AdamWTS Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I don't think unusual taunts were ever supposed to be as much of a big thing as unusual hats anyway. Actually, when you think about it, unusual taunts are vastly inferior to unusual hats in a first place! When using an unusual hat your effect is visible all the time, regardless of what you're doing or what weapon you're holding. And unusual taunts? You need to stop, perform a taunt, and you can see the effect for a brief moment or for as long you don't do anything but loop the taunt. With the recent increase in unusualifier drops, unusual taunts are going to hit the low shelf. And that's where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see your hat effects ingame when: 1. You taunt 2. You lose a game I may have missed something else, but these are the main ways. (3rd person doesn't count. It's either a cheat or server plugin) You see your taunt effects ingame when: 1. You taunt The only plus I see for hats is that other people can always see your effect. So, if you want to show off, hats may be better for you. (humblebrag by wearing hat) However, there's also an argument to be made that taunts can be used to show off better than hats. Taunt effects are larger / more noticeable to yourself and others. (besides a few like 72/strike) Plus, you can have 8 unusual taunts on any 1 loadout, so you can show off more unusuals without having to go and change your loadout. (obvious-brag by taunting with every unusual taunt you own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksolis01 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Nah, they are still wanted, just not at their current bp tf price when they were much rarer. We should actually be seeing a lot more movement in the unusual taunt market as more people can afford them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
