Sick of people saying "Well Played" 20 times before ending their turn, just to realize I can evade lethal 2-3 turns, and then kill them.
I suppose it makes the victory sweeter... but for a game without chat this is probably the most BM thing I encounter (besides not finishing when you have lethal).

The funny thing is, I was testing our my beginners Priest deck in some casual play, Only then to realise straight after since my Priest MMR is so high I would be matched up against people with decks above 10k+ dust my poor little 500 dust deck x.c
Anyway I get matched against a druid who spams the Well Played throughout the match, as he played his countless legendarily none the less my well build 500 dust deck beat his 10k+ Druid deck.
Just try to imagine the person sitting over their computer spamming the well-played button and laughing like a crazed manic and then try to imagine their reaction once you do fatal damage to their face - Pretty good feeling imo.
Hmm I thought you meant people thinking there is no way out and GG'ing instead of pressing on.
I've conducted a study and found the longer I play Hearthstone the more likely I am to Squelch an opponent before the match ends. Greeting and Well Played's at the appropriate times is found to lower my rate of Squelching whereas Threaten and Sorry is found to increase the Squelch rate.
i spam "well played" and "sorry" all the time, and i dont care what my opponent think lol

LOL - like for real?
Its actually pretty patronising and even though you cannot be banned in hearthstone, In league of legend (The game I originate from) saying Easy at the end of a match is a bannable offence, I personally don't care but many people find it demoralising

I posted a rough emote translation guide on reddit yesterday:
Greetings: (1) Hello, (2) Did you forget to click end turn?, (3) I have ADD and/or am a huge asshole.
Well Played: (1) Good game {game over/about to end}, (2) Holy fuck that was some RNG, (3) that completely obvious play looks like it's shifted the advantage to you, (4) that was a genuinely good play, well done, (5) you made a mistake and I'm a huge asshole.
Sorry: (1) Apologies for me being alt tabbed, AFK or unnecessarily slow, (2) that was some terrible RNG for you, (3) you would surely have won if I didn't topdeck Leeroy, (4) I'm a huge asshole.
Thanks: (1) {after Well Played from opponent during game} Thank you, (2) {after taking your stuff or after Well Played at end of the game} I'm a huge asshole.
Oops: (1) Darn, I made a dumb error, (2) you made an error and I'm a huge asshole.
Threaten: (1) we're friends and it's cool for me to threaten you, (2) I'm a huge asshole.

Players like you are the reason for 'Squelch'. Too bad non of your opponents even see your BM, as they'll hit that as soon as you start spamming.

I don't mean to flame you, I'm just curious: What's the point in spamming these emotes? I'm not bothered by it, so far I just don't understand why someone would do that.
I dont care honestly, when it over, its GG, but I cant say GG so it well played. Chat boxes are a bad idea cause then you get flaming and taunting going on.
Actually saying Easy is not a bannable offense in LoL. It violates no TOS, while may be in poor taste or disrespectful, I know no one who has gotten banned or even warned for saying easy in post game chat.

so what your saying is that anyone who emote more than once is an asshole....gee seems like people who think that people who emote more than once are assholes.

I think he was just listing possible things a person might mean from an emote, not that (2) or (3) means that it is the 2nd or third time they emoted.
I am all for using emotes. I regularly use "Hello" and "Well Played" at the start and end of a game, to me it shows courtesy and good sportsmanship. At times I get annoyed by people who spam them or use them sarcastically (particularly "Thanks" and "Sorry"), it's just not respectful. But hey, its the internet, why would I expect people to treat each other like human beings?
As stated above I just enjoy crushing them all the more (and imagine their rage face after I've squelched them).
I have actually used the 'well played' emote to a win once, as my only out was to hope my opponent make a mistake and attack into an explosive trap in the wrong order. I made a play of trading off a few minions (unnecessary if I had the trap), going into the tank for a bit, mousing over his minions as if adding up then passing the turn and offering the 'well played' emote. He took the bait and swung in, losing his board and leaving me to crack back for lethal
If you outplay me and win you should be able to gg, what the fun in playing a game and if you win you cant ggwp. I would rather get a well played than "OMFG you noob uninstall please you are so bad"(hence why there is no need for chat boxes). I dont know I guess I grew up in the Xbox live days and WoW days and LoL days when flaming and trolling are common place in the game so maybe something ambiguous as well played doesn't bother me one way or another.
In all honesty I couldn't care less about premature GG's and what so ever. People act differently under a competitive atmosphere, and I'd rather have a diversed playbase than a monotone one. You also have to take into consideration that the emotes is the only direct interaction you have with your opponent. I'd rather take a misplaced Well Played over the threats that would have been written if there was an in-game chat system.
But what annoys me more is when people add me to their friendlist, just to trashtalk me or tell me how lucky I got with my draws. Fun fact is that 100% of those people played aggro warlock.
Thanks: (1) {after Well Played from opponent during game} Thank you, (2) {after taking your stuff or after Well Played at end of the game} I'm a huge asshole.
Oops: (1) Darn, I made a dumb error, (2) you made an error and I'm a huge asshole.
In my case "Thank you, (2) {after Well Played at end of the game}" means "sorry, you didn't play well" I might also just not emote anything in this cases, it depends whether you did something annoying or not.
I won't "Well Played" someone who didn't. They might have had a bad draw, made a ton of mistakes or simply couldn't deal with the deck I had, I don't care, they didn't play well. Specially if you lost by turn 7 ( I don't run rush decks), which in fact sounds like the troll thing to do. I only "Well Played" opponents who beat me or lose to me having played, at least, a decent match.
Oops: If you made a mistake, i'll note it to you, simply because you might have not realized. Saying "Thanks" in these cases is the troll move.
Does this bother anyone else?
