How to keep an idiot busy and useless in PvP

[Khonrath]

Such disrespect in a 5v1. They care more about emoting than actual PvP.

lol in a 1vs1 if you get beat and taunted why not, but at 5vs1 it's obvious you can't do nothing than die , there no proud to have beat someone at 5vs1... and then should not joking about you

Maybe that's him trying to get you to focus on him in the next encounter instead of their healers.

I'm a 5 year War vet, this doesn't phase me. However, it does humor me how these people feel so entitled to the kill.

I see anyone taunting on my team they get no heals. What are they five? Sadly I have noticed that some premades are the worst offenders.

That's actually pretty childish of you not to be doing your job to help win the game. Them taunting hurts no one (except of course the person being taunted and only if that person lets it hurt them). You not healing, however, completely affects your team in a negative way. And I'd probably votekick you for not doing your job. Abuse of the vote kick? Ehh you're harassing the team, it's valid

Taunting is a legit part of play. It may not have phased Mr. 5 year war vet here, but perhaps a lesser player would be angered because they'd think "oh it was a 5v1 it wasn't fair I'll show him next time" causing them to tunnel vision and not focus on the healers.

For people being taunted, just ignore it and return. For people on the taunting side, there is no shame in it. It might just squeeze out a few more points for your alliance if you get a hot-headed player.

Meh, if we were to play that way, I'd vote kick every person that ran away from a fight for "not doing their job". If you don't earn the respect of your healers, you aren't getting any heals! All of course dependent on the player.

This is so true. Ive lost count of how many times I've taunted opposing players with a /laugh emote and popping champagne after I kill them to have them come back in the next encounter and completely ignore my healers and focus on me aggressively hardcore. Its amusing cause I will completely ignore these people, let them continue attacking me, while I continue assaulting their healers all the while my own healers are keeping me up more easily cause they have less ppl harrassing them lol. And once I do kill their healers you can bet I'll turn to the dps that have been futily attacking me the whole time, kill them since they no longer have any more heal support, and then laugh at them again.

You're supposed to retreat from a losing fight >.>

I've been in countless winning fights where I'd kill off the last few dps (or a tank, it's always at least a tank) that stick around for some reason even if all their healers die. I mean it's just feeding my team kill points, and increasing their respawn timer. If you're healers are eating it, retreat and regroup, 3-4 remaining dps ain't going to do shit against the opposing team, and even if they do kill a healer they can just raise up as if nothing happened, netting you maybe 3 points but costing you another 12 kill points. And not only that, you start staggering your respawns, so the healer that we killed is running back to save the dps ass, right as the dps dies, and then everyone else trickles in and gets killed one by one.

Tactical retreats are how the good players go like 8+ kills with maybe 1 death a match.
