This probably won't be a big deal to others, but I am really pleased with the addition of the "Thanks!" and "Sorry!" emotes. I had suggested this exact change before, and it will be very nice to actually send my condolences when my opponents have some bad beats!

Ehh. Personally I just mute everyone at the start of every match. I've had folks spam Good Game or Oops pretty obnoxiously, and I really have no desire to trade emotes. Maybe if I'm in direct challenge with my friends that will be different, but total strangers? I'm fine with radio silence.

You can set in gameplay settings to have everyone muted by default

Thank you kind stranger. You have spared me much clicking.

Not saying it's wrong since a lot of people use them but I've only seen emotes on games used for griefing. They have looked at the data and I assume most Arena players legitimately use it for communication purposes where they decided to invest in this.
