I was insulted by a player just after a match and I took a screenshot of the chat, because I think these rude guys don’t deserve to play the game. I was happy to accept the friend request, because I always find excellent people to share deck ideas with, but this was not the case this time.
How can I report this offending behavior?
Ah yes, the delicious tears of salty opponents, they provide great sustenance.
But yeah I dunno how to report people.
To the best of my knowledge, the report function of Duelyst is only available immediately after a game with the rude player in question. Otherwise you can try to find them on the forums by looking up their corresponding username and report them there, but that is probably not advisable since you will appear to be a troll actively seeking to interfere with other players for no reason.
If all else fails, offer to play a game with them and afterwards report them if the option is available in casual games with friends.
Dr. Phoenix: Don’t let those troll players spoil your fun kiddo, just stayed focused on the amount of good people you meet and the game, that’s why you’re here isn’t it? In the end you won’t be able to help the people who are suffering and making fun you to spread their suffering, but you know what you can do? You can keep smiling and making the world a better place with every person you meet, one smile at a time 
!
Honestly, I don’t care about the insult. But since other people might care, the right choice is reporting this guy. Duelyst is a game, but it’s also a community with its own rules and being polite is part of them.
I’ve actually run into this more often than I’m used to, recently. I’ve been here since beta and, initially, it was maybe the friendliest you could possibly imagine a community being with pretty much only the emotes and preset phrases. Virtually every match began with “Hello” and “GLHF”. I was usually slow on the draw so I was responding most of the time, but occasionally I was able to send my happy wishes first. As the seasons went on those things dropped off a little bit each month, and I do mean a little bit, I’d say it was hardly noticeable until probably Ancient Bonds. I don’t think there’s any specific reason why it seemed to ramp up around that time, but I started getting the same type of interaction as what you experienced.
I generally accept all friend requests, but now I think I may be a bit pickier. The one today that made me think about not accepting every incoming request was unlike most, in that it didn’t follow a match where I dominated the entire time or one where I topdecked a win where I otherwise would’ve lost. This was a relatively normal match that I won with probably 15 health left on my general, and the homophobic insult I received afterward only pointed out my use of a single card. I was taken particularly aback since this came from a person using a deck that I would imagine receives a lot of these comments and maybe even enjoys making people mad, since the deck type was a part of their username.
Anyway, I just don’t get it. After you’ve played any type of competitive game for any measurable amount of time, you experience every kind of outcome; wins and losses by narrow and wide margins. And in a game like this with the element of randomness in card draw? I just can’t see getting so angry at the opposition for the things they did within the confines of the gameplay itself. I don’t flood people with mocking emotes, though that’s something I’m seeing more of as well, so I haven’t done anything to anyone personally…what makes these people cross over a line of attacking the individual who simply beat them? Or got beaten by them in the case of the mocking emotes!
The good Dr. Phoenix has the right idea.
