How do I handle shit-talking in games?

How do I handle shit-talking in games?
Every time someone starts talking shit to me, I just can't come up with a clapback. So I just say some random insults, and they respond with something that strikes a nerve, and leaves me speechless.
This really hurts my feelings, and makes me not want to play.
Any tips on how to shit-talk better? Or if you have any go-to insults that I could use, that would be great.

      Really? Did you take improv classes?

      Call them a Black personlover and a pedotroony apologist, repeat it ad nauseam no matter what
      They reply? You go
      >ok, Black personlover
      >ok, pedotroony (apologist)

      ok, pedotroony apologist

      >with a clapback
      just stop being a homosexual.

      It's an intrinsic part of me, I can't change my sexuality unfortunately. If I could, I'd obviously just choose to be straight and forgo all the headaches that come from people like you, dumbass Black personlover pedotroony apologist.

      That would probably work on drowning out the noise, but they would WIN the 'fight', because then I'd look triggered, and unhinged. That's the ultimate defeat.

    A combination of "u mad bro?" and "have sex incel" are enough to make most people mad. From there, they'll say something stupid that you can capitalize on.
    For third worlders: pointing out that they are third worlders shuts them up immediately. My favourite line is "you live in a sewer lol"

    What games is this even happening in? I only ever hear shit talk if I’m playing some super normalgay game like COD and I have voice chat on(why would I do this?). Very rarely I might see someone shit talk after match in Dead by Daylight in the text chat but I always just say “yeah haha it’s fun” or something similar before going to the next match. Shit talk just doesn’t matter much to me

    I would recommend not taking advice here since most replies suggest they suck at trash talking.

    Besides, contextual insults are usually better than following a formula.

    But if you don't feel like getting into a genuine shit talking match, just throw them a normal insult like "homosexual" or whatever equivalent that won't get you banned and ignore them.
    Your opponent will pretend otherwise to try and bait you, but this is a perfectly fine way out.

      That is exactly what I suck at. I usually come up with killer responses like 3 hours later. But that doesn't mean shit, if I can't come up with it on the spot.
      And the latter part of your comment is what I usually end up doing, it works but I still feel defeated.

    don't even try. you're just gonna make more of a fool of yourself. most people like that grew up in a hostile environment of constant banter and shit-talking and have it down to a science. you either got it or you don't. and you don't. so just shut up and stay in your lane if you know what's good for you.

    Just act rightfully confised as to why theyre so mad, and then when they say theyre not mad just repeat what they said to you and ask if someone would say that if they werent mad. If they say "because youre a ____" just say that doesnt sound true.

    What people want you to do when theyre angry is valodate their anger. If you didnt do anything wrong and dont get angry they almost literally piss their pants and turn the rest of the team against them when you dont get angry.

    I had someone rant at me the other day after i TKd them when they wandered into my LOS as i was shooting at enemies- but i clutched the previous round solo and told them "youve watched me shoot, you know what i shoot at"

    Another turned into a b***hboy and start calling me "pressed" and "its just a game its not that deep" when i told him to lean to avoid getting shot on corners. c**t left when i told him he did okay and to calm down.
    >"everybodys calm bro stop getting pressed"
    >YOU are the one who said shut the frick up
    >Imagine saying stfu and calling someone else pressed.

    TLDR; People who go off in videogames are children having tantrums. Just deny them anodyne dont argue with them

    ignore the shit talker, instead gain rapport from other team members by being more positive. The shittalker either double downs and then leaves or shuts up entirely (this works 70% of the time for me)

    I handle it by not playing multiplayer games anymore, I became thoroughly disgusted with how people behaved in League of Legends even in my peer group. I felt like the odd man out, so I removed myself.
    As to handling them, what worked for me for a long time was to try to enjoy myself and be sociable. Joking around,giving warnings on enemies, etc. in team chat. Like that dumb meme where the shiba inu has insults slide right off his smooth brain, having no effect. They either shut the frick up after a while, or make themselves out to be an utter fool, further encouraging your team to shun them and induce silence, shame, or whatever works to shutting them up.
    If you're so inclined, you can also stand up for the little guy on the enemy team if someone b***hes about them. This is leaning more into manipulative territory to do so with the intent of contributing to infighting, but it can have that effect, making things easier for your side.

      Based. Same as me really. My friends invite me to pubstomp lobbies all the time. I'd much rather just play a fair game with randoms. I have no interest in stacking a team with competent friends to get an easy win over new players. Where's the fun in that? I find myself in those games occasionally, after joining a random game and ending up on a pubstomp team with a free slot. Just hearing the fat pasty c**ts snicker and giggle to each other as we beat the other team decisively makes my skin crawl. Taking the game all serious, being up their own ass, talking about how sorry they feel for the other team (they don't). You just know those homosexuals get destroyed in randomized lobbies because they don't have the skill to carry a team so they band together knowing that the probability is that the other team with have at least a couple of novice players while they will not.

    You start by seeing it as a bubble with mirror patches. With the right angle you pop it easily. If you frick it up you hurt yourself.
    If you are a smart person who seems witty and the other person doesnt want to actually put you on the spot 'i have no comeback you win' works pretty good.
    if you frick up think what you could have said. its training. nobody is just a savage. they all got there.

    Depends on the game. I generally don't reply verbally, I just switch teams and grief the game if I can. I play a lot of Left 4 Dead, its's so easy in that game, just switch teams, shoot everyone, suicide, and then quit before they can kick me and rejoin onto my own team. In TF2 I block snipers and call out spy disguises/location if they're talking shit to me. They will scream and yell and talk a bunch of shit about how they've somehow won the encounter cause they've made me resort to doing that, yet here I am enjoying myself and they're the ones screaming and yelling.
