I do it to Hunter, Paladin and DK players to see if their primal brain has the capability of understanding how to emote back.

This is YOUR translation. Doesnāt mean they are in fact trying to do it; not that Iām saying it NEVER happens (anyone remember the āSorryā emote?). People buy into those ridiculous $25 skins, and you think theyāre just gonna sit there? Iām not. Iām gonna get my moneyās worth. If you donāt like it, thereās the squelch button or the concede button.
Let me assure you, not that Lock has a big fighter in the upcoming meta (that we can see at this point in time), but when people acquire Sargeras for their skin, youāre going to be getting a lot of emotes, so I suggest you get your squelch button ready OR donāt be so negative and just play the game.

Why is everyone so adamantly against good sportsmanship? I donāt understand that part of it at all. Why is it the cool and popular thing to be a jerk? No-one here has an answer for that. Its all just responses enabling and excusing peoples behavior. And this trash is rampant in all games. Even when I played Wow there were people who just got joy out of taunting and harassing people. Everyone here knows it is a problem but the general consensus is who cares? They give us emotes so we will use them as we see fit? I really do not understand why more people do not think there is a problem with how people treat others. Why is it not OK in real life but acceptable in a game? And again answer me why it is so rampant with gamers? I see so many here who will cry till the cows come home about how you treat others when it comes to political ideals but in a game environment it is perfectly fine? Especially with the high rate of mental illness today does it not matter how your behavior could affect someone else? That is might cause someone struggling with an illness or addiction that much worse? Because that happens quite a bit. Why not be the better person?

If people are using emotes to be mean, thatās unfortunate.
Not sure how you can really tell though. I used to just assume people were being friendly or having harmless fun.

i donāt know that people are against sportsmanship. they are pointing out that you are interpreting something that could be innocent, idle, button pushing as bad sportsmanship/manners. i agree that sportsmanship isnāt taught as often in gaming, as much as sports. when i was younger, i was actually encouraged to mock and deride my opponent when i won. so bad sportsmanship is also a learned behavior.
ty for answering Schyla. seems it was even simpler than i was thinking.
Who, specifically, is saying such things? Can you provide an instance, even within this thread, that someone explicitly said such or implicitly suggested it? Any other place on the forums?
I think you are applying your own filter to the way you interpret emotes. That is, unfortunately, a you issue. As you can read within this very thread, nearly no one else has gotten the same interpretation as you have by the emotes. Just by the small sample size of these folk here, you are the outlier. It would be reasonable to conclude that perhaps you ought to re-examine your conclusion making process and identify any bias that is skewing you to the way you are seeing things versus the way everyone else here is.
Iām not making a personal judgement or any such type of comment, just offering an objective and methodical approach to find an answer that meets both the consensus among the people here and the way they are seeing it, and reconciling how you arrive at your version of it, and identify what is causing you to be so different in your perception of what is occurring.
I dont think it is that everyone here is anti-good sportsmanship. That is outright a wrong conclusion unless you can provide evidence of such a claim. The simpler answer, as has been suggested, is perhaps, a bias, a filter, if you will, of your own making that is causing you to see the events the way you do. A filter that no one else here shares with you, and that filter is not being a good sport. That filter is viewing the use of emotes as somehow bad sportsmanship. Which is a flawed outlook in my opinion.
Wellā¦
I donāt even emote but i not buying into getting mad at other people for doing.
Multiplayer games really bring my inner Red alive.
Itās just that i donāt need to emote to tell what i want to be told.
Is that lack of sportmanship too?
I find it strange that people are implying that everyone is using emotes correctly and that it is being interpreted wrong. You cant seriously believe that poor sportsmanship is not rampant in gaming. That is just hard to fathom. You really mean that it is completely interpretation when someone pauses for 5 seconds before lethal and emotes wow 5 times? Or when someone lines up an OTK and then says thank you multiple times? Or how about when someone ropes you and emotes thank you every time. I am interpreting that wrong? You can not seriously say that poor sportsmanship is not rampant and people do not treat others like crap on purpose in a multiplayer environment. All I was asking was why people feel the need to behave this way, and why are people so quick to dismiss it as a perception problem and not an intended behavior? Are hearthstone players a special group that is above poor sportsmanship? I guess I already know the answer it is just funny how no one here will actually just say that a-lot of players are immature and refuse to treat others with respect ?

I not exactly implying that.
I just saying that is weird to assume otherwise or care about it.
That because in the end of the day itās only a online game.
You know that little kids enjoy sticking scissors into outlets. Most stop doing that after they grow up. Most.

I do well played at the end, only when I win though. If I stomp him too hard I donāt usually do it though, mostly when it was a close game, to rub it in.
I also spam thanks multiple times if he was a slow player.
No emotes during the match, just in case I lose.

who can blame the kids when emoting is more entertaining than the game itself.
uh how would i know if they dont answer if i dont emote first ?
Itās not really about whether there is any particular intent or not. Itās a matter of effect.
Letās say thereās this guy Jerry, and Jerry dislikes his neighbor Newman. So whenever Jerry sees him, he says āhello Newmanā, dripping with unamused tone. Itās a pretty freaking petty thing for Jerry to do, but if Newman responded to this by getting all bothered or vengeful, thatād be ridiculous. If I was Newman Iād just reply unironically and cheerfully āhi Jerryā and continue my day with a smile. Yeah, his intent is to make me feel unwelcome, but screw that, I donāt want to feel unwelcome, so I wonāt. I can overcome something so trivial.
The point is not whether thereās a lot of poor sportsmanship or not. There is. Doesnāt matter. The point is that you are claiming to be hurt by a button on a soundboard. You want to feel unwelcome. You want to say that youāre the victim of a .wav file. All of your posts in this thread are a monument to your wound collecting and itās frankly disgusting.
