GG EZ

Scythren·Dec 16, 2016·11 votes·2,493 views

I currently played a game were a person decided to end the game in all chat with ,"GG EZ". No, we did not have Ezreal on our team. I don't know how others feel about this, or if anyone really cares, but I do. I'm not salty, though that is usually what I hear from winning teams. I'm not upset or going to cut my throat over what someone says on a game that has rules like the "Summoner Code", but then thinks unsportsmanlike conduct is "Ok". However, I would like to recommend you either revamp your "Summoner Code" or take it down completely. Like in life, you can't be kinda pregnant, kinda kill someone or kinda nice. The fact that you allow things like this with the excuse of ,"But you can mute them" is stupid. It still allows that behavior. The fact that you are ok with taking my money, but not cleaning up your product....sickens me. Appearantly, you riot, like to allow harassment and bullying. I would like to post what I put in the comment section of your report user window:

"Said "GG EZ". I know you don't care about this crap, riot. But some people that might have actually played sports and understand what it's like to try really hard and fail, then get smashed by the other teams comments, might care. Fix your crap, riot and stop allowing crap like this to happen. Otherwise, you will lose all sportsmanship in your game. Which at that point, just get rid of the summoners code."

PS. I understand that this will be met with either a copy and paste style of comment, or I will be redirected toward another thread. Or maybe, just maybe, you will do the same thing that you always do and ignore the problem. Eitherway, Have a nice day.

It is already considered unsportsmanlike and is a punishable offense. Report it.

Hi,

I was saying "ggez" and "ezpz" early season 4 (before it was cool) and have been doing so each and every game with absolutely NO EXCEPTION. I can say with absolute certainty that you do not get punished for it. In EVERY game I play a few people catch those pesky feels and threaten to report me for it, so I'm convinced it's getting reported.

So, with that all laid out. Can you explain why you would want to spread the misinformation that you're spreading around as true?

Nice anecdote you got there. Shame if someone were to provide some real evidence;

What's the behaviour team's standpoint on "GG EZ" being used? Is it seen as a reportable offense or is it not negative enough?

One of our philosophies is to try to not dictate what's OK or not OK in League of Legends unless we absolutely have to. We rely on data like Reports, Honors, social media, the Instant Feedback System and Tribunal to help determine the standards of what the community believes is OK or not OK. This is why all of our systems are intentionally designed to be community-driven, because we want players to have the ability to invest in and shape their own community. In saying this, looking at the data, "GGEZ" is considered a negative term, and is reportable. Players generally agree that the phrase is rarely used in a positive context, and is a pretty sour way to end a match. -Riot Lyte

While I'm sure you think you've crafted a dandy reply, I will continue to do what I do with no punishments. Anectdotal or not, it's been my experience with the situation long enough to convince me it's the truth. Btw, your "proof" simply says it's reportable, not punished lol. Sorry that it tilts ya off the map lol

I think I'll trust the word of someone who works on the game over some random player who's gotten lucky.

Lyte and DTM were both fired and XOMP is correct. If you say ggez every game and get reported a lot for it nothing will ever happen.

That being said, grow a thicker skin Jesus. There is no way you played a sport at a high level and get tilted by that as you claim.

I was dumbass and did that too on season 5, got chat restriction for 75 games after few weeks, so it's punishable.

Thank you for the info, I'll continue to do so.

ProxknightDec 16, 20165 votes

I agree to me its just classless. Im all about win with class and lose with class. This whole gg ez thing even bothers me when my team says it after a win.

GoleBilonDec 16, 20161 votes

its a simple phrase and trashtalk, if it bothers you it should be your problem. This way we will never have trashtalk in games and many people enjoy it. I agree that in some contexts it might be negative and may tilt you , but in most cases its just " gg ez " when 2 letters are " reportable " everything can be. next time sbd will ask me to ward i will tell him its toxic because he questions my game knowledge too. Grow some balls and stop being insecure. Its a game its meant to be fun and being better than someone as well as trashtalking them a little bit is fun , in soloq and in competetive too.

ProxknightDec 17, 20162 votes

I just don't agree with the classless attitude. I don't like to talk trash i think its a rude thing to do. doens't mean that its going to stop i just don't like it so you can get angry all you want. it won't change my view.

