how through the course of the game through dragon roars and voones, i ended up with 6 deathwings, in my hand at the end of the game and i didn't get to play a single one of them.
yeah, because of this opinion my friend request rarely gets accepted eventhough i would just say gg, really liked your deck after a well played game. Not healthy for the community. If it's a toxic message, you just remove him, it's not like he threatens your life. But this just shows how bad hs community acts towards each other and proves my point. have a nice day.

facepalm, how would you play more than one?
There was a point when i was at low health and i used the voone to double a Emberscale Drake so i could gain 10 more health, i naturally run one deathwing

Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
A meaningful part of the player population sends a friend request, the spouts some hateful slurs at you, then immediately unfriends. I'm not terribly inclined to invite that nonsense into my life.
I just can't imagine the fear of hearing a bad word being worth risking missing out on someone actually interesting to talk to.
And for the record, I don't delete friends. Except for Kaladin. I did delete him.

Helpful Clarification on Forbidden Topics for Hearthstone Forums:
Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.
The thing about it that has mostly stopped me from accepting them that even if the game was good natured, you were emoting back and forth and there was minimal luck involved in you winning the match and you think "oh why not accept it this time, I don't see any reason why they would be salty and insult me"... Even in those instances, people still will insult you and call you the big gay
I love accepting friend requests. I love when the hate flows through them directly at me, so I can absorb it and become more powerful. Yeah, I might be a sith irl...but so what? Better a powered up sith than a silly boy with a stick
Yes, admittedly, sometimes I friend to #babyRage, but WAY more often, I friend to have a conversation. I though a game was really fun (win OR lose), I really liked their deck, I wanted to say gg and ask what that secret was or what they had in hand.

Far better places to find someone to chat with other than while people are playing a game. You do understand that people are playing not there to chat. Other venues are there for that.
If the opponent adds me within milliseconds of the end of a game that I'd won, then it's a cancer wish. I usually wait a couple of minutes until they are into their next game and then I accept and immediately type out something like "GET REKT LOLOLOL" with an immediate unfriending. This usually follows with a re-request, also within milliseconds of the unfriending. I don't know, I find enjoyment in inflating the supposed saltiness. But who knows. Maybe I missed a hyper person or two who act really quickly and just wanted to say gg?? Nah I don't think so.
But if I lost and they add me, or they add me after a delay, I accept and it's usually a good conversation. I also add people once in a while and it's been working out as well. I believe that the majority accept.
I don't accept friend requests anymore, at all. I used to when I was a relatively new player, but a few people ruined it for me to a point where I simply don't want to anymore.
Now, Shadowrisen has pointed out that the chance for a genuine friend request and the chance to talk to someone nice should be worth the risk of witnessing someone throwing a tantrum.
That is a good point, and I do find such an attitude admirable, but honestly, I struggle to agree with it. Without thinking of anyone specifically, I have seen a lot from players in and out of the game (like here on the forum and the comment section) that doesn't encourage me to try my luck.
First of all, I'll admit upfront I'm not always fun to talk to either, and on some occasions, I do rage quite a bit, certainly more than is healthy. I tend to take things a bit too seriously, and I easily get too invested. So, I know why some wouldn't want to add me either.
Maybe I'm a bit too much of a grumpy old man, but there are quite a few things going on in the Hearthstone community that alienate me. It's players roping their turns simply out of spite, or quit the game and let it end in "your opponent left". It's the BMing, or the emoting that somehow always comes across as smug and snarky. It's the nerf threads, it's the incoherent rambling, the "braindead" insults, the aggressive vocabulary in general, the fanatic downvoting of opinions you disagree with... Again, I don't mean anyone in particular. But I see these things happening rather frequently and they all contribute to me getting a bad feeling when I get a friend request. So I ignore them.
I don't know if "stigma" is the fitting word, but to me, the feature has no point really. It's there to socialize with other players, but big portions of the players I encounter (with exceptions of course) make me say "no" to that. I know I could make a point and actively change something about that, but I'm really not up for it currently.
The real issue is that the 'a recent opponent...' thing is you had no real interaction other than emotes during the game. It wasn't a social situation because you were never able to chat with that person. The emotes do not convey any sort of emotion. If you think they do, that's you inserting your feelings into a perceived emote and the intent behind it.
I will say that I don't accept anymore because 8 out of 10 times, it was a very obvious and angry reaction followed by an immediate unfriending, so you can't respond or defend yourself.
The few times I had a neutral or positive experience is not worth my time. I don't play Hearthstone so I can be insulted by someone. And it's not about shying away from getting my feelings hurt. I simply don't want to encourage or enable that bad behavior.
What would be a nice change and something I would ask of Blizzard is to have the ability to add a friend DURING the gameplay. If you are chatting during the game, you can get a feel of what's going on and then maybe at the end of the game, you won't have this super salty and angry temper tantrum if you accept a friend request.
Though, others may have had better experiences, I don't feel the need to add random people after a game in which they will most likely throw a hissy fit. Now, if it was at the beginning, I might change my mind and who knows, make a hearthstone 'friend' after all.
Accepting friend requests? Rewarding those ignorant fools who have the audacity to think they can be on equal footing with a supreme player like me? Those mongrels should be deleted by life itself let alone be graced with my glorious answers!!
It's funny whrn i add them, if it is after ai lost, almost not problem, but from time to time when i add someone after i won the match, mostly for the 80 gold quest, i didn't event say anithing after he or she accepted the request, and are already insultingme, calling me lucker, rng fiesta, noob, play a real deck, brainless agro, brainless control, etc etc etc, as i said, is not every time i add someone that it happens, but, i happens often enough to talk about it
I friended a fella one time after losing a close game to him that was well played on both sides.
I immediately told him awesome game, hit me up if he ever needed quest help.
He said the same in kind. We talked a bit, and discovered we were both middle-aged new fathers that had limited playing time. We always shoot each other a quick hello when we see each other on.
That's the only super positive experience I've had with a Hearthstone player. Most of us are assholes.
So many replies about how they have had bad experiences about people just screaming at them via text, and honestly it doesn't really bother me at all, i accept any and all friend invites i get, i think it's funny when i beat someone so bad they start yelling at me about how i'm the luckiest person in the world(when i already know for a fact i'm not) or how they have had sexual relations with my mother while my sisters watched. It doesn't bother me at all, mostly because i don't remember them, i have never added someone and had an actual conversation about a game, when i add people i say stuff like "Gg man that was a nice game, can you share your decklist? it seemed really fun" or something like that and i usually get no reply so i just delete them the next day. If i did that's what i would remember because it's a nicer thing.
The real trick is just to leave the invite pending for a day - then add them after they've forgotten who you are.
Done that a few times and that usually works. At least to get a spectate quest done. I never interact unless they say something first. I only get to play an hour a day if I am lucky. I certainly don't want to waste my time getting yelled at for playing a deck that I like.

The two times I've accepted this, I've gotten expletives thrown at me. So uh, never again. This is totally warranted.

I accept... like a day later. By then, if they're pissy, they have long forgotten why, and I get someone to spectate on for quests and shit.
The real trick is just to leave the invite pending for a day - then add them after they've forgotten who you are.
Done that a few times and that usually works. At least to get a spectate quest done. I never interact unless they say something first. I only get to play an hour a day if I am lucky. I certainly don't want to waste my time getting yelled at for playing a deck that I like.
