Rock and Stone is too good.
I was playing Heroes of the Storm the other day, with the team clustered getting ready for the match to begin, so I reflexively hit v. If you haven't played HoTS, v is the ping for retreat.
Horrible.
Sure, when I don't have my wires crossed, I can spraypaint, or do a little dance but that's not particularly motivating.
Or I was thinking about playing minecraft, and what I would do if a friend tossed me some diamonds or the like. Better hope we're in voice chat, because typing /wave or /thanks or jumping up and down hardly expresses my heartfelt appreciation and our team solidarity.
On reflection, even in games that have emotes, after rock and stone, they're all pretty much weaksauce.
I don't know that there's really a deep point to all of this, it's just amazing that such a simple v has so much power.
Rock and Stone, brothers!
