I say "gg ez" at the end of a game and get called toxic and perma-banned. Let's hope this doesn't ever happen to me. Remember kid, being proud of a win on the internet will land you a spot as the antagonist and you'll get your money thrown in the trash!

##Show Humility in Victory, and Grace in Defeat

'To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals is courtesy, to inferiors is nobility.' -Benjamin Franklin

Having a great game is one of the biggest joys that League of Legends can bring you. But always bear in mind that when you're relishing that landslide victory there is someone on the receiving end that is probably ripping their hair out. While it's alright to celebrate, make sure that you keep any gloating (or any other mode of self-indulgence) out of all chat. Instead, thank your opponents for the game. After all, despite their best efforts, they just made you a very happy person.

Moreover, if you've just lost, avoid pointing any fingers or deploying excuses. Even if you had a great game, it's not alright to blame your team. You had five opponents in that game, and - seeing as you just lost - chances are that they had something to do with it. We all know that losing can be frustrating, particularly if it's a close game or one that's completely one sided, but nobody likes a sore loser. Instead, thank your opponents for the game, and take a moment at the end of game screen to ask what you could have done better. If you're polite, you might pick up a few pointers that can help you counter your opponent's strategy in the future.

The ones who are banned didn't lol. A wise man once told me that the ones who brag and gloat over their victories are the ones who do not win enough to know it as a normal occurrence. Let them celebrate today, for tomorrow will not belong to them.

Nice philosophy bro

That "wise man" was actually a big sore loser.

Your point?

dont say ggez

You're basically bad mouthing the other team, saying they have no skill and it was easy to beat them. Of course that's mean and deserves to be reported.

BudgetMessiah1 votes

What if you lost the game, and you're making light of the fact that you were badly beaten?

Narsicus2 votes

Like with most everything else said by people, the context matters. That being said 99% of the time people say 'gg ez' at the end of the game they are just trying to badmouth the enemy team after a win.

BudgetMessiah2 votes

If the context matters, then why is a script arbitrating these matters, and why is all context scrubbed from the reports that players are given?

DJColdCutz1 votes

What are you talking about? Context doesn't matter in league. If you are the instigator or the one retaliating, you (allegedly) get punished the same.

ModWulf Helhammer1 votes

I highly doubt anyone is going to report you for saying that if you got stomped. It's quite obvious you're joking

My Sea Cow1 votes

It hardly ever means that. And I doubt people will report if the losing team said that. It's the winning team...but regardless. It's not good sportsmanship, which is what Riot wants to promote

Rickon Stark1 votes

It's an expression of ironic humour. No need to cry over 4 letters.

My Sea Cow2 votes

It's not ironic humour and you very well know it I'm done talking about this issue because I won't feed a troll any longer

So if you posted your chat logs the only negative thing in it would be gg ez?

BudgetMessiah1 votes

That's literally all people were able to say I was negative about in my case, so...yes.

dapositiveviking3 votes

people told you most of your chat was negative, you refused to believe them

Its not just the saying, but the connotation that it has in online communities.

Shroom Junkie6 votes

Saying "GG EZ" is the equivalent of saying "lol enemy team you sucked" so yes, it is considered toxic and ban-worthy, just like its counterpart would be.

Rickon Stark1 votes

I don't get your analogy one bit. It's pathetic and retarded how people are offended by that.

Shroom Junkie2 votes

So if somebody said "Wow you fking suck you fking ck sucking b*h you're so bad you piece of s**t" you wouldn't find it ban-worthy? Well, saying 'GG EZ' is essentially saying "LOL ur so bad we won so easy noobs"

At this point I don't even think it was "GG EZ" that you said. You sound so toxic I'm glad you were banned.

BudgetMessiah2 votes

B-but...My fee fees!

KEEP YOUR HATE SPEECH OUT OF OUR GAME! KEEP YOUR HATE SPEECH OUT OF OUR GAME!

What about your 3 other punishments?

Rickon Stark1 votes

I didn't even get banned.

Draven Always2 votes

The bigger problem is that riot obviously cares more about banning toxic chatters than banning trolls who intentionally feed and stuff like that

Caytheles2 votes

Right?

Caytheles2 votes

To be honest,people who get Triggered by the NOT EVEN WORDS "gg ez" are just weak... i mean ive had some pretty easy games due to the enemies sluggishness... so i deserve to say it... Its like calling someone African America... instead of Ni@@er.. both are intended at the same phrase but one just isnt that bad.

You aren't allowed to say anything that may, possibly, maybe, have some potential to hurt someones feelings. Passive troll for days but DO NOT USE CHAT!

cuddlykitten41 votes

I personally enjoy the ones where they barely won because of one mistake your team made in a teamfight and just happened to get the nexus as a result even though the score is 53/18 in your teams favor. There's always that one "gg ez" guy. I always read it and think "yea, that was anything but easy for you XD" I always get a chuckle from it. Also, in terms of reporting that (I never do because it doesn't bother me, just curious) does that fall under verbal harrassment or the passive aggressive on used for griefing that I can't remember the name of?

BudgetMessiah1 votes

You seem really triggered by people who say "ez". I've made a point of saying it in literally every game I play.
