I keep spamming the ''well played" and "wow" emotes on the legion of smorc players in casual to show my atmost respect to their single working braincell! :P
As to when i am squelching, i do it only when i tryhard in ranked to get legend as i mostly play hard decks where the slightest of tilt can decrease your chances considerably.
These days I usually auto squelch at the start - sometimes I'll unsquelch if it looks like I'm going to win and if my opponent gives me a Well Played despite losing (even though I've not emoted at all), I'll often reciprocate and add them to my friends list. That's a good sign of a grown up player and well worth having as a friend and chatting to.
I need to get in to the habit of a greetings at the start, giving them a window to reply, then squelching which is more polite. BM during the game is annoying and I'd rather not be distracted by it during my turns.
I always squelch ppl who say greeting emote at the start. they are more prone to emote during the match which can throw my focus away from the plays. I just say hello back and then squelch. if I just lost a match I immediately q into next one and squelch is the first thing I do.
"Throw my focus away from the plays"
Lol what dude
This is Hearthstone you're not esportsing it up in here. That sounds like the tryhards I keep getting in Tavern Brawl or at rank 18 who rope every turn and flick over everything in their hand repeatedly
You don't need focus, you need to chill and play the game.
On a thread related note, I never squelch someone unless they're spamming, which happens maybe .1% of the time.
I have been auto-squelching for a few years now...mostly because of juvenile's who feel the need to taunt you right before they win.
The best way to get even with an immature, arrogant, juvenile-minded player who feels the urge to rub your nose in their good luck is to silence them before they get the chance to gloat. Unfortunately, the decent players get squelched too, but it has to be done.
"just know I have a hole bag of shhhh with your name on it"
The salt in this thread, man.
I say "Well Played" when I have lethal so that they can honorably surrender, it's out of respect not "immature" or "arrogant". If you immediately take it that way, well, sorry to say you may be the one who's immature.
Sometimes. Depends of my mood. I generally do it more against Paladins or Warlocks. Wonder why. I often squelch the opponent tho when I'm losing to avoid any unnecessary emote flood. As for myself I tend to use as few emotes as possible. I sometimes greet back when I'm in a good mood or throw in a "Wow" / "Well played" after a good or surprising play or an intense control match. There's never "Well played" against any aggro decks unless it's some REALLY rare homebrew list.
I don’t. Usually I use greetings at the start of the match, Wow when some amazingly bad or good rng happend for me or my opponent. And well played when I either win or lose.
Whenever an opponent spams emotes I do squelch, until I gain the upper hand in the game, then I unsquelch and start emoting back because fuck ‘em.
If you use Deck Tracker there's an auto-squelch plug-in that is awesome. It takes control of your mouse and squelches for you very briefly at the start of each match.
There is no "auto-squelch". It's manual and you have do it. every. single. fucking. time. If only Blizzard had some sort of capability to program in an option to turn it off permanently, but alas, the technology does not exist. It may never exist.
people are saying that they automatically squelch, manually, regardless of what happens. They don't mean auto squelch as a setting.
Some days I wish there was an auto squelch setting. Kinda over facing Odd Rogue when it has such a high win rate against the deck I'm playing. I auto squelch Rogue atm. Any other class I'll usually do "Greetings" and "Well Played" win or lose.
The real question is why they didnt implement auto squelch option for ages???? Should not be so hard to code. I guess blizz thinks ppl buy more packs when they get salty
Game is frustrating enough already, and the last thing I need is to hear some Odd Paladin giving me a "well played" because he discovered Sunkeeper Tarim, or draws Leeroy on his final turn.
I'm sure most players are fine people, but I had my fill with shitheads giggling their asses off because they got incredibly lucky or because they can stomp me in the ground by going face with everything. I've seen way too many players BMing. Roping before revealing that they indeed have drawn lethal, roping every turn just because they don't like the matchup, spamming emotes, stretching their final turn by doing everything there is to do before finishing me off... And on some days, it's only people like that.
By now, pretty much any emote translates for me to: "Ohoho, look what I got! I've drawn the perfect answer! I'm so totally gonna win this! Ohoho, I'm SO GOOD at this game!". Even the opening "Greetings" so often meant that my oponent had the desired opening hand. Mages with Mana Wyrms and Primordial Glyph, Druids with Wild Growth, any class with a 1-drop and Keleseth... that kind of stuff.
I rarely if ever use emotes. Mostly for "Threaten" because it's the closest the game provides to giving an opponent the middle finger.
I almost never squelch anyone because I never encounter emote spammers, then I will, but a simple greetings, or well played at the start and end of the game is just respect.

I almost always squelch in constructed, and in arena only if they overuse them.
I always 100% of the time will give a "Heh, greetings" when I beat a deck I don't like though, like face hunter or "tempo" mage.

It is too much effort. I just let them jizz into their pants as they spam whatever emote of their choosing .
I would auto squelch if it was just one button and if it had to be pressed just one time for all matches, instead of just applying to one, but eh.
When the weak court death, they find it.

Yes I do. Always.
I rarely emote in the first place but I cringe whenever someone emote spams me. I just ignore it and focus on my plays
I am surprised the "yes" votes are that low. I have been auto-squelching since I started playing this game.
This is exactly my stance and practice as well.

Squelshing automatically.
