Sportsmanship: Is there a time not to say GGWP?

Seeing as how League is focused on changing the community with the help of the tribunal to be more sportsmanship oriented the thought occurred to me and I wonder if it had to anyone else. Your team gets DESTROYED, this is not concerning normal everyday losses. These are the games that look as though an LCS team got paired against a Bronze V team. The winning team says "GGWP" or "GG" but was it? Yeah I guess from their point of view it was a great game. Saying that to the losing team though is quite a different matter. Under these circumstances I would rather the winning team say nothing and take their crushing victory with a level of humility. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there any slogan that you use instead of "GG" or "GGWP" at the end of a game? Feel free to issue any thoughts on this.

Literally they should just remove all chat, and remove chat from non premade games. If you want to curb negative behavior there you go.

When the other team wins because they got to feed on the bot you ended up with. Instead I would love to here we reported him and they move long.

You can't have a Good well played game if you have bots in the game, Period.

I think it's rude. More like gloating than anything, especially when they won by a landslide.

I just ignore it though. The only thing I say is 'well done team' when we win, because we worked together.

If the other team had a clear troll/afk, I don't usually say gg, ggwp or the like. I usually give my condolences with a "Sorry for the AFK, honoring for the efforts."

Implying that was a good game, in my mind, is just salt on the wound. I don't take offence when others say it, I know what their intent is, but I just don't feel right saying it myself in this kind of a situation.

You always, always, always say gg. It's not commenting on whether or not it was, in fact, a good game, it's a matter of courtesy and respect.
