PLEASE remove the “Thank You” emote. It is NEVER used in ANY game I play except for toxic reasons. Whenever someone is about to win on ladder, they say “Thank You” as in “Thank you for giving me a win and promoting me on ladder.” There’s no reason to allow “Thank You” in the game as an emote. NONE. It makes me not want to play Hearthstone at all or just squelch someone whenever I am about to lose a game. It is a TOXIC emote. Period.

IMO, think emotes need to be reworked or just removed.

How do you know they weren’t thanking you for a good match? Not everyone uses the emotes to be jerks.
Also, you can just squelch soon as the match starts, takes 1 second and almost 0 effort

Do most of the avatars even use the words “Thank You”?
What’s comical is the clowns using it think their presence actually had any affect on the game.
Turn 1, by a warlock when I skipped using the coin to play a 2 cost minion and instead passed.
Is the game really over at that point? well it was over at turn 5 when he played his 4th discarded 5 mana damage spell
No it should remain unaffected. Emote are use for conversation while playing. What some people use it for of their intent isn’t the samething as being toxic. Its humanily impossible to be toxic using them because everyone just sees a emote being trigger on the screen nothing else.
Don’t take it so seriously. The emote are also use in between the turns if a player likes what they see they will use “Thank you” or “Well played”. If the player knows the deck they may say “Well Played” I do this all of the time because it shows to the other player I have vast knowledge. Very skillful players will do this.
Different hero’s avatars will say something different instead of the defualt. Keep in mind you’re in full control of what sounds and words pops in your mind so if you projected it when players emote you then it is you who is the problem not the emotes.

I love to use that emote sometimes with my Diamond Tirion skin when the enemy hit me because he knocks on his armor for it and it looks cool. 
I love that animation and a Thank you is not hurt.. but why don’t use use Squelch at every match starting if you are so annoyed? I am doing that as my auto 1st move for a long time now…
Then mute them you crybaby. Seriously how did we go from COD lobbies to this crap? Everything just hurts everybodies feelings

A good solution would be to enable or disable emotes in settings
the silver hand thanks you
Bring back “Sorry”.
It will just be one emote after another that soft people don’t like.

I have a wild solution. Squelch your opponent from emoting before the game starts. Crazy concept..

Implementing a global “Emotes Off” toggle in a profile setting is a logical solution to a repetitive UX problem. The current requirement to manually “squelch” opponents every match is inefficient and favors the aggressor over the player seeking a focused experience.
Hearthstone sell emotes (hero portraits). If a large portion of the player base disables them permanently, the “flex value” of those digital goods evaporates, potentially hurting sales.

thats pathetic. I think it gets to a point where you absolute soft babies need to take your own “safety” into your own hands and just not play the game.
That point is when you start inferring negativity in singular words that have no real context behind them other than your own perceived hurt feelings.
And lets say they ARE trying to be toxic with emotes. Mute is a function you just refuse to use because you already know you HAVE to get stung once in order to know who to mute, or mute everyone all the time.
Both of those things you refuse to do because you refuse to be responsible for yourselves in any way.
And people need to let you know how utterly sad and pathetic that is way more often so you maybe MAYBE will be shamed into being an actual human being.

got some good points Sanjiluv.
However, Blizzard needs to add a global mute function in options, not in a per game basis.

They already have it. It’s just named differently. In your client find the “uninstall” button. Everyone is muted.
