Please block emoting in CC matches.

The Devs have already address this behavior and agree with the OP:

TLDR version:

This isn't a bar fight, conduct yourselves with some class.

That's the whole irony, the TOS, and the words and announcements of the head producer all converge into telling that it is prohibited, yet the GMs never care. At all.

At least on EU. I don't even know if they're actually aware of their TOS.

"Using and repeating an emote on top of a downed opponent"

wow, its like i read the ToS or something....

look at that im right, if you're not emoting on top of them its fine.

It’s kinda funny when they dance on top of downed players. Take it as a compliment. If you’re good and hard to kill. When they finally get ya they just celebrating themselves. That’s all. It means you’re good.

so? you act like losing the ability to access a echo chamber is a bad thing lmfao
besides you're the one that keeps tryna harass me when i told you to go away.

The direction this conversation has gone, has in a way proved my point. We can all agree there is emotion in these exchanges, correct?

Imagine how much better things would be if we stayed on track and focused on the matter at hand, be it cc or discussing how to make it better. Hmm?

I am sorry but it is really a matter of getting thicker skin, if these things bother you i dont know how you survive in real life. Mean no offense but this is such a nothing burger, people cant talk in chat anyways.

Yes, let's act negatively to someone we don't know. It's not on us to assess the personal situation of every individual on the Internet right? After all, willful indifference and apathy is the true core theme of this entire community. So yeah, you wanna take pleasure in another's pain? Go for it, par for the course. I, however, will never revel in another's suffering. It's disgusting.

I thought it might be nice to add one counter argument to this since I haven't seen anyone mention it previously. But aside from the toxic emote spam, emotes can be used strategically a couple of other ways:

To boost the morale of your team by using a well placed emote after an incredible play.

To inflict psychological damage on an opponent, effectively taunting them and goading them into focusing on you (this is great especially if youre playing a low priority job and you want to free up your AD carry to do more for your team).

These are just a few ways I use them and encourage others I mentor to use them. But there are other ways you can get creative. These are just a couple I havent seen mentioned.

Please stop i'm gonna melt again like the fragile snowflake that I am.

Yeah you're totally right actually, why didn't I think of it, why try to make things better when it's how it's always been! I don't even know how I didn't think of that earlier

Thank you for the nice sophistry though. I like how getting rid of something that's just annoying (and punished by the TOS for starters) suddenly turns into getting rid of something that you cannot survive in real life with. Slippery slope much?

Naaah, just blame the victims. Who cares about their fragile egos. Oh hey, wait a minute, what is whining about losing the 5y old schoolyard bully smacktalk privilege if not a display of incredibly fragile ego?

its not punished if they're not doing it on your body, are you gonna cry when you see a MCH dance after marksman spiting you from down field?
hes nowhere near you but hes very clearly doing the griddy from the mouth of the cave after sniping you.

So you were talking about emoting in the middle of nowhere (who even cares? why are you moving the goalposts?), while we were talking about emoting over bodies.

Nice useless contribution.

lmfao okay so by you saying this you agree that so long as they're not ontop of your body its okay, got it.
quit complaining, if anybody is useless here its you.

Hoenstly they should remove the ability to kill other players in pvp, its pretty toxic.

I SUGGEST: Add a mode where you need to throw flowers at your enemy. The one with the highest amount of targets, wins.
in a game where they suggest rape, global annihilation, suicide, mass murderer, genocide, regicide, dragon sex, infanticide, abuse of good will, lalafells, etc...we can't have such thing as people having fun virtually killing each other.

Okay what? What is okay? Somebody dancing like a madman in the middle of nowhere? I don't understand what you're trying to bring up here.

You gonna piss your pants and report them? what if they were next to you and danced then?

If you can pay attention to people emoting... you're not paying enough attention to the actual match lol

I've never even noticed anyone jumping on me? When you die you should be looking at the momentum and decide if a reminder to fall back is needed, not looking at your corpse.

only if you are ontop of their body.

Depends on the usage. Most complained about examples fall under the Taunting Behavior category that Yoshi went over at the beginning of Endwalker. It's amusing to me that he game is closing on ten years of service and they still think the community outside JP can be trusted with an honor system.
