Why do people do this? Like what is the psychology behind “oh yeah I did turn 3 The Scourge in my rogue deck. You are so bad bro here’s my thank you emote.”
Like why?

Because the people who play decks like that are 12 and you shouldn’t be shocked when they act their age.

Because they saw an EPIC compilation and when they actually get to win they have to do the same?

Because they’re giggling to themselves, thinking about how their opponent is going to get SO MAD they have to go complain about it on a forum somewhere.

That was a very witty response

You wanted to know why. It’s because they think about triggering the other guy and it gives them warm fuzzy feelings in the cockles of their cold dead hearts.

He said rogue, not priest players.

I’m confused.
Based on the comments I’ve received whenever I play a priest deck, priests are expected to have cockles stuffed everywhere but their hearts.

It was moreso an example of a recent opponent I had who had a crazy RNG win. In general, I mean anybody who gets the nuts when it comes to winning via RNG and then BMing. Could be any class. In general, it’s just a worse game experience. It takes the worst part of Hearthstone, the RNG, and makes it even worse by giving players the option to become insufferable.
It’s literally no different than when you mute somebody in League and then use other comms to BM you.

I get it. I hate that aspect of the game the most, too.
There are classes that you pressure them and then you can tell they are out of options so down comes discover to try and get out.
I lost today to a priest that copied the only card in my deck (I had half a deck left) that had direct damage, a weapon, which was exact lethal with their hero power.
If they did not draw that card from my deck, and only that one card, I would have won the game. I HATE that. HATE it. It should not be possible to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get lethal. It’s the worst part of this game.
I wouldn’t have cared if they had a board clear or a silence, or some other card they chose to include in their deck, to have pure luck be the literally deciding factor sucks.
I played around everything they had, but I didn’t have enough to play around my own deck, too.

That’s basically what my frustration comes down to. The fact that there are some variables that, even with perfect play, you cannot account for. I mean it’s an age-old HS meme having your opponent Ragnaros your face for game when you have a board full of minions, which is honestly one of the most tame examples of BS the game creates.
So yeah, getting BMd over getting an SSS-rated RNJesus is an insufferable experience.

I gave up and just mute every match.
Since blizzard refuses to put in auto squelch, new players will be introduced to these experiences. Drive the new players away and let the game die.

Congratulation. By complaining about it on the forums, you gave them exactly what they wanted. A confirmation that their “efforts” worked.

At the risk of seeing another “waaah, I didn’t get spoonfed” post, there’s no way you didn’t see a thread discussing this issue. There’s been at least (on average) one a month across the various forums here.

So, are you skynet (or skynet adjacent) or from another planet?
Otherwise, that circle you just drew included yourself.
If the former, greetings and welcome to planet Earth. Sorry if no one said that. Double sorry if some government or corporate bozo took a shot at you on the way in (not all humans are trash, really!). If you got one of those “come to Earth” messages that directed you here, there are a LOT of people who were (and still do) genuinely interested in meeting and making friends with people out there if they exist.
Not all of all are so cynical to believe you’d fly half way across the universe to strip mine the place. Not all humans are trash (no really).
Not all humans are trash (no really), the internet is a bad cross sampling (no really). I would suggest visiting the seven wonders, a few of the really good museums that showcase a good sampling of art and history from across the millennia (avoid the tour guides), and try local cuisine and music on the seven continents.
TLDR: not all humans are trash, welcome, take in the sights, and give us some time, we’ll get it right (eventually).
Well played, friend!

So you are upset that your opponent sent you a pixelated speech bubble?
I really need to know what your means of employment are that this type of thing upsets you enough to make a public forum post regarding it. How do you handle conflict within the workplace and/or at home.
Honestly it may be time to consider not only stepping away from gaming but enrolling yourself in some sort of therapy .
This is just bizarre .

It is about getting an reaction. Which is why auto squelch is never added.
