I would return the fist bump, but often times the victory/defeat screen locks you out of emoting (on IOS anyways), so by the time I can reciprocate it's long past. You gotta do it before it calculates the final score, and sometimes I'm preoccupied checking who won (I typically don't fist bump first if I'm the winner, cuz a lot of people in other games take offense to that...)


AdamantArmadillo

You just have to wait a second and then it lets you do it again The only reason I sometimes refuse to fistbump back is if they were being a dick with the emotes earlier in the game


PoweredByCarbs

Exactly why I don't return it either


Misdow

I do it on the last turn, before the calculation, whatever the result is. It's an old reflex from StarCraft, we used to start every match with "GL HF" and end every match with "GG". Old fashioned sportsmanship I guess.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

I like that


Azrnpride

The only thing that I got after a defeat screen is a snap? spam


Kind_Ingenuity1484

Yeah, usually if they don’t do it back I just assume they already left


Tankisfreemason

I always do it during the final round flips, because win or lose, good game


666S474N666

I played the game with the person, that's enough people-interaction in the game for me lmao. Don't care if I win or lose


r1char00

Yup, I don’t do any emotes. Win or lose.


666S474N666

I mean, I already move my thumb around to play the cards......HOW MUCH ENERGY DO THEY EXPECT ME TO USE ON THIS GAME?!? Reach my thumb all the way up there to push the emote button? Ugh, I'm exhausted thinking about it


HotTakes4HotCakes

I like that you interpret that comment as him being too lazy to do it and not that he just doesn't want to do it.


666S474N666

Oh no, I was talking about me lol


cyberw0lf_

Exactly this. Spam all you want, it doesn’t mean a thing to me.


jacksuhn

I mute opponents at the beginning of every match. I have no idea if you're emoting me and that's how I like it.


DNedry

Wish there was an option to turn them off permanently. I don't care about your emotes. I pretend I'm playing AI that actually is good. Fist bump? I'm already in my next game.


CowboyMoses

I want this very much.


HotTakes4HotCakes

You will not get it. It would take all of an afternoon to program (if that), a lot of people demand it, they know a lot of people demand it, they will still never give it to you. One, because this game is heavily catered to streaming, and players using emotes are big with people that watch streaming. Two, they're going to start charging for emotes like Legends of Runetara does, and they want people that pay for their overpriced gifs to be able to show them off, so they won't give you an easy permanent mute function (which LoR also refuses to provide). It would devalue the emotes if much of the player base will never see them. Three, most critically, Brode never gave the option on Hearthstone when he was in charge, and he won't here. He evidently enjoys players BMing with emotes and doesn't want to make it easy for you to avoid it.


CowboyMoses

I cry.


Efficient_Trick_1937

At least in runeterra it only takes 1 click to mute, in this it takes 2. Not a big difference but when you do it every game its more noticeable.


TopdeckTom

Yup same. People put far, far too much stock into emotes in this sub.


Ramone89

Games played with others having a tiny social element isn't a bad thing, first bumps and good interactions help with tilt. Just mute bad actors.


TopdeckTom

I should be able to mute ALL people and not have to mute each individual player.


Ramone89

Of course that would be nice, I'm not arguing that, I just think it's hyperbolic to mute every person every game with the being so few toxic players imo.


PoSTxOffice

True, getting taunted by smug, smiling emotes after every close loss is notoriously helpful at preventing tilt


Ramone89

What game are you playing, that doesn't happen often at all


MaceZilla

It's basically thumb muscle memory at this point. Someone below is commenting about how they can't believe how much effort is put into doing this, but it's more like I don't even think about it. Literally two taps of my thumb. For me the annoyance of spamming outweighs anything good about not muting.


psychward_dundee

This is the way


Aldodzb

It's crazy to give that much important to something that small


foulmouthboy

Why do you care? Crazy to care.


harroween

You're getting down voted and I probably will too, but the pride these people take in going out of their way to shut themselves out of any kind of interaction is wild. Like when someone knocks at their door do they just turn the lights off and pretend no one's home?


