In a game devoid of text or voice chat during live matches, communication between players is restricted to a carefully curated selection of animated emotes.

While some players view it as harmless banter, others find it incredibly toxic, leading to massive losing streaks fueled purely by anger.

Psychological Warfare

'BMing' or Bad Manners is the practice of using emotes specifically to mock an opponent after they make a mistake or lose a match.

In this way, the emote actually provides a tangible, strategic advantage; it is a zero-elixir spell that directly damages the opponent's decision-making ability.

• Some players use emotes to fake their emotions.
• Be a good sport.
• Spend your gems on progression first, cosmetics second.

Protecting Your Sanity

Tapping this small icon instantly silences the opponent, turning their psychological barrage into absolute, peaceful silence.

You can focus entirely on counting elixir, tracking their card rotation, and executing your perfect placements without visual distractions.

Beyond the Cartoons

Treat the BM as a compliment; they are trying to tilt you because they respect your ability to win.

The best revenge is not spamming a louder emote.
