If you say GG EZ you ARE a jackass

It's not being funny, it's not psychological warfare, it's not your right because you won.

You're a bad sport who is trying to make the other team feel bad, and you are everything that is wrong with the MOBA community. Saying 'Good game' (GG) after every match isn't mandatory, but it's a nice gesture that show you had fun playing against your opponents. Saying GG EZ is just being a big jerk and shows how fragile your ego is.

I get so frustrated and ashamed when I see anyone, even on my team, be a dick and type it in allchat at the end or near the end of the game. It's rude and condescending and should be weeded out at every opportunity.

EDIT: There are people coming on here saying "Oh get over yourself OP you just have thin skin, just quit playing online games if you can't take trash talk'. I've had people cuss me out and call me racial slurs, people insult me in every way imaginable at this game. But that's just them being toxic, do I have thin skin for hearing that every time I play a game? Saying gg ez or behaving in that manner is just being downright childish and unsportsmanlike and should be punished.

riot has said somewhere before that GGEZ is reportable but it would be better if they just went the overwatch route and made all GGEZ comments auto translate to insults like "i wet the bed" and "my mommy doesnt know im online." cause frankly thats all i hear when someone says it, doubly so if they say it after a loss.

But what if I'm praising the enemy Ezreal?

One thing I noticed about this, when someone writes "gg ez" after a game, its almost never any of the players who actually carried the game.

Most times its the 1/9/4 guy who got carried hard by the team.

Eh, I'll say it, but only if:

-we got absolutely stomped, and I do it as a joke -or if it was a really close game, and I say "ggez" as a joke, but I'll add in a "jk" after just to be sure

It's trash talking. Walk it off. He didn't even flame. I even trash talk sometimes when I start winning the lane to tilt opponents like you so I can have better chances of winning.

A lot of people here are responding with the "it's just a game" mentality, but the OP has a point. When you play a pickup game of soccer or basketball, you don't act like an ass after and make some snide, rude comment. Nor do you overtly throw the blame at others on your team and flame them when you make a mistake in the game, for that matter.

Look, I'm not saying that playing a game of pickup IRL and playing an online video game are exactly alike. However, they are both essentially competitive, team-based games you are playing with REAL PEOPLE for one objective: fun. Because just like in basketball and soccer, about 99.9% of us are not playing this to become pros, nor are most of us considering it.

Whether you are physically standing in front of another player or not should not affect the level of common decency you portray for a fellow human being.

Saying "gg ez" is just like playing a sport then after the game not shaking hands with the other team

Same. I've tried to dissuade people from saying that but a lot just don't know what a piece of shit it makes them at least seem like.

I report anyone that says it, be them on my team or the enemy. Riot has mentioned they are against it, so if the person has done it several times (which I usually suspect they have) then they'll fact the consequences.

The people who say gg ez know they are being an ass. That's the whole point of adding those extra two letters. And I'm sure a lot of us know that these people are asses with no gaming etiquette, but there's no real way of stopping it from happening. I actually don't see it typed that often though.
