if I got them, I'd accept. even if they were just wanting to rage at me tbh. i played a lot of Dark Souls back in the day, so kind of used to that kind of thing. You might even be able to turn it round and make a friend, so it's worth it IMO.
i played mill druid yesterday against fatigue warrior.
Since i rely heavily on Jade Idol to stop fatigue, i was expecting to loose as soon as i realized that he is not on pirates. Well i won in the end and added him to ask if he does not run geist. It was his last card. He laughed. I laughed. It was a good day.
That makes me wonder what happens in a DMH Warrior Mirror match. Does it just run on to the turn limit and end?
I've somehow never seen this mirror match happen...
Before you accept a request, go play another game. By the time you finish your new game, which should be 10~15 minutes, the loser's rage would be calmed.
If he added you for compliment, then good, now you can say ggwp to each other. If he added you to flame, then good, now he is not as salty as he could be 10 mins ago.

i saw a video of some asian tournament where they actually ran out of time and finished in a draw. but you can actually loose by having too many unplayable brawl copies in hand and your opponent milling your DMH with oracles.

I've came to the conclusion that the HS is a pretty nice community. I have yet to run into any flamers playing the game. I have ran into a few dicks on here, but never actually while playing. usually the dicks on here get downvoted into oblivion as well though.
I don't like how "loose" now means "lose" most of the time, and not "loose"; something that is not stuck firmly in place.
I don't think that is the case in most English circles. Only those where spelling is slightly lacking. It could of course be a simple spelling error from someone who's first language is not English.
Like the "There, Their, and They're " type of thing.
I have gotten at ton of 80 gold quest invites from my 100+ random friends. Accept all. Even Salty guy sometimes keeps you, and a month later sends 80g your way. Always reply “LOL GG. Stay friends for quests, dude.”

actually i feel like it depends on the amount of seriousness your opponent has. I had plenty of people tell me to die with my tier-5-trash deck at high ranks. as soon as i hit legend, nobody cares anymore about winning or loosing.
The grind does change ppl
Also, by accepting invites I've met and chatted with ppl otherwise I wouldnt have got to know . It's not just for the quest (although the 80g it's sweet), I like talking to and spectating other players
I think it's definitely worth the risk of being flamed
I personally think its worth the risk. I like sending friend requests to ask about odd tech choices in otherwise established decks (what was that Alexstraza doing in your Deadman's Hand Warrior? How is it working out?), innovative decks, asking what was in their hand at the end, or to make suggestions if they are doing something experimental and I think I've got a better solution for them to try. And I love getting these types of friend requests as well so I find it worth it to tune out the hate to savor the nice ones.
At the same time I have gotten pretty good at quickly typing: "And you lost to it."
One of the self-inflicted things about playing on a phone is that typing isnt very quick - and the app can be slow to respond at times - so often you can accept a request and don't even get the chance to right "Well played" before you get removed again.
It's a case of shrug and carry on most of the time. I send my well wishes when I can and accept the friends who stay to play. :-)
All the time, though it's often easy to tell if they're going to be cool even Before I accept based on howthe game went, tech choices etc. If I trounced them with an off meta deck and they have 100% meta cards it's almost always a salty friend request.
Not always. Some of my good friends have come from friend requests. Although there can be some salt involved every once in a while, I often find it more worth than not to accept friend requests. After all, you can just unfriend them!
I really vary on this. I've recently swung to adding people, as the advent of the social tab allows me to sent abusive threats to Blizz.
1 - One add was a dude that felt it appropriate to wish me cancer as I used a hunter deck in casual, which was purely for questing. I'd have taken it seriously if he wasn't a tempo rogue.
2 - One dude added me after I lost and decided to mock me as I had a fair number of gold cards. Something like "all those golds and you play like crap", I readded him and he expected me to be salty. Far from it, thanked him for the game as he totally nailed me but mentioned his attitude cheapened the fact he was a good player.
3 - my fav one was a dude who played pirate warrior in casual and lost to my meme priest. He then added me to express the view that the loss was an easy one and that my win didn't count. He failed to understand the logic that he should have been out of sight by T6. This was pre-KFT mind when priests weren't all that popular.
I like it when people surprise me but don't expect too much when I accept an add.

The trick is only accept after 10 minutes.

Myself I never accept friend request and when I send one it is only to say how awesome the game was...
Where shall I start...

The last 5 or 6 friends request were people speaking Russian after they've lost.
Only worth if you don't mind reading through horrible insults to your mother / family / health / hearthstone skills and you as a person
Sadly.

Also one of my longest friends came f from a salty request... He still will occasionally share his salt about the game with me from other matchups!
Generally I'll add people for a really cool game or deck, but if I get a request I'll normally wait at least an hour or two to avoid salt

most of the 5-legend players are russian grinders who do not speak an english word.
Best quotes:
"Casual is perfectly fine"
"warlock is not overpowered"
"Playing odd paladin just to test it"
