I'm in the same camp as a lot of people posting here, as I don't accept any friend requests after a game.  I don't get very many, but I've had a couple lately from very close games (I won one, and lost the other). I just don't want to deal with baby rage or gloating.

Maybe I don't want to be your friend, ever thought about that?

Some added me because they are obviously salty. But its fine. I added them after some time so they wouldn't remember who I am.

Few days later, they pass me 80G. Its really good to have many friends. Its win-win situation.

Yesterday I had a match against a mage in Arena. He cast Cabalist tome which gave him 1 flamestrike and 2 Pyroblast.

I read his hand on having 2 pyroblasts immediately and he didn't play all too well, but I didn't win (I did miss lethal however, because I wasn't paying attention and forgot to play around counterspel (which he got from Babbeling Book).

After he won, he added me to say: "Woah, such a crazy and fun game!"

The thing is, I don't think he would have send me that request had he lost that game. I tried setting away my salt for that insane Cabalist tome and me missing lethal. We chatted a bit, and I guess he's allright. Was happy he wasn't being a dick about his victory, so am glad to keep him in my list.

 Tl;dr: Accept friend request. If they're being idiots in your chat delete them. Otherwise, gain a friend.

 Dude he just wanted to see if you are salty after that or not. That was all.

 Not really, he said my deck was nice and complimented on some of the plays I made (Auchenai Soulpriest + Hozen Healer to kill his Grommash). Also, there was mentions of good luck for the next Arena I started, so no. 

Just you having the cup half empty, that's all

add then, say "sup dude", get insulted and unfriended. thats what beem happening for a long time now, long time i dont make a friend by adding last opponent :(

never had angry friend request in my 3+ years of hearthstone. guess it has something to do with not playing braindead decks

i deal with them by clicking big red X next to request...

I accept most friend requests.  It's about 50% ragefest and 50% polite frustration.

The ragefests usually have something like this: "Nice RNG lucky f*cking n*er bullshit."  I just unfriend them and leave it at that.

I had one guy who started out like this but I shut him down quick.  It went:

HIM: LOL more jade shaman trash

ME: Yep.

HIM: u'll neve rmake legend playing net decks

ME: Nope. But I won't make legend either way because I'm not a skilled player, I just play strong decks as well as I can.  Jade is all I can win with consistently.

HIM: LOL me too 

ME: Tight meta right.  Looking forward Un'goro

HIM: LOL me too.  I have play a friend u want in?

ME: Sure!

Achievement Unlocked:  sooth irate college freshman (reward: 80 gold)

I generally accept them unless pirate warrior. If they talk shit and run i get a laugh, if the complement or talk about the game then i have another play a friend/spectate fulfiller. Currently at 38 friends and get 1-2 PaF quests for easy gold.

I usually accept, then a couple of days later I end up getting 80 gold because they have the quest. I have only ever had one salty dog, after i was able to get turn 5 lethal as tempo mage purely by flamewaker luck.

Accept everyone. Worse that can happen, you get straight up insulted and then they are likely to unfriend you anyway. My phylosophy is to let them be salty. After all, it is up to them to get fully mad over a game or to keep it cool and casual. Personally, when I do send friend request, it is to thank my opponent for their good play. There's no need to ever get bitter, even if your win rate gets frustratingly mediocre ... As a wise buddhist once taught:

“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

Simple. I always accept them. If someone is toxic, I report them, then send them this video:

I generally accept, especially if they lose. I never accept if I win while playing a mill deck, because that never ends well.

Edit: I also never accept if it is a request from the latest face deck. I don't have time for angry children.

Usualy i try to friend people after game and hope they are not salty. or not asume im salty.(if it was fun game and both were good sports about the game)

step 1. Say gg fun game.

Step 2. Have a good discusion about our decks.

Well Perkele :D

It depends on the deck I am playing:

• If I am playing flavor of the month and won disgustingly, I skip most invites, because I am currently playing to win, not to be amused and have fun.
• If the deck is a meme/combo deck, I always accept invites, because that usually means I pulled off a ridiculous combo, and I get the affirmation :D
• If the deck is a control deck, I almost never get any invites, unless the game went to fatigue, then sometimes the opponent add me and we admire the epic battle that just transpired.

I got my first Babyrage friend request the other day. I found it to be hilarious.
