Would you pay to have an emote that says 'Boring'

I just had a game in wild where I was playing a rough battlecry shamen deck (not full meme) and I played a secret mage. I lost mainly due to not drawing my heals and being stuck with Yogg in my hand. Basically at the end I really wanted my final comment to be 'boring'. This is a salty response so we don't want to encourage it but we can allow it within boundaries.
So I guess the questions are, would we want this response to be available and how much would we be willing to pay for it. If Blizzard sold me that emote for £2 at the end of that game, yeah I might have been in. Do you have games where you'd pay more? Is this silly or is monetizing our salt a viable strategy?

Come to Runeterra--get all the emotes you could dream of! Including the below of Gankplank impatiently pealing his orange...
In hearthstone the squelch button exists, so no. I dont feel like paying money for something that my opponent can just counter with a flick of a button.
Besides which, the present emote system can already be pretty tilting. I personally feel that blizzard should not be encouraging poor sportsmanship, let alone make money off a custom made raspberry. If there were a laugh emote right now it might not be farfetched to suggest a correlation of that to a higher percentage of domestic abuse throughout the world.
No, just shake it off. As an alternative, you could eat a spoon of actual salt, that would technically cost money too and would produce some serious emotes, i bet :D

I'd rather pay for an auto-squelch check box in the game's Options menu.
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
This times 100.
I either want to verbally overpower my opponents or nothing at all. Not a few lousy emotes. Give us auto-squelch Blizzard. It's been far too long.
With Hearthstone Deck tracker you can do that already!
Just install the "Autosquelch" Plugin and you will never get tilted again :)
If nobody hates you, you are doing something wrong!
You are playing a tier 3/4 deck against an high tier 2 one. It's normal to lose that matchup. Plus saying "Boring" at the end of the match would not make your opponent change deck or make you win the next time you encounter a secret mage
I love Weasel Tunneler and there is nothin you can do about it.
I agree with TartaMagica saying boring doesn't do anything. I would forever enjoy the option to give someone the finger or say FU if they're playing a deck that's no fun to play against. I'm taking to you Res Priest!
There's no way I'd pay for anything emote-related.
Also, your opponent couldn't care less about you getting bored: nobody plays for the enjoyment of their opponents.
Actually, if that was your reaction upon defeat, i'm sure your opponent would enjoy your salt.
Wait... that's a THING?!?! That exists?!?!
I don't necessarily find them tilting, but rather just annoying because I know the majority of the time when they are used my opponent is TRYING to tilt me. I also, for some reason, have a much higher ratio of roping opponents than anyone else I know and I would say those are more tilting than emote spamming. And I'm talking the roping turn 1 to then play their Quest card at the last second of the rope kind of roping. But then again those are tough turns with big 1 mana decisions to be made. Is there a HDT extension for this as well?!?! :D
If it happens turn 1 I give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they queued and stepped away. If it happens again turn two, turn three... at some point I just rope them back because I usually play while watching something so I'm not in a big rush anyway. Once roping back gets them moving faster I maintain it for a few more turns before letting up.

Well, I don´t think it´s worth it to put more emotes to this game. Even though I rarely squelch someone, I do it when someone starts spamming emotes like crazy. After that, I´m the one who´s having fun watching him furiously highligting his hero thinking he is tilting me with his countless greetings and threaths, while I don´t really care :)

Something better, Lei Shen's sarcastic "You surprise me. How unusual."
I would emote it against every Ress Priest.
"You payed the RNG Removal Taunt, wow you resurrected it, I sure didn't expected that, did you even had any other option?"
