I feel like people who say "GGWP" when they win are just complimenting themselves

This sounds ridiculous, but hear me out.

I've always thought GGWP as, "You played well, but I played even better than you. :)"

For whatever reason, to me, it's more offensive than saying "GGEZ" because it's a much more passive aggressive way of BM'ing the enemy team.

I only say GGWP now if I lose for these exact reasons.

I have no idea why I feel this way, but it never fails to piss me off whenever someone does this.

Some are. Personally I value common courtesy even online. For me the intent is to respect that with out the other 5 players I could not play the game. So its about sportsmanships. If there is a shithead who greifs I call that individual out and exclude them. Same standard for me if it's a win or loss.

Its only triggering to say "GGWP" when the other team has someone dc after getting close to winning.

You cant really call it a gg if the game was just thrown out abruptly and nobody would have ever known how it would have ended if the disconnect "mechanic" didn't come into play.

s9 has made me dislike the term because matchmaking (as well as the snowbally changes to the game) seem to make a lot more "stomp" games, and when the kill score is 7-30 and my team only got 1 tower while the enemy demolished everything and took all neutrals it kind of feels shitty to hear, I appreciate that people are trying to be good sports I'm less upset with them than I am with whoever at riot to shape games toward 25 minute games that are generally decided at around 15 min by which lanes hard lost/gave up. Also whoever came up with the "positional matchmaking" travesty of an idea sucks as well, I think that is part of the reason MMR across all ranks is quite unbalanced and strange this season.

It's literally the opposite. Saying EZ is being pompous
