MAKE THEM
FEEL IT.

When a bot beats you, it should rub it in. Funny, never nasty: no words, no text, just a body, a pose, a prop and a sound. Below: what the bots will do with the gloats we already have, the twelve we have today ranked by how much they sting, and five new ones for you to pick from. Nothing new is built until you pick.

YOU, 5 NOV“bots gloating and emotes, especially the gloat after we die … making our player ego hurt, so its a good thing, improve it more … maybe add more ego hurting gloats”

WHAT THE BOTS DO NOW

Already being built with today’s gloats (no new art, no change to the GLOAT button, skip, slow-mo or the film). Offline and as the host only, like bots today.

GLOATS AT YOU MOST ROUNDSWhen a bot K.O.s you at the end of a round, it picks a gloat during the film about 3 times in 4 (was 2 in 5). Bot vs bot stays as it is.
PICKS THE ONES THAT STINGWeighted by the ranking below: THE L STAYS, CHAI ON THEM and FOOTREST come up most, DUSTED least.
NEVER THE SAME TWICENever the same gloat twice in a row on you. On a win streak it gloats more often and leans harder on the top ones.
A LOOK WHEN YOU’RE BACKSometimes, as you respawn or the next round starts, it turns to you and emotes from a few metres away. A cooldown keeps it rare.

TODAY: THE TWELVE, BY EGO HURT

Every gloat the game has now (one per taunt, from page 48), live, ranked by how much it stings. The bar is the weight a bot gives it when it beats you. These still have their comic words, as they do in the game; the five new ones below have none.

THE ONE YOU KEPT: THE REPLAY

Your verdict (5 Nov): none of the five except THE REPLAY, and that one should be more dramatic, with proper acting and ink magic. NOT A SCRATCH, CHALK OUTLINE, TOO SLOW and HEAD CRUSHER are dropped. THE REPLAY’s short ink variants (your 5 Nov notes: just an emote, simple and short) are on page 95: pick there.
