Ok guys here is the deal. This guy added me on Hearthstone.When people add me they usually call my mom names and wish me a few bad things but it's the internet and i get it sometimes people get angry and say things they don't mean but this time things got serious.My Hearthstone name sounds Greek so this guys managed to guess i am from Greece and then he said "i would commit suicide if i was greek tbh". This kind of toxicity and urging people to commit suicide is unacceptable.I struggle with mental issues myself and didn't expect to say this but i am triggered.Already opened a ticket.Have you guys ever faced such toxicity?
Edit_1 : What makes me sad is that people miss the point and go "You shouldn't have accepted his friend request in the first place and you had it coming" . Ok fair enough but it i still believe that you can make friends though Hearthstone and gaming in general and that's why i still accept friend invites.I don't know irl most of the people on my friends list and still we had some great together playing Hearthstone.Besides that though i have my own opinion on why suicide is wrong and but what if tomorrow there's another guy/gal in my shoes? Will you go "Aw well he/she had it coming because he/she accepted a friend request in a game that can be played with FRIENDS" ? Words might hurt someone out there.
Edit_2 : Submitting a second screenshot of the things he sent me while i was afk on Hearthstone.
"Edgy quote about being too smart and suffering for it" - Literally who - 1890 Yes I am better than you, my signature implies it. Annoying Random colours.
Buddy i tried staying cool during the whole convo.I was like "Ok it's a random internet troll, will just play it cool and will leave me alone".I even got the whole conversation to support this.In the end even if i was provoking him it doesn't justify urging people to commit suicide.
Man it is just an internet trash talk and you decided to participate in it by yourself. Relax and do not accept friend requests from beaten opponents anymore.

If you thought he was a troll why didn't you remove him, seems like baiting. Really poor show here OP.

The best thing you can do (honestly) is report them. Trust me, this does work.
When multiple people report a person for flaming etc, Blizzard take notice and start squelching their account for ever increasing periods of time. It doubles each time.
So they wont lose their account, but they wont be able to speak to ANYONE through Battle net. Not existing friends, not anyone.
And they cant make friend requests either. Slapping a gag on people is the best punishment there is for flamers.
I feel sorry for you, but no, I never had something like this. But I also don't accept invites anymore.
I had a few instances when people would just want to insult me or started REALLY dumb converstions, and after that I would never accept "friend requests" again. I remember one opponent who kept sending me his request again and again whenever I declined. I'm sure he had something very important to say. Eventually, I just ignored it and then declined after a day had passed.
Hearthstone is FULL of people who are nothing but miserable shitheads, just like most places on the internet. As if the constant emoting and roping wouldn't be a giveaway.
It's not much of a comfort, but better learn your lesson and stay away from "friend" requests in the future, unless you want to believe that one genuinely nice guy is worth the dozens of people who get off on verbal abuse.

If you have enough clarity to write this the. You aren’t mental at all. Nobody is banning his account and if you can’t take what you know is coming don’t hit the green check mark. This is the wrong place to loo. For sympathy. It’s a game get over yourself.

This doesn’t work for people who actually have real friends, but hey if it makes you feel bette.

I'm really not aware of what you mean by this, tbh. If it's real friends that are causing you an issue, then reporting them in Hearthstone probably won't help, no.

A game that is based on friendly matches and this is the response you get from random people who play the game.? This is a pretty sick community in general that participates in all of blizzards games. Hence my former advice to you: don’t come here for sympathy. This game is played by utter geniuses who are so smart they managed to convince their parents to support them their whole lives and do nothing but play blizzard games. You have to have loads of time on your hands to sit and play WoW all day and to be an F2P in this game requires tons of time as well. When your time isn’t worth shit that’s what you do. These people hate themselves and hate their lives. There is nothing more devastating to a super genius than beating him at the game he spends his entire day playing and still sucks at. Why do you think these people say what they say? Guys like me who play this game on $1300 iPhones and iPads while we shit at work making thousands a week just laugh. You have to put shit in perspective and realize who you are dealing with. At the end of the day when I go home, kiss my beautiful wife, ride bikes with my kids and play with my awesome dogs I don’t give a shit about hearthstone or anyone who plays it. Take my advice and do the same thing. Hearthstone is a solo time waster and nothing more beyond that.
By the way i kept the guy on my friends list to see if Blizzard is going to take any action after my ticket and while i was on the forums ignoring him he kept on sending me a few things.The last thing i asked him by the way was "Have you ever known anyone that made an attempt to commit suicide?". I submit a screenshot.

I don’t accept friend invites from people I don’t know, so no.
Seems like you were egging him on tbh.
You added a random beaten opponent and he insulted you? If only you could predict that and didn't add him to your friend list...

He added me!
If you thought he was a troll why didn't you remove him, seems like baiting. Really poor show here OP.
I thought you have to confirm request from your side anyway, am i wrong?
First day in hs, ha?
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.

Also, we dont allow naming and shaming on the forums here I’m afraid as it starts witch hunts.
Instead of locking your thread I have just removed the image. Feel free to upload one that has the names removed.
Thanks! :-)
