Back in the beta, Bungie was actively considering removing emotes from the Crucible because they let you peek. It's funny how much a little animation and some text can change an interaction.
So, I get salty quick when people emote at me after they kill me. Especially teabagging. I shake it off, but that's the point, it gets to me, so I have to shake it off.
This f
ing jerk did it to me at the start of a Clash match on Widow's Court. He killed me after I had just gotten a double kill and was weak. It wasn't even a fair duel, but nope, "Miguel dances at JohnOfMars".
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....
I got your name, Miguel.
We proceeded to battle each other for the entire match.
Miguel (fusion rifle icon) JohnOfMars
Miguel waves.
"F
"
JohnOfMars (chaperone icon) Miguel
JohnOfMars hotlines.
"How ya like me now, b
?"
We were both leading our teams, and towards the end of the match we were just throwing ourselves at each other full tilt.
He wouldn't use
his Nova Bomb on anyone but me.
I saved my smash
for right in his smug face.
His team wound up destroying mine and everyone was quitting, but I fought on.
Miguel dances.
JohnOfMars waves.
Miguel taunts.
JohnOfMars disagrees.

Shaxx ended the match 10,000 to 8,000.
I took a breath and let it out slow.
I found his name in the Post Game Carnade Report and fired off a quick message.
Just sending the "Gg" stopped my blood from boiling, but I got a nice reply back.
I've been doing this a lot actually, just sending respectful post game matches to folks who gave me a good fight. Trying to "friendly up" the Destiny community. But it helps me too. Keeps me off tilt. I've never gotten a bad reply back. Most of the time it's a similar reply back of appreciation for the match, whether I won or lost.
