Please stop being such a snowflake. It makes me sick because in my life, having to work all kinds of hard awful jobs and being falsely accused of a felony I have never had the luxury of avoiding the ruder sides of people.
Then every so often one of these "the emotes make me sad" threads pop up and it makes me so jealous of what a safe and sheltered life some of you must have had that such a little thing bothers you.
I'm just telling you now it makes you sound like a very privilidged and soft person especially when the solution to whats bothering you is so simple.
I totally agree with you this time, but there is huge possiblity they may not be aware of the shit that surrounds them. Some people live in a world of denial and fantasy created by themselves, they just cannot see reality like a normal person does. I say this because I have met people like that in real life a couple of times. I didn't interact with them just a couple of days, but years, so to be honest, those were tortuos experiences for me, hehe. :P
You have to click a few buttons to mulligan at the start of every game too, you also have to play cards. But clicking twice on a hero portrait to squelch is too much "menial labour"?
I don't think that's an apt comparison. Mulligan requires thought and part of the reason we play game. Auto-squelch does not and can be an automated action. It's just a QOL improvement.

You're right it's not an apt comparison. Squelching is even EASIER than mulliganing. If it's such a pressing issue, why do tilted players waste time complaining on forums that someone should do something about it when they could be learning to code their own auto-squelch program? You people are the reason they won't put an actual text chat box in the game and why they put some crap sticker emotes the devs drew in Battlegrounds. You'd literally complain about being tilted during an auto-battler mode.
There is a mental aspect to every game, sport, relationship, war, etc.
In Hearthstone, your turn only last so many seconds. When those seconds are wasted on being mind-fuqued by your opponent, your opponent gains an advantage. It is the equivalent of professional athletes who trash talk their opponents.
I can almost assure you that at some point, this slight advantage which you have allowed your opponent has cost you a game (possibly more than one).
I'm so conditioned to auto-squelching instantly that that one time when the game crashed when you squelched I just kept doing it anyway and I had to stop playing for a while because I kept crashing my games.
Squelch is the way to go. Think about it. It's the ultimate answer. They distract themselves from the game by emoting. You are completely deaf to it and so you can focus on your gameplay.

Most kids in here are under the age of 25, don't work a full time job yet, and/or didn't experience the merciless Real world, staying in mum's nice warm house / nest and ordering daily Pizza to accompany them to their daily 10 hours Nerdstone grinding sessions.
On a different note: I just want Blizzard to add the damn feature so that its actually visible for your opponent once he gets muted, making it crystalclear that you are not interested nor do you care about the Random number generator outcome in that particular match, that is pretty much equal of rolling a Dice every time.
The only sane thing in Hearthstone, since it doesn't require any Skill, is to be neither happy nor unhappy with a win/lose, afterall the outcome and matchups you face are mostly entirely RNG and luck dependant. No such thing as malicious joy for your opponent to lose or being happy to win a particular game should be tolerated on a rational level.
So yes, basically what I wanna say is, showing emotions of ANY sorts in cardgames such as Hearthstone is illogical, immature and plain retarded, its like playing "roll a dice" with your buddy and you get the higher number and laugh at him.

As a LoL player, I will never cease to be amazed how fragile some hearthstone players are where just spamming, "Justice demands retribition" at them will really get under their skin.
For crying out loud I have read posts where people get offended when someone says well played at the end yo them. Please. Grow. Some. Skin.

To be fair getting stomped in LoL most likely means you were just outclassed by a better player, losing in Hearthstone on the other hand is just bad RNG almost Ten out of Ten times. Laughing at somebody for losing in such an scenario or calling him skill-less just has a entirely different meaning in a cardgame that just goes randomly either way.
So I can totally see why one would get more sensitive and double as pissed here, in fact I do too.
I tend to play better when someone emotes. Like it makes me more focused. I've won a few games from bad positions that I probably would have misplayed on normally or given up on, but my desire to turn the tables got me to thread the needle and find the best plays.
I had a wonderful experience this morning before work.
I was playing Shaman in casual to complete a quest. I faced a fully loaded Dragon Hunter. This was the full blown Tier 1 meta deck. In casual. But I digress.
So anyway, at the very start of the game the Hunter is emoting me. "Greetings, greetings, greetings". After every single play I make, I get a "that didn't quite hit the mark".
I'm playing highlander Shaman, so a few of the early turns I played nothing at all. Those were rewarded with "I will hunt you down".
So I didn't squelch him. I just played. I controlled, I cleared, I healed.
Then, I threw down Zephrys. He conceded, but not before I got off the one and only emote from my side during the game:
Does that mean we should all have to deal with ***holes every second of every game we play?
F*** NO!
Context matters. If someone wants to play a game to unwind, relax from miscellaneous BS they've had to deal with in the rest of their life, what's the problem with that? None. There is no problem with that. Clearly Blizzard agrees at least 95% with me, since they've limited HS to emotes and not full text, and they've added the ability to squelch emotes. Only thing which is missing is a box to tick in the menu to auto-squealch everyone, and yeah, of course it should be added, and of course it's silly that they haven't done it before now. Letting folks decide for themselves what they do and don't want to deal with is the height of freedom.
Anyone saying someone should have to deal with rudeness to play a game? You're an ***hole, go **** yourself.
It's not the end of society because folks can decide how much or how little they want to interact with an opponent in a digital card game we're all playing for fun.
I simply ignore it, only muting someone after repeated emoting in row. For me it's way worse when you oponent drags turn on purpose, so the game takes forever.
Also, imagine if this game would have text chat, this would be some serious salty toxic hell.

Better yet, make video chat and headset an requirement for play, that would be some truly sadistic stuff. Imagine getting forced to deal with the mischievous face of an Face Hunter player laughing at you and calling "ez clap, noob" for not having Heal in deck (like who needs that in any other matchups?) and not being able to answer your inevitable end on turn 5.

Glad to hear people get upset when I do that. Makes me happy.

Congrats, you are the whole reason why there is no chat function in the game, you and the people upvoting this behavior.

Oh and thank you XD. Just saw that after I posted haha.. (I thought this was a new wawa emotes thread)

What one do you use and how can I do this?
This is rich coming from an intentional roper. Maybe you should take your own advice.
Mute is the first thing in the match I do, and have been doing for 5 years.
Dibbity don't touch that!
