I have returned to HS proper after spending the last two expansions in only the solo adventure or the new battleground modes. It simply hasn't been fun. However I was excited for the xpac. I pre-purchased and everything. This may be an unpopular opinion but I am having a blast. the meta isn't perfect, it's also, at least to my limited recollection, not nearly half as worse as others.
At any rate I play a lot of different decks but my personal favorites Tree Druid, Big Dragon Druid, and pretty much any mage deck. This is relevant only in that maybe someone can tell me if it's the specific deck type that is causing this? I have been friended and at least 10 times and told "fuck you" or some variation of. Now I am not salty about this, I played league for years so this is baby land frolics. Just concerned. The community was always one of my favorite things about HS. In previous days I might get 10 fried request all season long and at least 50% were pleasant people who wanted to either trade deck ideas or just to say GG.
Has anyone else experienced this or is this just some real life variance?
That's just life. I haven't had a BM friend request in ages just a few nice ones recently after good games (with uncommon (funny) decks on both parts) so I guess I'm probably queuing for some BM...
I agree, I feel like the people who play this game aren't as nice anymore for some reason. I used to always get friend requests from people who'd compliment me on a cool deck I made or how well I played or something like 2 years ago, now people just friend you to tell you to kill yourself. I also auto-squelch every opponent when I get in-game because a good half of the people I play against start emoting against you when you start losing when I feel like people didn't ever really do that a lot a while ago. Just sayin that you're not alone in feeling this way

Well it's good to hear that it's likely just variance. Unlucky. But over all a good thing. Didn't want to see things go down the dumps. I am always really surprised when it happens. I don't BM, I abhor it actually, and never try to be "cute" with my plays. So when it happens I assume it's either the deck type that I am using they hate or they are just so fucking entitled they expect me to just lose, on purpose, just cause.
I think many people can't take it any more but still stick to HS. I personally enjoy this expansion a lot. I didn't have my hopes up seeing what big failures Rise of Shadows and Uldum were but I gotta say I'm impressed.
I think these things go through phases, and I think a lot of people are finding the popular decks frustrating and difficult to interact with. Also, I know that as a casual player, those decks are just as popular there as they are on ladder, so it's more difficult to find a place to enjoy yourself if Galakrond Shamans and Rogues or Face Hunters aren't your thing.
Throw in some obnoxious emoting and some roping, and people get enraged. To me, it's understandable - generally, I find, the people that complain about toxic communities and whatnot are the same ones who fuel that fire by queueing up a shaman in casual, waiting on turn 1 until the rope's nearly gone, then playing the Vir'naal battlecry quest.

I think roping does have a lot to do with rage. The two go hand in hand.
OP do you find yourself roping more often than not?
Can not relate. For example I play Wild since the beginning and everyone is always positive, maybe only 1 out of 15 friend adds are some salty pirate warrior/secret mage cunts who are mad that they tryhard and you play awesome decks and win lol, can't not love that 😂😂😂
Merry Xmas my friend and don't even care about this!
P.S. You do not have to accept every friend request, if you expect it to be a salt rage 😂
Considering only a small % of the friend requests I put out actually get accepted it may have a few bad seeds. Shame really, I like friend requesting people after a really good game. Especially if they have a fun deck

I rope very very little. Actually it's one of the reasons I have never really ranked up beyond 5 in the past. I am too impatient and make lots of mistakes cause I play too fast.

Oh I don't care about it on a personal level. Like I said it doesn't phase me personally. My Worry was for the overall community going downhill. Also I am very much aware I don't have to accept requests. I do because like I said usually more than 50% of the time is someone saying GGs and wanting to either compliment my deck or to just talk about how interesting the game we played was. Also up to this point I generally didn't "expect" salt rage. It's just been more prevalent lately. Though it seems like it was just luck of the draw, it has been far less the past few days.
It's always a mixed bag. Some guy playing a pathetic Rogue deck added me to tell me I should die for playing highlander hunter because the deck is old. Then recently some guy added me to ask me where I got that new tree druid skin and he was super nice.

The angry people are the most vocal; they aren't the majority. I'm also enjoying the expansion.

Merry Christmas and spread the peace!
Don't know if it's just a coincidence, but in wild, I have NEVER received a friend request just to be insulted. EVER.
In standard, it happened once or twice.
Eh Quality of content and updates in game = enjoyable gaming experience.
And Blizzard is a fucking joke with both. So yea. Also its a bloody internet if i am not gonna bich on dedicated forum where else i am gonna do it ?
try EU server
NA is rotten
I play on EU - and it’s not really happening for me. I play at 5 - legend. I don’t know if it happens more often at power ranks.
My brother and I both got legend - and he climbed to 316 with it. Check out our guide!
