What if someone says GG WP when the score is like 50v10?

That seems very bm imo. THis whole argument about "oh gg ez makes the person who lost feel bad". Are you for real people? Riot this is how people commit suicide, it's when their lives revolve around things, and when 1 thing upsets them they flip out and you know the rest. Happens on anything from social media like Facebook,Twitter to games like WoW, or Runescape. People need to stop being so butt hurt and learn that it's just a game, competitive for sure, but nontheless still a bloody game and not to get riled up like a 10 year old. I can't believe people are stooping this low.

If they add no context then there is absolutely no reason to read into the comment. The moment you read into it is the moment you add your own context, which may or may not agree with the person who said it. Intent matters after all, so don't go applying an incorrect intent.

Even with a score like that it's possible the game was close. Even with a score like that you can force the winning team to jump through a lot of hoops in order to win. "Good game, well played" does not mean it was a close game, or that you had a chance of beating the winning team. It means you did your best, they did their best, and regardless of the outcome no hard feelings are meant.

If the game went poorly for you and you did not do your best then feel free to consider it not a good game, but if you tried your best there is simply no reason for you to add context to a contextless comment.

Saying gg wp is the equal of saying "man that was fun, I'm happy that you made the game fun to play"

Whereas Gg ez is like saying "pfft why do you even bother to play"

Gg ez is the "Do you even lift bro?" of the video game world.

GGWP is more polite and can help other players be noticed for the good plays they did do. Regardless of score. This is sportsmanship since you are offering a compliment towards the enemy team saying they played well and that is was a good game (which sometimes it can be regardless if you're way ahead in kills).

GG EZ does nothing but rub it in the face of the other team. There is no compliment or praise for the other team for sticking it out or legitimately trying to win despite odds against them.

If you have trouble grasping this, just picture how you would feel if you were getting your diploma on the stage at your college, and the Dean refused to shake your hand because they think your degree is "easy" , despite how long and hard you worked to obtain it.

What happened to the days when saying it was easy in a competition, wasn't a sign of non sportsmanship. When someone told me it was easy and that I lost it game me motivation to try harder. Everyone is so easily butthurt now a days. Can't even leave the house without upsetting someone. As bluntly put as I said, it has to be said.
