A solution to rage-quitting?

Community Discussion
1

I like playing shaman, but when I concede Thrall says ‘you win friend, I concede’ I usually have no issue, but now and then I am faced by ridiculous rng in favour of my opponent and I really don’t feel like being friendly upon leaving the game.
I can imagine more people feel this way now and then and I believe the emote you’re forced to send is causing at least part of the rage-quits.
I am not in favour of removing the concede-emote altogether, I am more than happy to emote this when my opponent outplayed me fair & square.
Instead, I would like to see an additional option added to concede without emoting. By wording it exactly that, you make it clear what it does and I do believe there is room for one more button in that specific little menu.

You can just threaten when the concede emote starts if you really want to convey your disdain regarding the rng.

True. I’m no fan of using the threaten-emote but yes, it is possible.
However, I’m not looking for a personal solution. I’m looking for a solution to a situation that seems to be bothering other people to some degree as well.

No room, auto squelch needs that spot first.

I learned to rope over a year ago. Watch Tv or something fun while ‘working’ at making gold and dust. My alt account has 4000 gold this one is all spent but I have 3000 dust. Someday when you catch up to the power creep the gamma become more fun.

Good ol 1 2 3 RNG! When it punishes me I punish everyone.

Or you could stop being triggered by losing. No need to “rub it in”. Just concede and move on. It literally does not matter in any way how your opponent “feels”.

Remove the root cause of the problem.
Uninstall. Problem solved.

The game will make you lose and it’ll be that kid or that grumpy old guy or that drama queen person doing bm and the best is concede to kill the bm and save your time.

I agree, having to communicate to your opponent you’re autosquelching because you have to mouse over their protrait is kind of awkward too.
Maybe concede should be removed as an option and simply added as an emote instead. I’m in favour of removing greetings, because nobody uses that anymore anyways…

I’m not triggered by losing, as I said in my OP I do concede normally as to not waste anyone’s time. I do get annoyed when my opponent ups and leaves because I got crazy rng off my hagatha. And I understand it’s tilting, I wouldn’t be happy about it either.
And it is okay to feel bad about something. It’s part of being human. And yes, we could all simply get over ourselves and use the concede button, but that’s not realistic is it? D|o you honestly believe this community will change for the better? No, I think it would be better to give an option to the most tilted players to leave a game quietly without being forced to emote.

You have 2 options.

  1. Alt f4 like a baby.
  2. Don’t be a sore loser.

It’s not about being a sore loser it’s about not having to sit out the time it takes for the game to realize the opponent has left (ie ragequit)
The narrowminded replies really add to the notion that this community has gone to shirt -r

Best answer would be for Blizz to make the game good enough so people don’t have to ragequit. People quit out of anger because there’s no play-counterplay anymore. Its just RNG, and a couple stupidly OP decks.

I want people to stop saying “Well played” or “Thank you” when I concede. Frankly, I’m not normally conceding because I’m nice. I concede because I can either tell I can’t win with the deck I am using or the person is being a troll and just threatening me constantly and not using any other strategy except to act like a child. So no, it is not “well played” to concede and don’t thank me for something I didn’t do out of kindness. It’s just weird.

I’m no fan of using the threaten-emote but yes, it is possible.

I use threaten as a joking way of saying “well done”–along the lines of, “I am being a sore loser because you owned me so thoroughly”. It’s self-deprecating humor.

For the special case where you lose not because of strategy (yours or theirs) but just because of unlucky draws–I’d recommend the same approach as when you win because of dumb luck: Remember that it’s a game. :wink:

The ironic thing is, usually when I do try to return the so-called bm I end up losing and that just makes me feel worse lol and to stop that all I can do is just simply not respond to bm with bm :slight_smile:
When my opponent sends threats my way, I always reply with the thanks emote, and when they start spamming emotes I just squelch them. And I try my best to play my hand perfectly and hopefully win (or at least not give them an easy win)
Honestly, I see emoting as role-playing and I’m sad so many people can get tilted over that. But tbf, when I’m in a bad mood I can’t take the emotes as well either, it’s like another drop in the already full bucket.
And another thing that really saddens me is that people nowadays basically say ‘it’s okay to be a behind-hole on the internet, just ignore it’ but why is that so? Why can’t we hold the same standards online as we do in person? Maybe we should stop with the term ‘in-real-life’ I’m still really alive while writing this, this is not another life…