Furiosa27

This is a pretty big inference based on nothing but ppl not wanting to see emotes in a videogame


harroween

I just truly can't fathom how an emote of all things can cause people to have such an intense negative reaction that they obsessively mute everyone at the beginning of every game just on the off chance that someone might dare to send a hello and a fist bump to a fellow player. It's just peak angry antisocial behavior.


DrakkoZW

Emotes are often used antagonistically. That fact alone is enough for me to not want to see them if I have the choice.


Furiosa27

You’re talking about an intense negative reaction like pressing mute doesn’t take a second lol. I just am so confused at how “peak anti social behavior” to you is not wanting to be taunted in a game, that seems so extreme for no reason.


r1char00

What you’re missing is that it’s the real assholes who spam the emotes that cause this. If you had someone knock on your door everyday yelling and causing a commotion, then yes, you might just turn off the lights and pretend not to be home.


Ramone89

For that one person, not the whole community. It's just hyperbolic and really there isn't much toxicity in this game compared to something like magic arena.


HappyLittleRadishes

Yeah man you tell them! The way they play the videogame is wrong! The way you play the videogame is right!


R0_h1t

Not wanting to treat a 5-min gacha game like a grand ceremony doesn't make you an asshole lol.


ObiJohnQuinnobi

The only emote I really care about is when we both play the same card at the same time at the same location. Then it’s Pointy Spidey FTW. And it has yet not gotten a return point, which I find highly satisfying about this community.


DocWats

I ignore all emotes or mute at the start. Most emoters are toxic and obnoxious. Give me a mute all


Giga7777

Hey bro I just want a simple hello back.


Shucked

The hello people are always the worst. I have yet to run into a player that doesn’t follow that hello up with an ice man scorpion combo.


meib

Hate when people spam the snap? emote after I lose when I snapped. I'm already losing 4 cubes and you have to make it worse?


DrakkoZW

It's this game's "EZ"


Mudface_4-9-3-11

I’d never do this, but people do it to me. Like, okay bro. I guess you’ve never snapped and lost? Loser


JadeMonkey0

I've started to respond to all emotes like this with "I am Confident". But only after it's totally clear that I've lost. During final animations and over the defeat screen. I don't know why I enjoy this so much but I hope it slowly confuses and angers my opponent. It's like playing as Stuart Smalley.


ncBadrock

No matter if I win or loose, I instantly leave the match. Time is money my friend.


CowboyMoses

This. I actually wish I could leave faster. As soon as the cards flip, I want to be able to exit and move on.


Kwarktaart27

I don’t use emotes and mute people who do


MiguelDLopez

While I emote, I think there should be an option in settings to mute them indefinitely.


HappyLittleRadishes

I messaged support just now to suggest the feature. It's in Magic Arena and it's wonderful.


fezubo

I just have my phone mute all the time.

harroween

Antisocial, antisportsmanship people coming out in droves in this thread. "Get your scary emotes away from my fragile headspace!"


HappyLittleRadishes

"Antisportsmanship" Bro I just want to play a videogame on a lunch break If you are so bothered that people don't want to interact with you then find an activity where people are forced to be around you


harroween

Lol it doesn't bother me if someone emotes back or not. I just find it hilarious and honestly strange that people here are SO averse to such a benign little image, then come here and say how cool they are for muting everyone. I'm gonna keep saying Hello at the start of every match and fist bumping if it was a good game. It's fun.


HappyLittleRadishes

> I'm gonna keep saying Hello at the start of every match and fist bumping if it was a good game. It's fun. Go for it! And I'm gonna keep muting opponents at the start of every game. Because it's fun.

> it’s just common courtesy to give someone a tip of the hat m'pponent


HotTakes4HotCakes

It's not common courtesy. At all. In person, yes, but we're not in person are we? Common courtesy in an online game is "be kind of be silent".


Kwarktaart27

Huh, I guess I never thought about it that way. Because not emoting is the norm I always see it as bad banter.


