It's a troll people, don't overthink this. This is why the 50 response 'achievement' should be removed. Look at his account, he is missing the majority of low-hanging gold cups apparently due to sheer stupidity or laziness.
It doesn't bother me too much because ragers are often kinda funny, but I think ppl here missed the op's point. It's just selfish and disrespectful to just close the app and leave the winner watching rope burn for 2-3 turns until the server finally kicks out the leaver. It also tends to happen only when you get a really lucky landslide victory.
So I will chime in again since I haven't said anything since posting...
Honestly, it is a d-bag move to do it. I played MTG for years and was even a judge for the DCI for a while. If someone is honestly thinking and trying to figure out the best strategy for their turn, I can understand that. I wouldn't want to hurt those players. But when someone was obviously losing and they took forever flipping between two lands in their hand and acting like a profession poker player just to get under the skin of their opponent, it's a waste of time.
But the people that purposefully just leave a game when they know they've lost and just want to irritate people, that is just dumb.
And I like I said before, having connectivity issues is one thing, and it should be the exception. But the rule it seems is that when people rage quit or leave because they don't want to just hit concede, it takes the fun away from the game. And that is the purpose of a game in the first place, to have fun.
It's just my opinion. Everyone has axes they want to grind and pet peeves that they want changed, this is just mine.
I also have issues with people that don't say hi back, because they feel they are dis-advantaged in the match, and then they meme crap back if they are going to win, then they deserve to sit there longer. So basically they are dickheads first.
You must be spoiled with good internet. Where I live - and it's this way for a lot of people - DC's happen very frequently, due to terrible internet coverage, and there's nothing you can do about it. I'd be shocked if the number of people maliciously leaving matches represented even a third of all DC's. You can enforce those rules for more serious console games, but for something like HS, where people play on their phones on the train and stuff, you shouldn't punish DC's. Quit whining and be patient; if they DC, it only takes like an extra minute to beat them, compared to if they just concede.
Sometimes i rage leave in the middle of the stupid 10 min shudder combo
Why not just concede?
Because if you play a combo designed to waste someone's time, you deserve to have your time wasted. And if it saves someone else from having to sit through that, even better.
A main reason for "Your Opponent Left" Is they are mobile players and had to take a call or ran out of battery. The other main reason is they were playing one match, see that they've lost and are done playing. Why concede --> close game when you can just close game?
If they wanted to address a problem like this it would be to penalize the players who intentionally wait until the end of the turn each round to try and get you to quit out of frustration. You think waiting one turn is bad ? Wait until you get a match against some idiot who you realize is trying to get legend by annoying people to death so you play a (literally) hour long match against them. That DOES take the fun out of the game. And is beyond poor sportsmanship.

I ran into this the other day in fact! They were playing Odd Paladin and I had Odd Warrior. After turn 3 I kept clearing out the recruits and from that point until I won he waited through the burning rope each time. What a dirtbag!
Who are you to be so arrogant as to think I owe you a concession you have failed to earn? The concession is mine to give and withhold as I see fit. Perhaps consider growing up and figuring out the world does not revolve around you.

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
If opponent has some super-lucky draws or topdeck bullshit every turn and I also need to to stop playing HS soon due some reason, I always leave match without conceding to let this lucker waste few more minutes of his life. Nothing wrong here.

I've never really tried to get the achievements. I just get them when something happens.
I also have issues with people that don't say hi back, because they feel they are dis-advantaged in the match, and then they meme crap back if they are going to win, then they deserve to sit there longer. So basically they are dickheads first.

I earn free Hearthstone packs with swagbucks! https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Smartmoney
I love it when they leave. I assume my weak minded opponent rage quite the game and imagine them deleting hearthstone out of extreme baby rage

Is this Kripp's account on Hearthpwn? Salty for winning? LUL.
I do this sometimes. Usually it's because some bullshit happened or I was playing against Big Priest. Why so salty?
Blizzard should fix this if some one do alt f4 or press quit must be like concede
So how about this. Instead of penalizing the jerk players, why not reward those that are playing the game... like give them an extra star rank?
Stop it.
Get some help....
