    Your tone and diction hints of anger, not confusion, despite how you deny it in an attempt to show some degree of resistance. It's meaningless, you are angry and your essay proves it. I'm just gonna say that I understand that anger and it's reasonable. Feels like you can't enjoy hearthstone without meeting toxic people. That much is true. Just note that majority of the hs player base behave like nasty teenagers and there's no real way to change that. Also note that the dude didn't meant what he said obviously, and he's venting because reasons: boredom, saltiness, frustration, whatever, idk and idc. He doesn't mean it, he's just nasty because it's easy to be online. No consequences. No responsibilities. No accountability. So you are just gonna have to detach yourself a little and not be so emotionally affected by words from strangers. You can try wild too. I personally find that wild mode has more pleasant people than standard. Or you can quit. Don't think you should let toxic strangers affect you so much though, to the point that you'd quit.

    While slightly unrelated, I always see people making themselves feel better after they got bmed by telling themselves the asshole is a sad, pitiful person or that it is the only thing they got going for them. This is just self consolation as well as self delusion. The asshole is probably just bored or bming makes him feel good as he topdecks a win or both. He ain't pitiful and he sure as hell ain't some degenerate that you can compare yourself to and tell yourself that you are superior. I have someone in my friendlist who used to play hs and he was pretty decent at it. Only issue was he bmed all the way in every game no matter the board state. And he won majority of his matches because the opponent became unnerved. I didn't like how he did it, but he wasn't a bad player. So skill level has nothing to do with it. And easily getting unnerved by someone's emotes is the only reason why people nonsensically lie to themselves about how their opponent is a loser in real life or that squelch somehow pisses off the bmer. Just to make themselves feel better. Kinda like how most bmers bm to make themselves feel good in the first place. Some kind of ego masturbation.

     Why would you need to make yourself feel better because of a BMer? If you go deep down into this, when you look at it, you will notice people who have a need to BM, specially those in need of excessive constant expression and emoting, that usually comes from even the smallest perturbation in their personality, even small scale disorders. So I don't know why one needs to feel better about themselves, what happens to me is that I feel sorry for my opponent. It has no effect on me nor does it change me. But it does make me feel bad for my opponent that he has to deal or live with the problem he has. It is actually rare that you find players doing excessive amounts of BMing without actually having anything that is disturbing them.
    By how you described that person in your friends list, it is likely he also suffered some problem.
    And it doesn't have anything to do with the opponent being a loser in real life, that is a fabrication that people like to construct to label others while also trying not to get labelled themselves.
    All of this aside, sometimes it can be mildly annoying when the opponent enjoys BMing and is oblivious to the events that lead to the game conclusion, many times the mistakes they made, but some people don't want to be told they are wrong, not everyone strives to constantly improve themselves.
     Dont ask me why one needs to make themselves feel better because of a BMer. I dont do it. Ask some of the people above who do it. Why do they need to delude themselves with nonsensical lies that debases the asshole that threatens their ego? Probably to regain some security and defuse unpleasant emotions, I'd bet. I wouldn't know, ask someone above who does.
     
    As for your interpretation of BMing being a result of personality perturbations and even disorders, this is exactly the kind of delusional lie that I was talking about. There's no need to 'look deep down into this' because it never was such a serious matter. BMing doesn't always have to do with disturbances in their mental state or problems in real life. Hell, it rarely does. The asshole is bored so he BMs on a whim. The feel of victory is awesome so he BMs. He is salty and so he vents and BM. That's it. It's on a whim. It doesn't have to do with disorders or problems or whatnot. That is blowing matters out of proportion to feel better. There is no need to feel sorry for the BMer. He probably has no issues. He doesnt have to live life problems or mental disorders. He isn't in a sorry state that you can look down on him from above and feel better then tell yourself 'he is pitiful'. He's probably an average dude acting on the mean streak that everyone has. It's just easier to be nasty with online anonymity. That's it. Delusions. Self consolation. Exaggeration. Fixing some wounded pride by mentally lowering the dude who you let wound you.

    posted a message on Rank 10 - 5?

