I dislike the lack of grace among players. I keep seeing people who bm the entire game or add you after a loss or even a win to swear, then remove you from their list to run away. I mean, this isn't even me being salty, but can't we just have a pleasant game with no ill will regardless of who wins or loses? When I see this kind of behavior, it doesn't even make me mad, just kinda sad. It's no wonder many people dont accept my friend requests. They probably think I'm gonna gloat or whine.

Sorry if I've denied your friend request for the exact reason you've mentioned.
For the most part the thing that drives me the most nuts with the community is how often people will make flawed arguments for the sake of not being wrong on a certain topic. I know there's a thread floating around regarding the always-popular theory that Blizzard is skewing ladder games for the sake of keeping people as close to a 50% winrate as possible... and it's kind of just insane to see how people are really coming to that conclusion.
That being said, the community is also full of people who don't generally fall into that trap and I love it. Even if you don't agree with them you can still at least discuss things rationally, and when it comes to stuff where opinions are split pretty heavily I think it helps emphasize both sides of the argument; I'd like to think this also helps when it comes to feedback for Blizzard, but I don't really know if they're perusing Hearthpwn as much as something like Reddit.

I genuinely like most of the community here and there is a lot the community does well. I do dislike two things so much that often come up when discussing topics that are seemingly controversial.
1) People arent willing to be wrong. There are so many flawed arguments that people will bring up and no one is willing to admit these flaws. This is not unique to the site or hearthstone in general and there are plenty of people who dont fall under this umbrella.
2) Parroting of popular streamers. It seems like people take the word of Krip as the holy law of the land. I like Kripp. I genuinely do. I think he brings up many good points about the game, but whenever he says something in a video and isnt being salty, it is taken as the holy gospel of Hearthstone and it makes no sense to me. There are other streamers with similar influence, but Kripp seems to be the biggest one.
The Hearthstone community (most of it) is mature and helpfull, i've seen games like CoD and heard about LoL community but this is a really nice and interactive one i feel. Sites like this really help with that where people from the Hearthstone community are together and interact with eachother like this
For what i dislike most...
I WILL CRUSH YOU!
Those kinds of Players... If you just play Pirate Warrior or Quest Rogue or whatever, i'm fine with that, you probally have your reasons. But please don't BM while playing a deck like that... That's just called being an asshole...
People who think the game needs to do more to curb BM than it already does. At some point, you have to grow up, accept responsibility for your own emotions and just ignore it. Not every emote is sarcastic, and not every rope is malicious.
People with proven bad track records at evaluating new cards who still act like they know what they are talking about
The general trend to shit on more than half the cards in every new expansion
The constant calls for nerfs based on individual preferences rather than looking at the big picture, including:
Control players who think their playstyle is superior to all others
Aggro players who can't deal with any card that shuts them down
Combo players who think there shouldn't be counters to combo decks since "they are already hard enough to play"

By Hearthstone community, I refer to all the players and people related to Hearthstone anywhere(Hearthpwn, Reddit, etc),
Check out my entry for this week's Card Design Competition. Vote for it if you like it.
mostly general hate on aggro and whining about tier 1 decks
I like watching the cycle of salt with every expansion. It's hilarious how many people are trapped in this cycle.
I dislike know-it-all whiners. I want to give them some cheese with their whine.

I dislike the constant "game is dying" tone. It happens on every game that has a forum dedicated to it, but it still gets old.
the following words:
Cancer
Brainless/braindead
Hmmm, I'd say ropers.

Too many netdeckers, Lack of creativity. Ropers and BM plays.
