T-BAGGING - Mental Strats!

I’ve seen a few threads about good 'ole Tea-Bagging today so thought I’d weigh-in.

What is Tea-Bagging?
Crouching over an enemy you’ve just killed repeatedly.

What’s the point?
It’s generally to show ‘BM’ or ‘bad manners’ to your opponent.

Is it a strategy?
Surprisingly, yes.
Often an enemy that receives the Tea-Bag (especially after being killed in a ‘cheap’ fashion as deemed by the community: McCree = flash+FtH, Junk = mine spam, Moira = dmg ball+rmb) gets rather angry and generally wants to ‘kill’ the tea-baggers to get revenge.

I’ve noticed enemies will single you out (even when they should be focusing on other things) to try and kill you to ‘return the bag.’

So…?
I recently read a post by a GM on the forums that said something to the effect of "Tilting your enemy can be a viable strategy."
I’m not suggesting you t-bag every enemy you kill but in a tough game and especially after a tough-fight you win, a well-placed, slow and sensual bag may be just the thing to throw their Genji in to rage mode and win you the game.

Food for thought…

I’ve done it before, although if I got completely outplayed I’m fine being bagged

Yeah I actually enjoy if an enemy takes the time to bag me ('cause they ain’t focusing on the game if they’re doing it!) :smiley:

This is a good way to get an enemy to get angry, and play worst.
You can add a little joke on him if he fails, to get all his team to target him, throwing guaranteed.

D.va should be allowed to crouch in mech. And it should do damage.

Walking into an enemy team caught by your Zarya’s grav and literally tea-bagging them to death while spamming “I’m number 1” would be the ultimate tilt

Oh yeah…especially if you cancel their ult, I’m going in heavy with the ‘bag.’

T-bagging in order to incite tilting and nerdrage only works against the most easily triggered, insecure, and angry players.

Good luck finding someone like that in Overwatch!

LOL!!! I love this! :smiley:

So basically it works on 90% of OW population then?

if i got owned by someone, 1v1, no solo ult, i will respect a good tbag
on it being a strategy, if you show weakness in match chat, i will focus that person, because it showed thats annoyed…and maybe i can get it to tilt and play worse or even leave.

Pretty much! Timing can play a big part in an effective bag too…

If I get tea bagged it means I screwed up and got owned.

For people like me tho when I get bagged I consistently have a burst of ‘god-mode activated’ so if you tea bag someone who isn’t insecure and uses losses and failures as the driving force to improve, be scared lol.

Although that’s gotta be like .0001% of the ow population, I actually feel weird and alone in my school of thought sometimes

Exactly my point though! It makes enemies sometimes focus on you (and yes can actually make them concentrate harder) but their attention shifts slightly and that’s a huge win for the ‘bagger.’

Oh sorry I didn’t mean I focus them, just focus in general haha.

Yep, someone who clearly vents over match chat is a prime candidate for some fresh tea-leaves. The weakest link in the chain…

Going on a personal revenge vandetta is just as ‘throwy’ as afk honestly. You ain’t helpin anything but your ego.

Op if it tilts ppl and they go bananas out of posistion trying to kill you I’d say that’s a viable and successful strat :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, they’re clearly not focusing on the game 100% anymore.

Is it moral? Probably not but I find it surprising how you can entice people to come at you for the remainder of the match…

Never cared for it, don’t even see it because I usually skip everything to just spectate my mates to see how they are holding up.
