No more obnoxious music taunts please
Where does Pyro play the fiddle in canon anything? What does fiddling have to do with pyromania, or fire? Why do we need all of these screeching looping taunts that ruin the atmosphere wherever they are? Does anyone really want to hear the conga, slavic dance music, bongo drums, a banjo, an accordian and now a fiddle all at once during setup? Does this appeal to anybody other than special needs children? And if it simply must be in the game, why is a mask-wearing monstrous creature playing a hi-tempo Middle American jaunt? Wouldn't it be more fitting for him to play something ominous, a la Danse Macabre?

Kind of a buzzkill, aren't you? If people didn't like these taunts, they wouldn't vote for them, and we wouldn't have them. You are one of the only people that has a problem with this.

Pyro is a gentle soul...so of course he'll play the Fiddle.

It's a power creep. Every new taunt has to be more ostentatious and irritating than the last. This game's population is in a perpetual contest to one-up each other in terms of being obnoxious, endlessly.

We went from completely silent (but, you know, actually taunting) ones like the Director's Vision, to the High Five or RPS with voice lines, to ♥♥♥♥ that moved like the Conga (with music), and now taunts that do nothing except loop irritating music. Can you even use something like this in a killcam? Is anyone really going to feel taunted by Spy pulling a chair halfway out of his ass after he stabbed them?

I mean for ♥♥♥♥'s sake, even the fiddle is in pristine condition. It's not scorched or worn in any way, fitting neither the character nor the game's universe. The least you could so is give it a texture or details that make it look like he looted it from a burnt house or something.

I won't stop voting up until all the classes have at least one looping music taunt.
Deal with it

To be honest I like all this kind of things. For me this is well done and Violin is great plus Pyro is a mystery. You won't know what it will do. I think the developers did a great job with this and I would love to have this in the game. The conga and ohter taunts are also fun and nice. Not everything is about killing
