Kind of said it right there. Now I know what most will say... "Don't be a baby" or "Stop crying" but GGEZ is just as toxic as any other BM out there so I think that maybe it should be taken just as serious for bans. Just my thought.
EndlessSorcerer144 votesI believe that it is unnecessarily disrespectful and counts as a form of negative behaviour.
It is already a punishable offense.

higura59 votesit already is bannable offense, it goes under point 6 of the SC:
Show Humility in Victory, and Grace in Defeat 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.
i would also like to quote a Community Coordinator on EUW named RoniBoo who posted this back in 2012 on the topic:
Hello StrokeZ Paragraph VI of the Summoner
s Code says : Show Humility in Victory, and Grace in Defeat http://na.leagueoflegends.com/articles/The_Summoners_Code Saying "gg easy" is very discouraging for the enemy team. It is an example of bad sportsmanship and a clear violation of the 4th paragraph of the Summoners Code. Please bear in mind that you can enjoy yourself, but not at anyone else’s expense.

AeroWaffle57 votesUnsportsmanlike? Sure. On its own and not used often? Nah, not worth banning over.
But the types of players that say "ggez" usually has more damning behavior to punish for.
DarkRitual3 votesLow grade offense, takes many times to get a chat restriction, and escalates as normal.
EndlessCycle2 votesI concur, "ez" didn't even use to be a bannable offense way back when until Riot created a stance on it. Now people are just nitpicking to get more and more things to be "bannable offenses". My friend is level 187 in Overwatch, and he ends every win with "GG Easy game" just to see if Blizzard does anything to punish saying that, no one's even complained about him saying it. I'm not condoning it, but the difference in how one company spoonfeeds its playerbase compared to the other is definitely there.

You're aware Overwatch has no reporting system right?
If your friend ends every game with GG EZ I hope to God Bliz implements a ban system and he's first in line.
Unlimited Chill10 votesYou can report people in overwatch...right click their name in chat. Report player is in the menu that pops up.
NicolasTr37 votesIt's unsportmanlike behavior and obviously toxic attitude toward people on the League, so i beleive yes it's worth the report/ban. I personally report every player caught writing '' gg ez'' no matter the team, enemy or ally, and during game or after game.[zombie-brand-clap]

What's your matter ?
Goodest Gamer9 votesmy matter is im tired of all of these holier than thou league players spamming their "this guy made me sad so i reported him guys please honor me im holding the TOS over everyones head" threads and comments.
this game used to be less toxic when people like this didnt exist to remind everyone they have no fucking maturity and remain bending over for a company that turned this games community into a "fuck the people using profanity in their everyday lives and LETS INVITE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE YET TO GROW A PAIR OF BALLS AND SPAM REPORTS " piece of shit dumpster. if u were here s4 u would know what it was like to actually be able to say fuck u without getting punished. theres a mute button for a reason

BeatzBoyFTW15 votesSomeone got triggered.
But hey, unlike some people, at least I never got myself punished for being dumb enough to talk crap [slayer-jinx-wink]
Goodest Gamer1 votesdont reemember getting triggered but its you so some things you say are bound to make no sense.
the last punishment i recieved was a perma ban on one of my smurfs 4 months ago. ive yet to even get a report warning from that time. [slayer-jinx-wink]
look down and tell me what you see :)

Welp, that's a bummer. I could have seen your permanent smurf thread sooner :(
But oh wait, what's this? Your above comment got deleted by Riot, I wonder why? Now that's what I called "Step 1 to permaban" [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

But hey, if it's something that offends people, I'll take my punishments like a man ;) I'll let Riot decide to delete my comment or not.
EDIT: Oh dear, another deleted comment. So excited to be in Step 2, aren't you?
BeatzBoyFTW5 votesIt's actually disgusting that you find what you type to be legitimate . Enjoy being a poster boy that has no use but to bait fellow moronic riot living idiots on a game site
Says a guy backing up another who also happens to have a "Raven" in his name. Smurf much?
Aeszarck12 votesSeriously, what the hell is your problem? Why do you need to be so angry? If you are against "gg ez" being a punishable offense, fine. Argue it. Don't attack people who are argueing for it though. That's disrespectful. You want to know what else is disrespectful? Lying about committing suicide to guilt trip BeatzBoyFTW, and reporting a user for a non-reportable offense. Do you think people want to see people like you on the Boards, flaming other users? You contribute nothing to discussion, and instead you're focusing on making a person feel bad because you don't agree with him/her. You are abusing the Boards, and you don't belong here. You don't belong in game either - Riot gave you a permanent ban for a reason.
DarkRitual16 votesIt's basically saying "you guys suck lol." Of course it should be handled that way when it's said with that intention. When someone says "ggez" and it's ironic (they went 0/8/1 and lose), it should be seen as a non-issue since the intent is purely comical.
So basically, it all comes down to intent. With no other context, and the player having said nothing at all in all chat otherwise, I would assume it's done for the first reason I mentioned, so yes. It's not funny, and it's only intended to tilt people or get them riled up. Don't be a baby, sure. But don't be an asshole either.
FearEngineer6 votesThis is the league community, north america server. People don't know what intent or context are.
SmokedAlmonds14 votesIt is already confirmed to be negative by the punishment systems. A lot of people, in my opinion, way overexaggerated its severity. Calling it bannable is technically true I guess, but imo misleading. From what I have seen it is a drop in the bucket, like most individual things. If the only thing you ever did wrong was saying GGEZ at the end of a game I doubt you would ever be punished.
It just happens to be a common thing people who are otherwise negative say. It typically also happens at the end of the game so it is fresh in peoples minds which probably makes it more likely to be reported.

