If he had a Lightning Storm turn 3, you would've been fucked. Also, saying Well Played before you actually win the match shows poor sportsmanship.

Actually the Well Played at the end of the game is from most Players considered to be a nice gesture, while greeting is BM.

No one thinks that...

"Turn 3 lethal WP? Well fuck you too mate!"

When you should say WP w/o BM-ing? After a never seen before combo of extreme awesomeness that involved a OTK from at least 30 HP while in fatigue.Everything else is BM. Jokes aside, just don't WP people if you don't want them to think it's BM.

The 1st step towards a better game is firing Mike Donais! We had enough of his "skillful" balances!

It is a nice gesture when the opponent made at least something in the game to deserve a "Well Played", but here his opponent didn't stand any chance against him, played only 3 cards and just attacked face and killed a 1/1. This is obviously BMing.

I don't agree. The loser should say Well Played, then the winner can respond. If the winner initiates, the loser can feel like the opponent is mocking him. I'm not saying everyone will feel that, I'm just saying what I believe is proper etiquette.

So if you want to show good sportmanship and want to wish your opponent a good game when you win a game which you dominated, regardless if your opponent did play well or not, which emote are you using? And that is the point. We don't have a gg emote. But since their are many people who wants to show good sportmanship this spot must be taken and the only emote which comes close to gg is "well played", since it is a game related emote, which is mainly used in a good way. Greeting on the other hand is obvious BM. So when we have already an obvious emote for BM and another emote, which could also be seen as good sportmanship, why would someone choose the second one if he wants to BM. Furthermore, in many situations it wouldn't really make sense. The only way to BM with "well played" is to use it ironical. This again makes only sense if your opponent made obvious mistakes and often you win a game without a big mistake from your opponent. In the video of OP the opponent didn't had any chance it is was not his fault. So "well played" as irony wouldn't make any sense.
Considering this it makes totally sense to use it as good sportmanship and from my experience many people are seeing it in the same way. It is also not the first time that this topic is discussed here. I am definitely not the only one with this point of view.

Emotes have been so misused than now using any will always be considered BM.

But it might be in a wrong forum, Streams and Videos would be my guess.

I checked there, apparently that's only for content creators. Like, a place to make yourself known.

*Tuskarr Totemic summoning the self-healing totem.

There is no vitality totem in standard.

Edit: Nvm, its wild. Nobody cares about wild anyway -_-

how can ppl think that the OP is serious...

anyways sick plays! ;p

I don't see anyone thinking that OP is serious, only people thinking that others think that OP is serious, like you... ;)

You are, as usual, and guess what? You're the only one feeling the need to answer.

WTF, what?

Quote from noregrets999 >>

Its funny how weak some people are... making all the comments to bring the OP down... funny shit, not to mention its should have been obvious hes being sarcastic...

I don't really have any desire to bring the OP down, drawing the nuts and winning in a super-quick fashion is something that always makes me chuckle (on either the winning or losing end). The main part about these posts that irks me is that titles like "Hearthstone is a game of skill" perpetuate an idea that winning a lot of games in Hearthstone always equates to winning pure coinflips.

It's not really OP's fault individually, but I think developing focus on legitimately good plays is just a more positive use of time. Thijs did an analysis of his games against Iner and there's actually quite a bit of depth to WHY he made the decisions he did, and ultimately why he's a recurring regional champion.

If we boiled MTG down to a game of who gets mana screwed and who doesn't, the skill perception for that game would also be in the tank.
