Disconnecting on friend request

So basically whenever i send a friend request to anyone to just laugh at a stupid match we just had i get disconnected and nothing happens. Any reasoning or suggestions?

Hello MediumRare!

We’re aware of an issue where having too many pending friend requests at once can cause you to disconnect from Hearthstone when you send additional requests.

Follow these steps to work around the issue:

  1. Open the Blizzard Battle.net Desktop Application on your computer
  2. Click on the friends list icon in the upper right hand corner of the application
  3. Click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the friends list to open the friends list settings menu
  4. Select “View Sent Friend Requests”
  5. Clear the sent friend requests
