More Cap Salutes

Personal preference, but I genuinely like the Cap Salute emote for BGs.

Typically, I drop it at the end of a match, especially one that was close and regardless of whether I win or lose. I often find I’m not alone here—many other veteran players do the same, and for me it works as a kind of respectful acknowledgment (something many of the other emotes seem to lack).

Make more like these—think: a BP Wakandan salute, or a Spidey thumbs up, or Nick giving you a fist pump, Cyke flashing a wave and a big grin.

Fully agree. I'm gutted that I've clearly missed out on the cap salute emote (from a previous season I assume?) because I really like the respectful emotes rather than the laughing/mocking ones.

I use the Hela-cringe one a lot, especially when I screw up, and enjoy the Waving-Steve one for fun.

Same.

Yeah, I use the cap salute a bit for a good match, long shot for a "sucked in stooge" if I win something I shouldn't have and a good old Loki for when I screw up bad and score 4 digit points.

Nick should give you a wink with his 1 eye left...

Honestly bring this emote back for a season, it’s the only way to say GG. I’m missing it because I was cav when it was available in gc, and now whenever someone salutes me I feel bad that I can salute back, it feels like a necessary part of bgs communication lol

Yeah makes you feel smug or salty.. kinda sucks.. only reason I put it next to Deadpool "bunny ears" and Loki emote...

I use the cap pointing one as the next best thing.

That's the one I use as well.

Yeah I have that one for if someone salutes to me first but otherwise I don’t use it cuz I don’t want it to be taken the wrong way. If someone salutes at me first I just assume they understand what I mean. What’s funny though is when someone does the cap pointing emote at me at the end of a match and I immediately understand it and get to return the emote. It’s rare but is genuinely fun when it happens.

Those are some excellent ideas! I passed them along to the game team to help give them more ideas for emotes.

I always use it as a "nice one!" type message and it seems to be taken that way by most people who reply - usually with the same one, alternatives are cap salute or the Longshot finger guns

BanannaPanda

Steve wave at the start
Long shot finger guns if I win
Kitty pryde coffee if I lose
Cap salute on 3rd match whether I win or lose

DrZola

Thx @Pikolu Lots of good ideas here—it’s nice to be able to throw a little sportsmanship into what can be a tense game mode.

I like using the Beast pondering emote during the champ selection screens, then Cap Salute at the end for Good Game win or lose

JT_Supreme

The worst is when the opponent is quiet and then if they win they spam the Loki emote. That is the most loser way to win.

Wu_Bangerz23

It's the only one I'll use and/or respond to. Everything else is just toxic

Ugh yeah, I can't stand the Loki one, so obnoxious.

Please give us an Odin one.
Maybe a Venom one too. 😎

Separate but related - I think a setting to permanently mute all BG opponents would be a useful feature for many to have available to them. Thinking further, perhaps also an option to only have it enabled for friendlies could make this a good all around QoL feature.

I would pay a thousand units for that Cap emote to come back. I feel real bad when my opponent cap salutes me, but I don’t have the cap one to salute him back.

Mqc19

Mute 100% of the time. Bgs take too long as it is.

Agree👍😉
