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 have to wonder about the mental fortitude of some players, no wonder many can't apply themselves and play a deck that isn't just ripped from the internet. 

This has reminded me that one player actually blew up at me yesterday because I emoted Well Played (once) at the end of a game. He added me after to ask me why I "BM'd", called me names and told me I only won by luck. Then he unfriended right away. Unstable people venting their frustrations on character voicelines. It won't be long until these players are making the excuse that because they forgot to squelch it tilted them for the next game and affected their performance.

 I say well played after every game once. I feel like its the polite thing to do. Like shaking hands afterwards. Your right, it more than likely threw off any following match for that guy, funny stuff tbh.

A) this is not just an RNG game. Statistics can easily prove that, but if you want to pretend it's an RNG game and thus never look for where you are weak (instead blaming it on RNG) then by all means, continue as before. 

B) They're right, grow some skin. 

C) I usually just get in an emote war if someone is stupidly emoting me, since people who do that project that the emotes can control the other people, this is usually because they are controllable too. Emotes ironically are highly effective against an over emoter. So you can look at this as a tell. 

D) often it's just a pleasant well played or greeting. It's honestly kind of funny what a negative mind set some people can get into.

E)And to some people they've well played emoted before they've really won. This is a sign of someone who gives up easily and rarely plays through a whole game. This is often the person that thinks the game is totally based on RNG, and "best" decks, because in their mind the outcome is already decided. In these "already decided" games (where I haven't also decided that there are no outs whatsoever) My win rate is about 40%. Knowing your outs in every situation can dramatically increase your win rate.

 Thats what i do. I used to play a lot of SC2 back in the days, and gl, hf at the begging and gg at the end, was basic manners.

Tbh i don't really care if other think its bm from my side, i would say its rather their problem with treating everybody like bm dicks.

of course, you can easily see when some one is bm you spamming hello, and so on, that is when i use squelch. But hello at the begging and well played at the end i would never consider as a bm.

Can't say I've seen it happen more often. Then again, if someone starts emoting more than once I just squelch them right away so there's that. 

Then again, there's one kind of player that will ALWAYS abuse the emotes and that's druids using a Lunara skin. Since it came out, I haven't played a single match against one of them in which they wouldn't emote spam from beginning to end (until I got tired of it and squelched them). But for other players, I think it's just about average.

Also, imagine if this game would have text chat, this would be some serious salty toxic hell.

 If crybabies just turned the feature off or muted then it wouldn't be a problem. As long as they complain about getting tilted and over-react people will get the same buzz from shit-talking them during games.

I don't know why, but that's so true, at least in my case (Lunara is one of my favorite skins, hehe :P).

"I appreciate your efforts." XD
