You win a match. Maybe you played Yogg for a nasty tempo swing. Maybe you topdecked that Fireball you needed. Maybe you stole their Dirty Rat and made it a 96/96 for an OTK.
Suddenly, a blip in the lower-left corner of your screen: A recent opponent would like to be your friend!
But he's not your friend, is he? He doesn't want to BE your friend. In fact, chances are he wants to be the OPPOSITE of your friend and talk about your mother, make wild assumptions about your obesity, and comment on the status of your virginity.
So what do we do? Naturally, we avoid this. We deny the friend request. We say, "I won't subject myself to that type of abuse," and we move on.
But what if there was incentive to accept that request? What if we knew that, no matter what happened, at the very least we'd be able to go to Hearthpwn and share the hilarities of our opponent's saltiness?
If its been a good game, I always tend to request my oponent to be my friend, mainly to comment on the last game on the good plays/random moments. They usually get rejected mind, but it'll be nice to see where this thread leads and if anyone has similar responses.
Idea sounds fun but I don’t think we’re allowed to post chat logs with people’s names in them. I thought it was against forum rules. Might be wrong though!
All I think it would do is encourage the true assholes among us to go play Murloc Pallies, Cubelocks, Big Priests, etc in casual. . . maybe do some emoting and roping, just to see if they can get someone to rage-add them. I think Hearthstone already has enough obnoxious little turds out there, no need to try to breed more :)
I have a completely opposite point of view of this one. For me thats a win win type of situation; either its a cool dude who wants to comment an interesting game or i get to feast on the salty tears of whiny sore losers and follow up on their raging abusive messages with classic heavy hitters such as "ez", "rekt", "nutttt", "git" etc. and get to ruin their day.
After receiving a couple of extremely rude comments lately (I crushed both players pretty handily, think I won one of the games on turn 5) my new philosophy is I will only accept friend requests from players who beat me, and never from ones I've defeated.
If it's been a fun game and I want to add them I only bother when I win as often my opponent will refuse the friend request.
I seem to run into the same opponents in casual. I added two of them recently and chatted about how we play each other "randomly" and how impressed I've been with their decks, etc. It actually worked out well. Of course, you get the odd jerk too. But I can say I now have some online friends for this game that I enjoy chatting with regularly.

Yeah but often it seems they add you, send some sort of abusive message and then immediately unfriend you before you can respond.
This is for those times when they do this, or something similar. I have had positive experiences as well, but a recent interaction exacting the events above led me to create this thread. My objective was not to shame. Original post has been edited to avoid publicizing personal information.

I used to think that way too, so i.e., if I played a game with a custom deck, for instance, if my oponent added me it would be to talk about my deck, I guess.
But just the other day I was surprised after crafting a shaman deck only made of murlocs I went to Wild where I was at rank 25, just to complete the murloc quest, my oponent, a face hunter, after smorcing me, added me and sent me "nice deck, loser", just for unfriend me later. Yeah, a rank 25 face hunter calling me a loser, and I couldn't even answer him.

LOL, I never avoid friend requests, only crybabies do that. Grow up man, some insults here and there from random people on the internet shouldn't affect you.
Also, this is a friendly forum for people all around the world, we don't need this kind of stuff here.

Yes This Frustrates me. Most friend request I make don't get answered. and I'm sure most of it is due to the salty a-hole thing. Peopel used to accept all the time. I think either the problem has gotten worse or people have grown more cautious for some reason.
I do it like this: when someone send me friend request after I won, I wrote down the nick and one hour later I send the friend request.
Easy.

Yeah, I did that though and Now my longest friend is this Salty as F dude. It's pretty funny though he'll come and watch my game and complain about x deck. Man is he salty.

Welcome to that thread.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Rules:
1.) Don't say anything. Opponent must message you first.
2.) Conversation must be in screenshot format.
3.) Names in conversation must be blacked out or removed (Windows Paint would work).
4.) Must share condition of win, i.e., the reason this person is dousing you with NaCl.

I hope this gets some traction. Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to participate.

can't wait for the replies :)
I'm not online, it's just your imagination

isn't there some sort of no name and shame policy here?

Not going to screenshot or public shame.

Most of the time i get the message to go f*ck myself or i should die in cancer..... Not very polite. :(
