So I have seen a few taunts being used in game. Samurais pointing their sword at people and vikings spreading their arms out like "come at me bro". But they don't say anything, which isn't a big deal.
But i think it would cool if I can have my hero say some fighting words like "your mine" as he points at one of the opposing hero. Heck i would like to be able to have a hero be able to spit on the ground towards an enemy hero as a big F u and say something like "You are not worth my time". That would be soooooooooo cool XD.
Or perhaps adding some warcrys, it would be dope if your character can just start yelling at they other team as u charge into battle.
Maybe they could add other light hearted emotes, such as having your hero start dancing, or saying a witty joke.
Any other ideas for a taunt, warcry, or emote? Perhaps you think emotes and warcrys are annoying and stupid, or verbal taunts will hurt peoples feelings. What do you guys think?
I'm sure the game will have tons of these with speech lines along side them in the final version. Although one idea that this sparks is adding involuntary warcrys when charging at another player who is charging at you, since both players are aware of each other's positions it won't give much away and add an element of adrenaline rush like immersion.
I'd be happy if they added emotes to indicate that you want to single someone in a team mode or just identify yourself as an observer waiting your turn. Something simple like the warden standing with their blade pointed down in the dirt while their teammate engages the fighter on the control point. Just so they know you aren't going to gang up on em.
I definitely would like to see taunts, emotes of all kinds... I don't really like the idea of each hero having a voice over taunt.. I'd prefer them all to be without a voice, per-say.. I'd love taunts to be something worth collecting. Have a few generic ones, and others you can earn through achievements and other such methods.
While I can't say anything specific I can confirm that clever players could actually use certain taunts as part of their combo with clever cancel timing. It is not recommended to do so but Kaze and I have a special move we came up with that fits a taunt into a combo.
It's incredibly funny to actually catch people off guard with it.
That being said actual voices Idk about because someone would probably just spam them.
