Taunts are pretty lame.

Taunts aren't very cool. Sort of lame, actually. I thought they were supposed to scare a player into using their ability? Or is it just for something funny during the day?
Maybe I'm not using them correctly? Or is it a bug that they don't work at night?

I think the taunts are more for something funny, but might have a tactical value.

I can see that. They're just so tiny, I barely noticed it when I was taunted.

Again, anything on the PTR is not final, so it might be that the taunt gets a bit bigger, so that it is noticeable.

In all honesty taunts are a fun* idea, BUT they have a HUGE problem with them. They cost "Town points" not Merit points. WHO THE FUCK AT BMG THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THEM COST REAL FUCKING MONEY. Now granted they are purely cosmetic and I highly doubt that they'll be "useful" in ranked as at the moment all you can do is make a dog piss on someone's leg, turn someone into a frog and make a grave in someone's garden and tbh all they serve as is a means to humiliate another player with no real "tactical advantage". Now I suppose you could say since most games go by this motto that since its cosmetic it can cost money and I get that, I do, but until they make them purchasable by merit points I don't think many players will be going out of their way to buy taunts. I'm certain that BMG plan to add more taunts in if they do get implemented (Which I actually hope they do since I like the idea) and I'm sure some of them will be purchasable by merit points but at the moment they really aren't worth "Town points".
