While the other stuff being brought to Hearthstone in Patch 23.6 are rightfully getting more attention, the newest Hearthstone patch is also giving players some much-needed of quality of life improvements for the friends list.
Quote From Blizzard New Features—Expanded Recent Players List and In-Game Reporting
Recent players capabilities have been expanded and improved in the friends list. Now, there will be a dedicated section at the top of your friends list that includes last opponent, former friends, new friends, your current opponent, and more.
Additionally, we’re happy to share that player-reporting will soon be added to the in-game friends list menu! You’ll be able to report players from the recent players list (including your current opponent) or from your friends list. Grounds for reporting will include inappropriate names, inappropriate chats, and inappropriate gameplay. We’re putting the finishing touches on this feature, so you’ll see hints of it in the game with this patch, and it’ll become available soon!
We expect this change will make it a lot easier to report any players that you think are breaking the rules (and no, playing Curse Warlock doesn't count), since the expanded friends list means you can queue another game without losing the BattleTag of the offender. With in-game reporting soon(TM), players should be able to report troublemakers with a lot less hassle than before.

reporting is just dumb honestly wtf are they gonna do? like you already know everyone is gonna be reporting each other through silliness we gonna start censoring people now?
Reporting someone doesn't necessarily mean banning someone.
So I guess the days of people adding you for the sole purposes of bm would be a thing of the past? Something tells me the report button will likely be either overused and over-ignored by blizz, because the last thing they need right now is regulating their own community.
When will they add chat history and unread message notifications for mobile version? Are there any real problems or difficulties in this small improvement?
Any priest deck will be reported. LOL.
In fact, 80% of the reports will come from Priest class and they have to turn off the report button for misuse.
All use of Pirates, cheating out, Quest Hunter, and Druid ramping is Inappropriate Gameplay.
I assume “inappropriate gameplay” includes using bots? I play a lot of Classic, and that mode is infested with zoolock bots, especially in the last days of the month — over about 20 games this past weekend, 12 were against bots!
I’ve previously used the [email protected] email to report them (along with supporting screenshots), but this would be quicker!
Nah, that's just a report button for Priest players
