i don't get why anyone gets mad at others winning. I accepted a friend request from someone I beat and the guy said "I hope u die with ur easy netdeck loser". Why? Its not my fault I won I was only playing the game but he might have been mad at the roping due to disconnecting but even then I would watch something while waiting.
Cause it's a children's card game played by children. Just look at this forum. People get mad about you playing any deck in the game, they get mad if you do any emotes, they get mad if you spend your turn thinking, they get mad if you get lucky, if you topdeck, and they get really mad if you take their blankey.
i get salty when opponent top decks like 4 turns in a row and wins when i outplayed them the entire time. i have never added someone and cried, though i have received a lot of them
i've noticed its the people who net deck and then lose to a deck of my own creation who get salty more often. maybe you should play around cards and not just try and go face all day or play a boring priest deck thats 60% removal and very few minions
Because we are human. If you don't get salty, you are not human. Let be real, regardless Hearthstone or whatever game you play or even whatever business you have in life, you will get salty at one point.
The key is whether you could do salt management or not. Handle it well, and you should be fine.
Nah, I rarely get salty. Very rarely, and only if I've had a bad day in general. Otherwise, I just play the game to be entertained and to kill some time. I really don't care whether I win or lose in a card game. If I had something at stake, maybe, but I don't so...
I get salty all the time over the way this game appels to the uninformed new comer.. this used to be a skill based game now it is just a highrole game, like a generation two slot machine... if you want to win play a tier 1 deck and grind not learn to play just netdeck and grind... i understand fully how somebody trying to make his own decks or try to run some more interesting combos will get frustrated over this game... though flaming is pity behavior... even if you are mad just type "gg" and move on
Because people get emotionally invested in things they enjoy?
This is a very good answer, but it's not always true. I enjoy walking around the lake which is near my house, for example. But I am not emotionally invested in it at all. Same with HS: I enjoy playing it, but I don't think about it when I am not playing it; it's just a game to pass time. Therefore, I am not emotionally invested in it. I do understand that some people are though.

I think the big difference between enjoying a walk (among many) is probably the competitive nature of the game. Some people are wired more competitively than others and just don't know how to handle it. Some know they have a temper but have good practices for dealing with it. Not to paint with too broad of a brush, but I feel like most people in their teens and 20s just weren't raised very well TBH.
We hold on to the notion that skill ought to be rewarded more frequently than luck, and that a deck played with more difficult but correctly made decisions be rewarded more frequently than a deck with fewer and more simpler AND wrongly made decisions.
So when that often doesn't happen, yeah we get a little mad about it.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
It's not just being competitive that influences it. I get pretty salty playing HS (which is why I mostly watch it now) - but I can play a game like chess or even MTG all day without a drop of it. While both MTG and Chess have elements of luck (depending on how you define it), HS is a different beast altogether.
The difference is for me (and many people) the irreconcilable connection between Strategy and RNG, and how closely it is intertwined in HS. Shaman (and now mage) especially has always been almost unplayable for me, as you have immense RNG right down to the hero power. Some people can laugh at the RNG, some people don't care, but for other people it is maddening to have chaos and control blended so deeply together, wrapped up in a game.

you're right, but there is no game in the world without netdecking and tier, is part of the RPG culture...

I wonder if people feel this same way in WoW? I mean...every single shot (I mained hunter waaay back in the day before I quit) or auto attack...really most any attack for that matter has the chance to low roll. You could perform your very best several times and have varying results.
Because unfair mechanisms like Quest Rogue, Jade Idol, Rogue and Druid draw 10 more cards with Auctioneer etc etc. Not the other players fault, it's Blizzard who put shit stuff like that in the game.
The issue is with blizzard, they make to many cards that pushes for 1 type of play, very simple minded deck building and on top of that they use the rarity not only to make a lot of cash but also to push new people towards certain decks, like fx jade decks... they are super cheap super easy super effektiv and the deck is super boring and straight forward aswell.. still it is a highly pushed deck by blizzard...

Guess that explains why you are here.
Honestly op, people are people and everyone has different reasons for getting angry. It's just the way people act when they are competitive. Personally, I just turn off the game and blame the designers for shit that pisses me of. Like who at Blizzard thought rotating Ice Lance and keeping Ice Block was a good idea? Pirate warrior? Just fire the guy behind that, no one will miss him
I can undrstand people hate aggro, hate filling the deck with tech cards, hate the meta, hate the pricing, but i really don't know why they hate so much the RNG. I mean, RNG is a big part of HS since day 1, if they can't stand it, why don't they change game? after 20+ years of MTG i think that HS is still a good, fresh and funny game. I'm super happy about Un'Goro because i'm a player that love to diversify game experience, my decks of choice in ladder are mostly mid-range but i play also aggro and control. I don't like when a 13yo guy tells me i'm brainless cause i run WaterPirate warrior (sometimes i do), i want play in ladder, i don't have time to run only control deck. Can you imagine a Meta made only by control decks? I can, is the reason why i left MTG: you partecipate to a tournament and face only the same two control decks. Thanks god there is HS, is cheap, you can play FTP (i bought just 140 packs since the closed beta and i have all the cards i need to play).
Conclusion: i really don't understand why people is so salty, is not just commitment or passion, people on the community are able to insult eachothers also for misspelling and tiping errors, like every place of discussion on internet, so the problem are people. come on they hate Ben Brode! how can you hate Ben? is like hating Pandas...

You're free to link any post of mine being salty about any of those things. I can save you the time, you won't find any.
Meanwhile you're complaining about ice block. You're saying im the hypocrite when you're openly complaining about deck types?
i don't get why anyone gets mad at others winning. I accepted a friend request from someone I beat and the guy said "I hope u die with ur easy netdeck loser". Why?

I play high, very hard to get upset that way

When people won it's beacuse they're pro players, when people lose then it's bad luck. All of this in a game that is 60% (or even more) based on RNG.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
