cliff without loosing boost.

why the ♥♥♥♥ does this matter? literally no one is going to use this

[smittybug8295]

also the only way you are gonna fall while taunting is if you drive off a fall with a moving taunt if someone knocks you off the taunt is gonna cancel and it wont work

That's the point, with it you can pick any character and take no damage from otherwise fatal jumps, something otherwise exclusive to Scout.

problem is, you could be doing something more useful than sitting by a ledge for half the game so you can prove that this game sucks. it really wouldnt have much use at all since you cant activate a taunt midair anyway. its just a small gimmick that is really only used for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around.

That strategy has no effect on gameplay what so ever. I cannot see any genuine instance where someone would do this in a competitive, or even casual situation. There are not many jumps in maps which hurt you (other than kill-zones). If you are damaged to the point where you need a medkit, you would just find one. I don't recall ever having to take big jumps to save myself.

Even if that's the case it's very situational

every single thing you just mentioned is such a small bonus you can hardly even call them that.
do certain taunts provide an advantage?
yes, but in the same way calling south america an island is technically correct

technically no, since it has cannada and mexico to the north and south. north america is technically an island though if that's what you meant
