i was playing a druid mirror, the guy was playing horribly bad. he had a lucky RNG lorewalker cho from a shredder while i had 4 spells on hand so i conceded. i added him after and told him "hey dude learn to play druid pls you did that and that mistake" and he replied "sorry but your deck isnt good it wasnt RNG what do you mean? maybe add more early game" i mean wtf? are people in this game completely autistic? it was obvious that i lost from that RNG lorewalker cho
It sucks that this mentality exists, but I do totally understand it. It's just that sometimes, even after I lose, I just want to talk to the person about how they play, what type of deck(s) they run, etc. I know that's not the norm, but I do wish that sometimes people would accept the request and just be down to talk.
Completely agreed! I never add people to give them my salty feelings, it is always to tell them I loved the deck that were playing or comment on a sick move they made. Hearthstone should be to make friends, not enemies!

Agree with both of these guys here. I rarely get people to accept my requests after a match due to the poison in the community. Really I want to laugh about how I got shit lucky when I won (praise Jeebus!) or vice versa, or to comment on a misplay that they made which would've swung the game in their favour.
But I'm also a hypocrite of that myself. If I faceroll somebody with an aggro or tempo deck and see a friend request lingering on my list, I usually just ignore it. If I'm in the mood for a chuckle, I'll accept and let them empty their rage :)
I made a mistake and selected my Randuin Wrynn Deck instead of Control Priest yesterday. Managed to beat a legend control warrior with it and he added me first thing and abused my entire family. It was downright funny that he was spamming emotes ALL GAME LONG and ended up losing to an RNG deck. Come on, it's Randuin Wrynn, a deck meant for fun and it does win sometimes. Why even get salty? xD

I had someone give me a lecture on how overpowered my deck was when I was playing Randuin, I almost decided to give them a play-by-play account of each mistake they made, but decided it wouldn't make them any less salty.
Played a game last night where I had lethal on my next turn. Opponent had no cards in hand. Drew and played a Gurubashi berserker knowing that this wouldnt stop lethal. I played two extra cards (to kill gurubashi) before hitting him in the face killing him.
After the game he messaged me to complain about my BM. Even after i explained to him i did it for the extra xp he wouldnt have it.
REALLY!?! then you shouldnt have wasted my time playing extra dumb cards that you know wouldnt have stopped me from winning.
Actually when playing with some unusual class from my preference (Priest and Druid for me) which has low XP level I make some BM moves for the sake of getting some extra XP. Nothing personal though.
Was just playing zoo on ladder and this handlock BM'd me all game, then spammed me with friend requests to tell me I was giving his class a bad name, and then abused me.
I believe this kind of behavior is antisocial and very bad for the game and creates a culture of ignoring friend requests. I typically add people when I think they have an interesting deck list or I get a good vibe from them during the game. 90% of the time the initial reaction to the request is pretty frosty as they expect me to abuse them.
It would be great if you could send a message with the Friend request to explain why you are adding to facilitate community rather than creating a culture of simply ignoring friend requests.

That's an interesting idea but there is one issue: it means th eperson gets to fling out a line that you will have to read. Thus you'll get
Friend request reason:
*#()$# your mother and *#)$# your #*%$(*# deck you #*$(#*%$# .
If it's just canned responses in a dropdown list, meanwhile, they'll easily be able to just select whatever works best to get you to open it then fire at you, making the whole thing completely useless.
Myself I've found that time is the biggest factor. I've accepted every single person who friended me...only after a few hours. Once I see 6+ hours that they were waiting, I accept. I've never had anyone speak negatively to me. Turns out folks who rage either calm down or just forget what you did while being too busy raging at the newest person.
Of cours ethis means you give up on after-game chatter, but I think we've lost the ability to do that long ago among strangers. I remember being able to have nice after-game chats Starcraft 1, but gaming wasn't near as open as it is now and Starcraft is FAAAAAAAARRRR from an accessible game. And it was never in a ladder match where we actually cared about winning.
If we want chatter, I think we need to improve how we get together to play, so that you can find friends easier to stick around. Pure strangers need a vetting process.. like that 6 hour delay before a friend request.
I just accept friend request after game 100% of the time (also I make a lot of friend requests myself) and I often get to have a friendly chatter after games. For every one person throwing insults at me I get a hundred who are cool people.
Well, the thing with people playing as many cards as possible before killing you can be explained. I believe you actually earn experience by doing three things, winning, playing cards, and killing enemy minions, so the more of that you do in a match, the more exp you'll get. Though I doubt half the people who bm actually know that. The type of bm that I find annoying is whenever someone feels the need to emote whenever I concede, due to a bad hand.

The exp matter is true. There's also quests that ask for spells to be cast or minions to be played. Also note that some people just like finishing in a flashy way. They aren't so much trying to annoy you as they are just wanting to end things in a flourish. Seeing yourself capable of not only doing the 10 damage you needed but 40 more if it was necessary just feels 'powerful'. Only reason why I don't induldge once in a while is due to seeing some opponents who try mess themselves up due to a misplay.
The emote spam... yeah, that's just getting under your skin. Sort of like singing We Are the Champions after a win, while staring at you while yelling out "no time for LOOOOSERSS..."

Are you spamming "Well played" 3 turns before lethal and using "I greet you" before using your top decked card?
Best way to confront those type of ppl just play full rng shaman and make them look stupid when they comment back :D
I don't add scrubs. I dump and delete.

That's a good suggestion, I think. But it's not the place to make it I'm afraid. Did you also write blizzard?
