Roller Champions’ Victory Dance Is The Most Brilliantly Toxic Thing I’ve Seen In Years

Nobody likes a gloating winner. Sore losers suck as well, but they’ve already lost, so it’s natural to extend them a little sympathy. Those who rub their wins in your face, however, are just jerks. Every gamer will have encountered these types of players at some point in their life - unless you play exclusively single-player games and don’t visit any community pages or forums, you’re going to have dealt with some showboating dickhead in your time.

With couch co-op you can get all up in your friend’s faces, but online you have to be a bit more creative. Well, not that creative, actually. Teabagging has been the dominant form of online gloating for years now. Once you kill a player, there’s no greater form of disrespect than dangling your nether regions over their lifeless corpse before the pixels disappear. I don’t know what game started the craze, but it’s endured for decades.

Some players prefer to toy with their victims before they kill them, like a cat pawing at a terrified mouse before striking the final blow. Getting killed by a 360 no-scope trick shot in Call of Duty always stings, as does watching someone do a stupid Fortnite dance right before blasting you in the face, but it’s easy to brush these people off as tryhards with no life. Yeah, they beat me, but only because they’re a sweaty bastard with no job who spends all their time watching YouTube montages and endlessly playing 1v1 on Rust.

I resent these people. They make gaming a worse space for everyone involved and can’t just take the win for what it is, they have to rub it in. That’s how I used to think before playing Ubisoft’s Roller Champions. Now, I live for the toxicity. I can’t wait
