yeah im sure - it's how you tend to respond to people who openly profess their sportsmanlike conduct. or at least i've noticed you talking down to peeps multiple times for saying stuff along those lines. some kinda chip on your shoulder i figure

it just happens to be the language of a person beaten by fireballs while trying to combo, is all.

Trash talking is designed to up the stakes (and thereby increase excitement) by putting your dignity on the line and giving incentive to others to shut you up.

Trash talker defends their rights to talk shit, challenger works to shut them up.

When the insults have no legitimate connection to a competitive event, it isn't trash talking anymore, it is just insulting and/or being a douche.

Its for the competition hype. Those who take the trash talk the wrong way are doubtful. Thus, their insecurities play a part in the event.

Its all about the moments in sports and gaming. Putting stakes on the line supposably has competitors performance at their very best. Trash talk is just a way to light a fire under folks. Take it personally and its not the performance in doubts, its you.

Depends on the context. I don't like mean spirited things in general, but I love when a bad guy gets hard countered, verbally or otherwise.

Pretty much what others have said - it's the equivalent of doing a slam dunk on your friends and saying

UNHHHHHHHHHHH

afterwards

What do you even mean an adequate explanation?

"I dont understand why people like a very common thing which most dudes do with their friends and I need an adequate explanation."

Good grief bud

you might have missed it but i acknowledged that my request may be considered unreasonable. people just keep restating it's fun over and over, and that's fine, but it doesnt help me understand. like i said - it's a 'me' problem

Tc was snarky when he got an answer.

Also what answer do you expect? An indepth psychological assessment of the human condition as it relates to trash talking?

Theres evidence of trash talking going all the way back to the Colosseum, so its an accepted and well established aspect of sports. Hell, its in The Iliad. Its also a valid way to test your ability to deal with distractions while playing. If you cant handle trash talking, if it disturbs you or interferes with your ability to win the game, you arent as good as you think you are. Its like complaining about steals in basketball; you may not need it to win the game, but its an accepted part of the game and if you cant deal with it youre not as good as you think you are.

League of Legends is why I prefer to play with my entire team muted and the enemies too. I have no time for people talking if it distracts my team. Win or lose I guess!