BALDG1VEN BOOMER8 votesPersonally for me I'm not triggered by gg ez but it does show a lack of sportsmanship imo
Too old for this10 votesPeople get offended way too easily now days. Just move on to your next game.
Pr0Meister9 votesEh, might as well chip in.
As far as offenses go, ggez is pretty weaksauce. There are plenty of waaay more hurtful insults that need to be weeded out first: racial slurs, death threats, rape threats etc etc
BUT! (And that's a big but, think Irelia)
GGEZ is as unsportsmanlike as it can go. That's the equivalent of spitting at your opponents hand at the end of the match. This isn't trashtalk. Trashtalk is during or pre game. This isn't the funny kind of Trick2G disrespect to make your opponent tilt this is the kind of disrespect that makes the coach slap you behind the head and make you go back and apologise.
So IMO it should lead to chat restrictions and repeated offenses to banning. Cause, ggez hotshots, try to remember that at the end of every boxing/tennis/football game the opponents shake hands for a fucking reason, you incosiderate twats.
StoneyBaloney5115 votesagree %100, after a football game 1/2 the guys go and bro hug the other team, there is no reason for gg ez. but there defiantly is way ore hurtful things.
KING OF MASKS9 votesYou people are fucking insane. That's all I can say.
Yes, "ggez" is a shitty thing to say during or after a match; it's unsportsmanlike conduct condensed into four letters. But is it "as toxic as other forms of BM"? No. That's a complete, total and utter lie. You have players calling others autistic, calling them %%%gots, instructing them to commit suicide, and yet ggez is on par with all of that? Fuck off with your hyperbolic nonsense.
Should "ggez" be bannable? I thought this was a joke thread when I read that. How fucking sensitive are you that you need to retaliate with a ban (either temporary or permanent) when someone throws four letters at you? It's already against the Summoner's Code, and it can stay that way. But making it banworthy by itself is absolutely laughable.
I'm going to get downvoted into the dust, but this circlejerk has to be interrupted.
Jet Sett8 votesI feel the most you should get is a chat restriction, it's toxic yeah, but doesn't seem ban worthy.
Womp1238 votesI mean, yeah gg ez is very annoying to deal with, but to ban someone over it? Not so sure. I mean, there is always going to be that person, sometimes you just need thick skin and ignore it. Tilt happens because you let it happen, not because someone else tilts you per say.
macromite7 votesNo, saying ggez isn't worthy of a ban.
Malfini7 votesUnsportsmanlike? Definitely! Bannable? No.
Obungo 6 votesAnyone who takes ANYTHING people say on the internet, a damn video game in this case, seriously, then you should not be on the internet..
Honestly, "toxicity" is only a thing because people refuse to press the mute button and because people actually care for some reason. Like damn, its probably some random fat ass going type warrior because he has nothing better to do.
So no, GGEZ should not be a bannable offense, there's no reason that anyone should take GGEZ seriously. If you get triggered by GGEZ then go back to minecraft.
Valor Bot16 votes{quoted} Honestly, "toxicity" is only a thing because people refuse to press the mute button and because people actually care for some reason. Like damn, its probably some random fat ass going type warrior because he has nothing better to do.
False; toxicity is only a thing because people choose to behave that way, otherwise the mute button probably wouldn't exist (and quite right, there'd be little need for it).
Obungo 4 votesWhy should anyone care how random plebs act on an online video game?????
Valor Bot15 votesThat's not the claim I'm trying to make; I'm just saying that toxicity is not the fault of those who refuse to mute, it's the fault of those that choose to be toxic to begin with (that, in turn, cause a need for the mute button to be there in the first place).
Chroud6 votesIll first state that I am not a trash talker and it doesn't go with my play style. BUT
If GGEZ hurts your feelings i'm sorry that you were raised in this new era were we give out trophies for trying and can no longer play dodge ball at recess because its dangerous.
(JUST BRUSH IT OFF)
The best sports players have respectful trash talking skills.(It can be used as strat to tilt you and he beat you)
Richard Sherman Gary Payton so many more.
as long as its not Racist or life threatening and doesn't particularity point out a single person it shouldn't be made into a big deal.
/rant from a non trash talking player who has fun and chuckles at peoples creativeness.
Unpaladin5 votesYou know, out of the many "Banned Player Shaming Simulator" threads on this forum, I can't say I've seen someone come here to say "GG EZ" got them banned/chat restricted. When a similar deal to this does happen though, there's always some hidden malicious intent that the player was hiding that Riot shows everyone. Those threads are a fun read. I'm SURE there's an example of this somewhere that I haven't seen though, which is pretty funny.
Overwatch has this kind of discussion too. Looks like this is actually a big topic/concern. Abolishing a saying filled with nasty intent that may either be to gloat or jest might do some good. Buut I'm also on the fence since it's a four letter meme text that some players do indeed say after every game. I laugh at it when I see someone joke around or get overzealous with it. What a bizarre situation.