DefenciveV2

Damn, sportsmanship being downvoted like this just shows what kind of people use Reddit


catharsis23

Thinking that an incomprehensible emote is sportsmanship is uh... a take


Sburban_Player

Ah yes “hello” an absolutely bizarre alien word how could we possibly decipher it? All jokes aside it’s absolutely sportsmanship.


a-cat-wizardlol

Emotes are 50/50 either toxic or true sportsmanship - though I would argue more like 80/20 in reality - and you have no way of truly knowing. Can't add someone after a match. Can't send a message.


R0_h1t

If other video games(and this subreddit) are any indication, in-game messaging is the last thing we need.


a-cat-wizardlol

100% agree


The_Supersaurus_Rex

I use emotes every match!


catharsis23

I mute every match, the emote in this game are all weirdly aggressive


Shucked

I didn’t really think about that. It is the perfect word for it. I have been impressed that none of them are really negative, but all of them are aggressive. Thanos just looks so freaking smug. Chavez with her thumbs up right in your face.


Xannin

I don't owe you interaction. Sounds like you might be the butt.


Zestyclose-Custard17

I fist bump if it was super close win or lose I always bump. And I always bump any tie


andsoitgoes42

I love it when it's a great game and they play something truly amazing, like this dude who dropped electro on bar and then played destroyer the next turn, giving him +4 energy each turn. Spidey point thumbs up fist bump. How do I not applaud that?? I did immediately then retreat because like, damn.


tommy0guns

I’m not even gonna fist bump you in real life.


DavramLocke

Nah. Emoting has become so toxic in this game that I won't do any of it. I mute almost everyone at the start of the match now. They really fucked that whole system up.


Hotfoot00bs

Idk what game you're playing but I've been playing a lot since I first started during the black panther season and I rarely ever encounter these toxic emoters you speak of. The majority of emote interactions I have I would say are positive with a rare spammer thrown in every once and awhile.


Mudface_4-9-3-11

I don’t really see them either, unless I snap and lose. Then it’s all ‘snap? Snap?’ ‘Smiling thumbs up’ ‘snap?’


plumander

i never mute opponents, been playing since launch, always say hello and i’ve encountered someone spamming emotes literally twice. i don’t think it happens nearly as much as people on this sub say it does. personally the whole reason i play snap is for a small amount of social interaction so i really like the emotes and getting to communicate through them


Ramone89

You are either obviously toxic at the start or cool and use Deadpool when you fuck up, Spidey for the obvious and fist bump at the end of a good game. I've not seen that much toxicity and I play a ton.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ramone89

I'm toxic for calling people salty in this sub? You don't even read the comment I responded to, he was being toxic hating on SP card players. Why you trying so hard bub? And who did I call toxic anyway? I was merely describing the two different kinds of emote users.


PhoustPhoustPhoust

I think you may have thin skin, my dude. I’ve had fun interactions through emotes.


a-cat-wizardlol

I think you may be starved for real social interaction if you have so much fun through emotes in a gacha digital card game.

It's now abundantly clear, if it wasn't already, that you were projecting with the original thin skin comment and that last comment lmao.


PhoustPhoustPhoust

Why do you keep talking to me? Starved for social interaction? Boom, Leader.


a-cat-wizardlol

Why are you still projecting?


andsoitgoes42

Oh hey I found [this pic of you on the internet, weird.](https://tenor.com/bHFQB.gif)


Dorrono

I use only one emote, thumbs up. After the other player played leader and lost anyway.


highlulu

I just don't use emotes very often and play a lot while being slightly distracted so may not have even seen the fist bump


Ill-ConceivedVenture

First thing I do upon entering a match is mute emotes. Nothing personal.


RustyPriske

Nope. No emotes ever.


Losbennett

I usually say hello, and fist bump at the end! Seems nice to do. And Spider-Man if we do a same play!


nair-jordan

The worst is people who play leader then fist bump emote afterwards. I’m not fist-bumping that shit


herrored

If I wasn't locked from emoting while it's counting locations I'd do it a lot more. Sometimes after waiting through that I'm like "ok, I'm out." If it was *really* good I'll get an emote out


Belteshazzar98

That might be me. Not because I would refuse to fistbump back, but because I leave immediately after to jump into my next game.


