I've only done it a few times. Once was when I was matched with the same player 3 times in a row asking if we were the only ones playing. The other time was to tell a well known player I knew I was going to lose .. which I did... badly. I've played others I recognize from the forums but I don't start a conversation.
You can write to other players, but you never know how what you say will be received.
Rest in Peace:

This commemoration is for the class that has constantly been plundered and dismantled by designers for no obvious reason while other classes continue to have coherent skill lines and feel both powerful and cool.
