Why do people salty scoop
why are they so many people who wastes so much time salty scooping or just prolonging the timer, like if you know that you cant win just give up, if you have a chance then keep playing, but the salty scoop is just too much

whats a salty scoop?

There are a lot more reason to scoop than someone being salty. Definitely one reason why someone might concede early but probably also one of the rarest. Time is precious in MTGA and the concede button is convenient.

I think he's talking about ropers not just anyone that quits.

Oh yeah you right. I saw the 'or' and brain shut off I guess.

is there such a thing as a sweet scoop or a savory scoop? or is there just one flavor of scoop type in the game?

Timing opponents out is the epitome of Mad cuz bad. Rather than be upset, look at it as a victory lap. Your opponent got so mad, they wasted their own time.

yeah a big vanilla fan here too. its very nice. i've never thought to eat some scoops of ice cream while playing. Maybe i will. Despite the OP's distaste with such action as long as i am not running the timer i may eat as i play. I wont come to these forms and have someone try and tell me how it is. I am is. I am how it.

No not everyone that does that is bad, there is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cards or bad luck that definately isn't skill based and arguably justified.

though sometimes the game just crashes without an error, happens to me and others too. so its not always scooping

because "i will go get a drink now and give you some time to think about what you did wrong" is the only option this game gives me to communicate that 20 lands and 40 counterspells do not constitute a deck, but a waste of your opponents time.
If you want to be entitled to someone's time try starting a business and being an employer.

You choose to wait through a dc'd opponent. Why did you condition yourself this way. It's a game that is meant to be fun. You are the one ruining your experience if you have a problem waiting.

Imagine playing a toxic deck and then complaining noone wants to play against you. There are many cards I wont play for being too strong, and inherently unfair to hopefully avoid matchups against people like you.