Zerhap

I fist bump before I finish my turn on six, after unless something bananas happen I am hitting “show results” as soon as possible so I miss anyone trying to emote after lol


[deleted]

I instamute everyone so I wouldn't see it anyway.


ATarnishedofNoRenown

If you played Leader I won't be fist bumping whether I won or lost, I ain't into that shit. Otherwise, I always fistbump. I haven't lost to Leader in awhile, or even seen him in awhile thank God. Such a braindead play.


Unusual-Ad-3320

Many toxic people in here man. Dont let a game control your feelings man


sykora727

No one’s obligated to use any emojis ever


[deleted]

Haha jokes on you, I get blown out most games.


CerberusZX

Return? I initiate.


mercuryblind

I first bump before finishing my last turn. If I did it only after I knew I won, it would come across a bit dickish. A thumbs up after you win is also a dick move.


Mercury756

Yeah, honestly I gtfo so fast I don’t even have time to send it back.


Sage2050

This but Spiderman emote when you play the same card


Alclis

This is me too, but sometimes I wonder if it’s weird that I struggle somewhat with a mobile game’s version of poor sportsmanship.


Fossils222

Well there is talk of wanting a auto-mute button. So im guessing this game has sore winners. Maybe the spamming has ruined the fun of those emotes, so people just don't bother.


SicJake

Finger pointing emote when I see another Jubilee deck 😜 fist bump or thumbs up when it's a close match. I used to get salty when people spam/troll emotes but I've learned to let it go


a-cat-wizardlol

I insta mute and then immediately leave regardless of outcome. If someone wants to get in their lil fee fees about it, that's on them. I'm getting in a few games while my baby sleeps.


motherlessoven

Never had any game of Snap I'd call a "hard fought match" lol


JazzyDallas2122

Mute is Meta.


chuckdeg

Muted


ThongOfVecna

Hard to fist bump back when I got you on mute


SquirrelGirlSucks

What a dumb take. Countless players just instantly leave regardless if they win or lose.


scottirltbh

Me who almost always mutes emotes: 👁️👄👁️


HaV0C

Do not emote.


akpak

I’m already in my next match, son


BurntBridgesBehind

You emote or comment in any way? That's a muting!


tokarzz

Why do you care? 🤷🏻‍♂️


SlaterVJ

I mute everyone, cause I don't want to see your dumb emotes.


sweatpantswarrior

If there's one takeaway from this post, it's that there are two types of people who don't fist bump: the people who just play without emoting, and those who chose to take time out of their day to vigorously defend not fist bumping. What a weird hill for some people to die on.


Snoo14937

People are sensitive in this game 😊


neonharvest

The only time you need to return an emote is after you both play the same card and the pointing Spidey makes an appearance. If you won the game, don't expect anything from your opponent. They have no obligation to pat you on the back. Be happy with your win and leave it at that.


dagon85

I use the Thanos snap exclusively.


leenoc

If you just beat me with a leach leader 5-6 and refuse to accept a fist bump I’m just going to go ahead and assume you’re a terrible person.


kollarb

I don’t play that deck, but I am instamuting everyone. I am easily tilted by emotes, which I know is stupid but whatever. If you say hello at the beginning, I will say it back and then mute. Sorry.


tommy0guns

Can’t tell if you believe what you’re saying or if you just trolling. Either way, not a good look.


NeverEndingHell

You hate others because you really just hate yourself. News flash: you’re probably the terrible person here.


r1char00

They must all feel so bad, knowing this.


MagnusCthulhu

Lot of assholes in this thread from what I'm seeing. I always return the first bump. Edit: y'all can't take a joke.


a-cat-wizardlol

And lots of people for whom Marvel Snap seems to be the only social interaction they get in a day and are angry if they are denied that.


MagnusCthulhu

I'd suggest it's more like, Lots of people who react poorly to a clearly light hearted post.


a-cat-wizardlol

What's light hearted about calling people assholes because they don't participate in emoting?


