That's a reaction from a special set of reaction symbools. I think it's the same as a thumbs up but I'm not sure.
That's not a very good set, IMHO. Sure it looks like a fun design but how cool do you look when you are spouting gibberish? You might as well post a purple sign with green polka dots.
So if you did GOOD, it probably was intended to convey good. If you did BAD, it probably was meant to convey so and that's most of them.
You are correct, as it displays, it is in the same "position" as the duck in the basic deck.
The emotes don't necessarily directly correlate through the decks by their positions relative to each other. IE, just because it's in the same "place" doesn't necessarily mean it's the same thing. Again, most of the emotes are meant to have some ambiguity. Even the *$#@ emote doesn't necessarily mean in the "bad" way although I don't think I've ever seen it used. *$#@ could be a "good" reaction to someone's insanely good game too, the same way someone says "oh s***" when I don't know... a baseball player smashes a grand slam home run or a monster truck smashes a limousine or something.
Sure people can see them how they want ..but if I give a you a thumbs down from any of the deck correlations..it's means you were trash no matter how the recipient chooses to take it :)
My Diamond encrusted thumbs down sure ain't a sign you are a richly talented loser...
Well, if you weren't so short sighted, you might even realize that various hand gestures mean different things around the world.
No. That's just stupid... like most of the things that idiot zealots have come up with the last about 5 years.
First, I'm no master of world hand gestures. Let me make that clear, I just know enough to know that various hand gestures may have entirely different meanings or no meanings at all in whatever parts of the world.
I mean how like when George Bush visited a country driving giving the "peace" sign, and in that country that hand gesture is equivalent to "the bird". I know in some some countries, "the bird" has no or a different meaning, and in some countries the equivalent to "the bird" is pushing air with both hands at someone, basically like shoveling **** on their face.
So I'm not saying thumbs down doesn't mean "disagreeable". I just mean, and 100% certain, for the most part those emotes are NOT meant to all imply the same thing and only one thing. There is supposed to be a "harmless" aspect to using them.
The duck for example, in US context at least, 2 things (that come to mind). It can be used in the context of "sitting duck", OR it can also apply to someone who complained a lot in a match or spammed help every 5 seconds the entire match. If you disagree with that, tell WHICH ONE IT DEFINITIVELY MEANS!? And if you can't disagree with me, then it proves my point.
Good points.
BTW, the peace sign is a one meaning. Winston Churchill used it as a victory symbol but the palm has to face outward. In the UK, if the palm is facing inward it's "fork you" (more or less). There's all sorts of theories about how it developed and what the original meaning was but no one really knows.
At least that's what I've gathered from my Scottish relatives.
Draw a line down each side of the emoticons. As a column they are meant to mean the same or similar things even if you assign 5 meanings to Duck/Claw or Yellow Thumbs Down/Diamond Thumbs Down.
The Diamond sad Sad Face and the Punch You in the Face...they can mean what want but they are meant to convey the same base emoticon otherwise...they would not be in the same order they would be randomly listed?
This isn't high school debate club, this the real world where reality applies.
You can tell me Duck means "Bend Over" and I will tell you the Claw means the same thing...
Your "drawing the line" methodology doesn't work. I have the platinum deck. I've had other decks. There's several which don't correlate directly. There's no "header" column. It's really more amazing the mental gymnastics one will go through when they have an extremely limited perspective.
Arm flex. It could be positive or negative, for both your own team or the enemy team. I have generally only emoted my own team, and I generally try to use it when I player has done "better than average". However, it could also mean "in your face" to either a team mate or especially an opponent that you dominated. I can also see it used mockingly for a team mate or opponent...like someone who did 100 damage in tier 10.
The fist is another one. I'm not really sure all the ways it could be seen. Probably similar in ways to the arm flex and then a couple more.
