Seeing a lot of threads about "gg ez" being toxic.

do you think you should receive a chat penalty based off of JUST "gg ez" ?

i find myself able to take it with a grain of salt, since im probably more focused on why we lost.

Hey just a suggestion go to the comments ive posted and read a good amount of them. Only times i might come off as toxic is after i was insulted or called typical names that the community uses to put someone down. I will admit i have a dry sarcastic mind and alot of that can be taken out of context. However a strong debate with someone isnt toxic and ill admit ill argue the counter point cuz people are sometimes bias in there complaints over issues and wont see it from both sides and that could be looked at as argumentative. Also people are quick to bitch moan and complain nonstop over stupid issues. Also alot of what i post is meant in humour however when people are already narrow minded and tilted it just makes them more so. You will also see me defend the game and others from toxicity and be harsh with the ones who are toxic. Majority of my mindset is its a damn video game to relax and enjoy it.

Good debates are so freaking fun. One thing I like doing sometimes with friends is to play devils advocate just to see how well I can do. I hear you when it comes to out of context stuff on the internet since there is no real way to tell if someone is 100% joking.

Respect is a 1:1 ratio, someone wants to go "GG EZ" at me at the end of a game or be an ass in general I'm gonna treat them the same way.

this is real fucking toxicity right here: brand is dc'd so jinx cant push lane, xerath mid is getting solo'd by ahri.

im already fighting my fucking hard counter in pantheon (im gp) who camps me? zac! i die under turret 4 times in lane and suddenly im the biggest pos on the team. like wtf am i gonna do? im under my turret, flaming and bitching by people doing barely slightly better, who didnt even have jungle pressure.

then of course you look at their recents and they went full fucking feedlord 10 games in a row.

ill take gg ez over this shit any day.

no tribunal notifications tho! go figure.

TwinkiePro3 votes

Different level of toxicities. Your question is binary: Is gg ez be report-able? The question isn't what deserves to be reported most, but whether terms like this are acceptable or reportable. Yes your situation is toxic, but so is ggez.

GuaigaWaruiDesu4 votes

Let's just cut the shit people, the reality of gg ez is that it's a basic abbreviation of passive aggressive communication. It not only implicates hospitality through the initial "good game" but counter acts this through a demeaning "easy." To a competitive fan base this is demoralizing, nothing else.

it only actually annoys me if they dont shut up about how they are smurfing.

then it can get under my skin.

Only Play Darius3 votes

I actually like when people tell me they're smurfing, makes me feel less shitty about getting crushed in lane by them

DrCyanide2 votes

I think it depends on how they go about it.

Some people are like "lol, you're all so bad, stay Bronze noobs" while others are like "Yeah, it wasn't really a fair fight for you, I'm smurfing on a new account on my way back to Diamond." You feel like you can actually learn something from the latter, while you just despise everything the former stands for.

Especially when you are the first person to be decent against them.

I roshamboed against a high plat / low diamond elo OTP Chogath as Illaoi. Got stomped, harassed by teammates. They told them I was the most skilled in their team, straight up.

Isn't labeling communication passive aggressive, a little passive aggressive / negative in the first place?

Wh1teWu1f3 votes

If we ban people for saying ggez, then we'll more than likely be banning people for using their mastery emotes too... this madness must end somewhere.

it be lìke that2 votes

not "ban" but chat resitrction/suspension ?

"tribunal punishment" does not only mean ban.

Wh1teWu1f2 votes

Even then, it really is pretty radical. I can 100% understand people being told to kill themselves or being called racial slurs and such, but the idea that you're honestly offended by the letters ggez is ridiculous imo. If someone can't take that, then I wouldn't be too surprised if they were offended when someone calls them bad, in which case, they'd need to really reflect on your ego and stop letting such little things bother them.

it be lìke that1 votes

valid points.

Kosm1K2 votes

Yup yup, the only time that I find gg ez annoying is when they say it in games where someone is, afk/dc for a long time/the entire game, on my team and the enemy team just lucked out

BladeSteel3 votes

Well chat restrictions turn into bans...

WhiperSnapers3 votes

should "gg ez" be punished? probably not. should it receive the same treatment that overwatch has given it? undoubtedly.

the statement has absolutely no positive aspect to it since it is used 99.999% as an insult, so why not replace it with something thats bound to make a few people laugh?

if someone kills you and flashes their mastery but follows it up with "I'm wrestling with some insecurity issues in my life but thank you for playing with me." or "It's past my bedtime. Please don't tell my mommy." you are going laugh and it gives you the option to joke around about it where as before when someone said "ez" there wasnt really a response that didnt result in a flame war.

Astôlfo1 votes

The downside is they spam it anyways and you know they mean "ggez" but now you get walls of text from each few sentences flooding your chat instead.

Dracocrash2 votes

I think the tribunal should specifically punish people who taunt in all chat by simply banning them from all chat.

This way the player cannot use all chat to harass the enemy, but he can still communicate with his team.

6Sfool1 votes

Its a form of taunting, and its the worst form I can think of. If they make a flashy play and it works out i get if they want to shout it in the chat, but if they say gg ez in the end, it makes you question your existence in League. I'm one to say gg and be sportsmanlike even if we won/lost 20-0, just because I've been on the other side of it.

Narvuntien1 votes

Typically I report people going "gg ez" when it was a tough hard fought game because that is bad sportsmanship, we were just engaged in a great game and you go and ruin the respect I gained for you during the game like that.

If it was actually easy I'll let them get away with it since it was ez a statement of fact not of taunting.

Jesus is Savior1 votes

If I can be banned for saying "don't forget to report our 0/55/0 intentional feeder, he was also abusive in chat, ty" then yes, "ggez" should also be bannable.

Until the rules are more relaxed on EVERYTHING ELSE then this phrase should not get an exception.

No Yellow Norco1 votes

I personally don't think it alone deserves punishment. But I also don't let petty things bug me. I'd personally rather rito focus on getting the trolls outta the game first, since they are causing the overall problem of "toxicity" in the community.

Vistha Kai1 votes

I find "gg wp" after a one-sided game way more toxic than "gg ez" could ever get.

At the same time using "gg ez" after a long and even game is basically a joke, so you shouldn't get offended by that either.