    Wild rank 5 is reasonably doable with tier1/2/3 decks. You can switch decks if you hate repetition but you had better know those decks inside out: What is the optimal play this turn? What card can screw you over at this turn? What is he prob gonna do next turn? Things like that. If you know the answers then go ahead and play the decks. Wild is indeed more easier to climb than in standard anyway.

    posted a message on wild legend ranked

    yes, this is normal. the wild legend player pool is so small that queue is incomparable to standard and it's the same few people. i find most reach their desired rank then dont play anymore and camp. things only get lively on the last day of the season.

    Quote from GrimmFandingo >>

    Been playing HS for about 2 months now. Spent most of my time just collecting as many cards as I could, playing with the basic decks and trying to learn the game. I decide it's time to make a deck with my excess dust so I make a budget mid-range hunter. Play a bunch of games with that and have obviously pushed my MMR up in doing so. This evening I have a quest to get 5 wins with priest/paladin. So, I throw together a Paladin deck and jump into casual. Half an hour of getting whooped by actual decks later I think maybe the deck I have made is just bad. Find some example decks and create something similar from my collection and that fares even worse. Another half an hour getting flogged with 2 random insta-concedes thrown in. Decide to try the level 10 deck since I know I used to be able to get at least some wins with that. It seems to fare slightly better and actually beats an evolve shaman (I think he just got bad draws), then a random concede, then I seem to run into a squad of aggro druids and take loss after loss for another solid half an hour. At this point i have lost what must be at least 20-30 games in less than 2 hours and the game is still matching me with people who have Golden Hero emotes. I understand why MMR doesn't drop as fast as it climbs but this is ridiculous. Changed decks again and tried a couple of games in ranked but at this time of the month level 20 ranked is a lions den. So back to casual and another 15 minutes of getting repeatedly bodied by the same 2-3 meta decks and after I get a reasonably good start to a game my opponent concedes. So that was 2 hours of frustration in a game I have otherwise really enjoyed so far. For the record I know one way to get around this would be to let my objectives build up and roll them every day until I have only hunter quests and I will be doing that in future. But I feel this is something that would be very easily fixed by Blizzard and them saying MMR works the way it does to avoid smurfing would be a lot easier to accept if the game wasn't filled to the rafters with smurfs regardless. For the record I'm still loving HS but for someone who is thinking about making their first major investment into the game things like this are really off-putting. Anyway, rant over. Proceed to tell me to git gud etc etc...

     

     Nope, no criticism or insults, just kinda sorry. Hearthstone is far from new player friendly, which isnt helped by the fact that many use casual mode to complete quests with net decks for quickest and most efficient result or that net decks can be seen as low as rank 20. I'm not sure how to change this either. When I first started out, experienced the same thing and it was horrible facing experienced players with net decks when you are playing some cobbled-together hunter bcos its cheap. Would've gave up on it if I didnt have friends that play the game longer who showed me the fun you could have with a larger card collection. So, keep at it I guess, it gets better as your card collection grow but if you give up in frustration, I can't blame you.

    posted a message on Flamed for losing?

    No one has any right or say in what deck you play, be it a homebrew or a netdeck. They can be bitter and salty however much they want, as long as it isnt cheating or against blizzard rules in some way, it's fine. Anyone who says otherwise is merely imposing standards they created themselves on others. Standards that were created for an ego trip, standards that dont matter to anyone except the fella who tells himself he's more intelligent than the net decker or the aggro player to console himself after an 'unfair' loss , standards for the sole purpose of masturbation. I don't give a crap about what deck you are playing, if you aren't cheating, you are fine. Those who belittle others for the decks they play, get off your high horse. No one regards you in the same light you do. 

    That said, if you are bitter after a match and add ppl to flame, I'm personally okay with it. Blizzard system allows it. It isn't pleasant or sportsman-like but I understand that feeling of frustration when you lose to luck or feel like there was nothing you could do to change the outcome. But I'm pretty sure you are aware of the cowardice in venting yet running away when ppl are about to retaliate by unfriending. If you are aware and yet still do it, it kinda says alot about your character.
