Never allowed to say it wasnt a "GG"

In my years of playing this game I have noticed something: You are never never never never allowed to say a game was anything less than good. If you say "not really a gg" you are immediately singled out as the most toxic person in existence. No matter the circumstance. Your team has 2 afks, a poppy adc and a master yi support? GG OR REPORTED. Im not sure what makes our community think that obligatorily typing two letters suddenly makes you a better person, but im getting real tired of it. Im a bit of a realist. If it wasn't a good match im not going to say it was; apparently thats just too much for some of this games audience to handle.

Where do you guys stand on the "gg" issue?

The game that brought this about went as such: Their adc never connected, we trounced them. At the end my team didnt seem very empathetic, they all just said gg gg gg gg. I said "it wasnt a very good game, they had an afk" and my team proceeded to talk shit on me and say i was being a prick.

i have said that i did not enjoy a game many times.... an afk or 2 on either team can make a game less fun, and i try to let the other team know that it was a shame they had an afk if it happens to be on their team...

there is a difference in how some people say it and if it is a rager or something saying bg at the end, or blaming the loss on this person or that person... that is no longer explaining your disappointment in the unfortunate situation

I normally just say "Well that could've gone better" and then I add a frowny face. Usually the opponent is sympathetic, or at least understands where I'm coming from (such as an obvious afk or troll). That's if I feel the need to say anything. I just keep quiet and let it go.

Saying good game is less about saying "hey that was a good game and it was really fun and close!" and more about "hey thanks for the game". GG is more about sportsmanship rather than saying it was actually a good game.

A good game is one in where there are no afks, no feeders, and no trolls. If you have someone afk, someone who goes 0/10, or someone who is mega toxic, it's really not a GG.

heck if you say anything else but GG you get reported for negative attitude. I agree the whole GG thing is nice but I guess if it's not a GG then just don't say anything but have a nice day.

As others have said GG is a sportsmanship thing, its the equivalent to shaking hands after a match.

Like your specific case, I wouldn't say its being a prick to say that it wasn't a good game, but its just being hyper technical(don't be that guy, no one likes him) and imo misunderstanding the point of "gg".

I think the problem is if you say "BG" or "not a very good game" its not so easy to tell what you mean. From a winning it could easily sound like an attack on your opponents skill or something. People may be assuming that you are insulting someone when you don't say GG.

Trust me when I say, I hate this "It's either GG or you're toxic" bullshit. Everyone throws reports now. I said to a teammate a few games ago "We're losing because top did poorly against Irelia."

Nowhere in that statement did I say "Blah is bad" or "You're horrible". I simply stated a fact. It's IRELIA, at early ELOs she's difficult to play against. I didn't have an argument with him, I even said later on "I didn't mean to say you're bad or anything, Irelia is hard for anyone to handle". I STILL got a reported for it.

This game in S1 and S2 was awesome, before it was ridiculously popular. You'd get a few trolls, but generally it was just your every-day-gamers, who didn't resort to screaming at you anytime you died. Then S3 hit and all these kids moved from HoN and WoW to LoL, and suddenly we got stuck with at least 2-3 toxic people a game, and it was horrid.

S4 hit and the toxicity plummeted. It was still wide spread, but not nearly as bad, and then towards the end of S4, Rito went on a rampage about toxic players. They overcompensated and completely annihilated any person's chance of saying anything to anyone that could be seen as even remotely negative.

Your Teemo is 0/4 against Jax? Better not tell him to hug turret, he'll assume you're saying he's bad and you'll get reported.

Your jungle just try ganking your lane and died? Don't you do tell him to farm for a bit before ganking or you're obviously calling him a shit jungler.

Mid playing too defensively in team fights? HOW DARE YOU give him advice on how to secure kills and still escape. Enjoy your report!

This game has gone from toxic free, to toxic filled, to almost perfect, to League of Crybabies. It bothers me to no end that pretty much ANYTHING you say that you're just saying to help (Advice) and people report you for it, and the worst part is, people get PUNISHED for it.

Two DCs on your team and the enemy says "GG" and you say "If we had the other 2 it might have been closer?" Guess what, enjoy your chat ban, we all know it's always a good game no matter what happens, even if you have 2 intentional feeders and 2 AFKs. You should have played harder. Everyone knows that you can ALWAYS carry your team, even if you're playing Taric. Get banned scrub.

Please Rito. Please. Fix your broken system. People are punished more for going AFK or disconnecting than they are for bitching in all chat for 30 mins about their team and not helping their team. And even WORSE people who are legitimately just trying to help their team get reported even MORE because people can't take advice to heart and get mad instead.

GG is the handshake, so not doing it is kind of a dick move. If it were live and an opponent went to shake your hand after a match and you were like "nah, that game was butts lol," people would rightly think you were being an asshole. Thinking it is fine - saying it is another.
