Best Taunts in Dota 2

Dota 2 is a mental game, and one of the best ways to shatter the enemy team’s focus is by spamming hero taunts. We all know taunts can be obnoxious and throw people off, but only a few of them really hit the mark and make your opponents tilt to oblivion. Here are the 15 best Dota 2 taunts that are sure to make people lose their cool. 

#15 Tiny – Rolling Stone

The Tiny taunt is one of my favorite ones to spam. It’s an incredibly fun taunt where Tiny jumps, curls up, and does a little roll. Unfortunately, the taunt doesn’t have the best uptime, so the fun is pretty short lived. If the taunt lasted longer, this one would make it higher on the list. 

#14 Kunkka – Step Lively

The Step Lively taunt features Kunkka busting out a funny little dance, but the real highlight is the music it plays. Imagine losing a team fight, arguing with your team, and then seeing this pirate dancing in front of your tower. 

#13 Spirit Breaker – Raging Bull

This one is a real tilter. Imagine this: Spirit Breaker charges at you from across the map, and right after he lands, he starts taunting while you know the rest of his team is following up to finish you off. 

#12 Primal Beast – Temper Tramplum

Primal Beast’s taunt is simply too funny. He turns into a baby with all the baby accessories. It’s ironic because he’s literally the final boss in a Dota 2 event. Yet, here he is, reflecting all the carry players babyraging. 

#11 Lion – To Hell and Back!

Lion’s taunt is just so obnoxious. He starts shuffling and dancing with his hands while the most annoying music plays in the background. This one is so funny to spam, particularly when he’s taunting while zoning out the enemy core in lane. 

#10 Pangolier – Foolish Gallantry

Pangolier starts showing his acrobatics, jumping around and performing circus tricks. It’s a fun taunt to spam, and it’s flashy enough to make enemies distracted. And god, the audio coming from this taunt is just so obnoxious. 

#9 Omniknight – Bathed in the Glow

This taunt is outright beautiful. Omniknight floats and bathes in heaven’s light while T-posing at you. If he’s not asserting true dominance, I don’t know what is.

#8 Chaos Knight – Orderly Chaos

During Chaos Knight’s taunt, his horse starts dancing with him. But the real highlight is the audio – the trumpets are extremely tilting to listen to. On top of that, his illusions also start taunting along with him. Using this after you one-shot a support is top-tier. 

#7 Wraith King – Fit to Rule

The Fit to Rule taunt makes Wraith King – who is a literal king – doing Fortnite dances. It’s super funny because his skeletons also join in, so you literally have an undead army doing 12-year-old dances with annoying audio. 

#6 Leshrac – Party On? Party Off!

The space goat busts out some really good dance moves while a moon-like disco ball spins right above him. This taunt is flashy and fun, but not the most tilting one in the game. 

#5 Ursa – Not Just Your Average Bear

Ursa, who’s supposed to be this ferocious bear, starts acting like a circus performer. He rides a unicycle while clapping his cymbals. The audio that comes out of this taunt is super tilting, especially from the clashing cymbals. This taunt is so dreadful to hear as an opponent. 

#4 Nature’s Prophet –  Make It Rain

This Nature’s Prophet taunt has everything. He has great dance moves, obnoxious audio, and flashy visuals with money pouring down from the sky. This one is super tilting, especially after he teleports from across the map to gank you. 

#3 Tidehunter – Backstroke!

You have this giant sea monster, who is supposed to be at the top of the food chain, doing backstrokes like he’s a swimmer. This taunt is so fun to use after denying a creep from the enemy carry. Unfortunately, this taunt doesn’t have the greatest uptime. Truly heartbreaking. 

#2 Undying – Funk of the Dead

Undying starts cosplaying Michael Jackson as he moonwalks across the battlefield with some of the most tilting music known to mankind. Being an undead creature, he’s basically reenacting “Thriller” for everyone to see. It looks even funnier when he’s under his ultimate. 

#1 Lifestealer – Chain Break Dance

The Lifestealer taunt is my undisputed number one. He starts breakdancing in circles while hardcore music plays in the background. You can even make him spin insanely fast by making him spin with your manual mouse clicks, turning him into a Beyblade. It’s literally a 10/10 on all fronts – flashiness, tilt, and fun.