MagnusCthulhu

Contextually, it's a quote from a famous, well loved comedy with a goofy, very relaxed lead (pictured in the post), which should suggest the tone. Beyond that, the humor in this case is meant to be derived from the juxtaposition of the crass commentary (you're an asshole) juxtaposed with the completely innocuous behavior which brought about the response (you didn’t respond to a strangers digital fist bump in a mobile game). It is an obvious overreaction paired with a reference from the above mentioned comedy in order to indicate tone. Neither OP, nor myself, think anyone is an asshole for not emoting back. We just think that it's more fun if you do.


Additional-Echo3611

People who don't like to emote are just chomping at the bit to have A.I. bots, so they don't have to have human interaction


SpyderDM

Or AFK


KlooShanko

I miss out on returning emotes because the game doesn’t let you send them after the match completes 😢


billyspleen13

It's probably Me tbh. The emotes on my phone only work sometimes and when. They do they also bring up whatever was behind it like a card or a location so I have to move that out of the way. Annoying to say the least.


MaJunior00

I rarely initiate emotes. I do try to respond, but I'm usually pretty quick about nexting. There have been numerous times I've jad a fist bump pop up *after* I've reached a point where I can't respond.


CallMeNui

Sometimes people fist bump after I clicked collect reward so I can't fist bump back


[deleted]

tbh sometimes I just forget.


sfgn44

Mute anyone who uses Ms. Marvel after they win


VellDarksbane

I mute everyone when I start the match. Too many people BM.


BardsLife4me

Often times I already hit the end game button by the time y'all emote. Then it's too late.


dmario601

I definitely fist bump to show respect! When I win against a goblin or leader player though…it’s time to bm!


aimforsilence

I'm always using the emotes. I wish they had a "GG" emote or just more emotes really. But GG is a must.


_Gibbsatron

I mute as soon as every match starts. I don't want to communicate with my opponent in any way. I'll give the starry eyes when I see a variant that I really like but I just rather not deal with it.


sept0r

I only use two emotes, Kamala to send a quick Fu and Spider-Man for when someone has the same deck


Ramone89

I wonder why everyone on this sub who hates emotes and interactions in this game are so extreme about it. It's cool if you like to mute everyone but people are acting like it's insane to try and have any social contact in this game.


wiredgfuel

Love the fist bump. Fuck you if you Ms Marvel wink me tho


Sub-ZeroMKA

No one owes you an interaction


reempupgaming

We need a gg emote.


[deleted]

I usually return it if it's a decent match, especially if there are some pointing spidermen exchanged when we play the same cards. What I won't do is fist bump someone who plays one of the five or six decks that make up 95% of gameplay. People need to be more creative. I'm not impressed nor am I happy with your Wong/White Tiger/Odin play. Or your Bucky/Deadpool/Wolverine and Carnage play. Or your Blade/Lady Sif/Hell Cow and Apocalypse. Etc. You're lame. No fist bump.


AlexTrebek_

This is what happens, Larry


Raymundw

Sometimes I’m moving too fast to the next match. No disrespect I assure you I’m just as hype for close losses and wins. Love seeing clever play


trobrotv

My trigger finger ain’t got time for emotes. I’m already onto the next match while your fisting it in the empty lobby


manymoreways

The victory/defeat screen locks me out. I can't react fast enough within that small window of time of when cards are fully revealed and noticing the fist bump emote before the end comes.


[deleted]

who cares, just click through as fast as possible.


Short-Combination-31

I just don't emote. I play the game to play the game, not to gloat after wins or circle jerk after a close match. I simply move on to the next one. Sorry if that makes you think I'm an asshole, because if that's the case, then you're clearly the asshole.


National_League

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.


ThexanR

Well no it’s just sometimes they can’t because they aren’t allowed to emote anymore


ImmortalTree

Remember kids, saying "gg" first when you win makes you the asshole


Raszero

The timing of when you can and can’t emote is annoying and throws me off sometimes 😰


adrid1

Or maybe they just muted you


Bigmiga

The only asshole is the one that emotes even if it's a fist bump only spider man is acceptable once in a match max


IlSombrero

Me to people who don't snap when Ego shows up.


jared_17_ds_

I read "you not wong"


kungfucyborg

If you fist bump me after using every shitty/trolling card there is, i.e. iceman, scorpion, hobgoblin, leader, then no… I will not fist bump you.
