No it's definitely not a normal behavior and even if i do understand the frustration some people experience about PW it is by far an excuse to act like a total buffoon and insult people for playing a deck they don't like or even hate. Also everyone that supports this kind of behavior on this forum or anywhere else for that matter should rethink their moral views. I for one don't like PW and even tho i do get salty about it i would never allow myself to get into a position to insult someone that does something i wouldn't do especially if what he or she is doing is not wrong by any means. So don't even question this at all and everyone that says this behavior is normal just proves how insane they are and are probably the same people that do the same thing

No one said you should act like it but it's perfectly normal in Hearthstone to expect the kind of response the OP mentioned if you make or accept a friend request immediately after a game. This is why I leave a cooling off period before accepting.

This is absolutely and totally normal, even logic. Sorry dude, or not 

 How is that logic to treat people like criminals just because they enjoy to play simple archetype?

 Lie, people don't enjoy to play pirate warrior. They just want to win fast and easily that's it. Watch the game, all (original) cards and archetypes that exist, don't tell me pw is an enjoyable deck to play please 

Sure it is enjoyable for some people. Not everyone like chess-like control decks with half an hour games, If you don't think so, then you should switch off your tunnel vision for a while.

Hearthstone has such a high variance curve and a great deal of netdecking, so everything feels the same after awhile. People grow tired of seeing and getting beat by the same cards over and over again on ladder. If you play a deck people dislike, then prepare for emoting, roping, insults, etc. You are well within your rights to squelch or just not add opponents, just as your opponents are within their rights to complain or do whatever else is given to them by the game. Complaints questioning toxicity are just as useless as toxic comments and in the end, neither the "toxic" player nor the "victim" player will get their 1 in 100,000th opponent to change for a random stranger.

 As I mentioned he topdecked a victory, so he should be more than satisfied, but no, he went full toxic on me, that's what I don't understand.

Basically well-adjusted human beings communicate with one another. Seeing a behavior (spamming emotes) that seems odd to you, and asking the person why they did it, is a natural and common response. When he got attacked, he wondered if this is a normal thing likely because he'd never seen it before.

 I don't have the cards for it but it looks fun to me. Not the kind of deck I'd play too many games in a row of, but a few games in a burst, sure. I also don't see why "I'd prefer to play this other deck" would ever mean "never play this deck", since plenty of people like to switch things up. Maybe your personal opinions don't apply to everyone else?

 How can give you 1/2 Like? :)

Basically every online game of any kind involves well-adjusted humans along with poorly-adjusted postpubertal monkeys inadequate beings, and the latter make the former adjust themselves more. That's why I assume my in-game communications fit the reality perfectly :) Taking my questions were supposed rhetorical & not expressed negatively, hope I helped TS with self-adjustment :D

But I totally appreciate your position in 2nd paragraph despite its difference with mine.

 If you find it worth calling someone a "postpubertal monkey" or even just an "inadequate being", then their behavior is worth criticizing aloud. Consistent statement of "this behavior sucks" from enough people has a strong tendency to make the poorly-adjusted people at first embarrassed (so that they stop doing it publicly), and later on if all goes well, just sometimes, they might stop doing it altogether. =P

When talking to trolls and flamers, being verbally tougher than they are makes It very easy to force them to knock it off.

By the way, some online games have surprisingly pleasant communities, actually. Obviously they still have dirtbags playing them too, but the numbers or ratios aren't the same from game to game. Though I believe I've noticed it tends to correlate with community size; little-played games have nicer communities in many cases. There are exceptions though.
