This is a mean taunt. You would use this to tick the person you just killed who was dominating you a moment ago. I say put it in Valve, (please)?

It's better without the lasso. But I would love to have this in game at a decent price. I would rape the shit out of this taunt

@EVERYONE! Its his newest invention, The Invisible Rope!

So, where's his lasso?

Should be only one taunt but multi-class

Don't... understand... What is this suppose to represent? I know the lasso movements are common with Texas cowboys, but invisible?

...@Knusperfrosch, this isn't a taunt-kill... taunt-kills are (I'm pretty sure) only taunts for weapons. This isn't a weapon.

What does a lasso have to do with the devil?? Soul devouring? What is going on?

I guess Valve would have to add the lasso?

Sadly, I doubt the idea is viable in-game as a taunt. Actually trying to hit another character with the animated lasso would be a nightmare even if the other player stood absolutely still. And then the lasso would need to go around them and reel them in, despite not being a real weapon... how would that even work with collision boxes? If the lasso went through someone it would just look stupid.

And lest someone people now yell, "make it a new weapon, Valve!", no, the concept won't ever become a weapon: For the simply reason that Valve already experimented with a "reverse airblast" ages ago that was supposed to pull people towards the Pyro instead of pushing them away. But that created chaos with the hit detection and lag compensation system, so they shelved the concept.

So there's really no rope? I guessed by the thumbnail he just swung it over his head, it was much different than I thought. It's still good though, nice laugh.

would make a nice taunt kill or hell make the taunt stun for 2 or 3 seconds

instead of making it two completely seperate taunts why not make it one? like they did with the conga it was slightly different for each class but the same taunt

Better with Engie for sure.

Would be better with the lasso.
