I mean...its not mandatory, but why would you not? I guess if you really dislike the person, but still.

It's a visible sign of disrespect if you don't do it. It's a gesture.

it just seems refusing to be cordial post set seems to land players in an unnessary amount on BS, regardless of the history between players, Wolkkrone v s K brad, Buffalo vs Scar, Salem vs Armada, it's like ppl forget that they are competitors and sometimes it's not gonna be all smiles and handshakes

That's the whole point of the gesture, to remind everyone that you're civilized people first, passionate animals second.