ProxknightDec 17, 20162 votes

Class as a person period. just because you have an on and off switch doesnt mean all of us do. And now you are resulting to calling me names because i do not agree with you? Just because i do not agree with you doesnt make me "stupid" and i dont think I have to justify the size of my testicles to you either. So we can agree to disagree. But that will probably make you angry too.

GoleBilonDec 17, 20161 votes

im not even angry, but sorry if you put it in one sentence " i felt offended when enemy team said E and Z in the same word in the end of the game " it sounds stupid as fuck , i agree it can tilt you if smbd spams it during the game but little insecure kids like you feel offended by everything. Also i can bet you did not say to whoever said it " i dont like it can you plz dont type it " no you just reported him so it wont actually teach him anything , he will have 0 idea you felt offended. Im really curious how people like you are still living on this planet when outside of rito comfort zone nobody will give a fuck if you feel offended or not.

ProxknightDec 18, 20162 votes

The problem you are making right here is that you are assuming things about me without even knowing me.

First: I don't get offended by everything i just think "gg ez" is unsportsmanlike conduct that is a pet peeve I have. I never liked it and never will.

Second: More times than not I actually do say something along the lines of hey that is unsportsmanlike can you please stop with that stuff. and often i get flamed for just saying that.

Third: I have been living in the real world and you are assuming (again you are assuming) that I'm a special little snowflake because i don't like when people say "gg ez" no actually I deal with a lot of stuff i don't like but that doesn't mean I cry about it and sit down and quit. no you don't know me so please stop trying to assume things.

I feel like a broken record trying to explain to you all this time. we can agree to disagree, you don't think its harmful and that is good for you. to me i think its classless. it is my opinion. so stop trying to tell me how I'm a "Insecure kid" in spite of this whole conversation i wish you well and i hope you have a successful season in league.

GoleBilonDec 18, 20161 votes

"dont get offended " yet still you're wasting time on writing about it on boards. Not gonna call you stupid , this word became to small for your case :) people like you care too much about what is written in chat and before you say " you assumed i care , and i dont rly care " you wrote fucking elaborate about it on boards you obviously care to the point it annoys you . it is your problem . People like you make this community worse, its a game you should be able to trashtalk and banter with each other. So if you still care about it plz uninstall cause its best way for you to avoid seeing GGEZ . PS ggez

ProxknightDec 18, 20162 votes

Well i guess this comment proves you are one of the classless lot. Character, there is no on or off switch i just found out a bit about yours. And it is not people like me that ruin the game it is people like you. Truth hurts.

GoleBilonDec 18, 20161 votes

classless ... you never met me in a game you just made assumption , thing is i like to have fun and banter with opponents is fun. you are the offended one that instead of not taking part in banter reports others. Easiest way for you to avoid things you dont like is to mute a guy who says smth that offended you or you consider classless. But you cant do it, you want to report a guy and get him punished either chat restricted or warned, because what he thinks is normal and banter offended you , you think you're better than him because you do not like EZ in the end of the game. Thats pretty hilarious how 2 letters can give you an idea who other person is, thats a big assumption from your side. Thing is not everybody has the same idea about what "gg ez" means to you. Yea transcription is the same good game easy. but not eveyrbody meant it as "suck it you noob" , trashtalking exists in every sport ( league too ) so get over it. Every normal human being can agree with me that you are oversensitive guy if you care this much ( not only you said you report those guys but you also wasted like 30 minutes combined posting here ) if you are insecure and you think everybody that wants a little fun and banter with opponents just /mute all in the beginning of the game and enjoy your Classy Teammates being polite and chill with you :) nobody will ever say gg ez to you ever again , nobody will have fun trashtalking with you , you will never argue with others as well as you will have the only person you consider right in chat, yourself :)

ProxknightDec 18, 20162 votes

Here is the problem I'm not making an assumption. On this whole thread you have been insulting me because of my preference on how i don't like when people say "gg ez" that talks about your character. you think it is ok to insult someone that doesn't agree with you.when someone says "gg ez" it is saying pretty much "you guys suck it was like I never even tried." and more often than not yes i do mute toxic people so i don't have to listen to them doesn't change at the end screen. If riot says its a reportable offense than guess what that means it DOES narrow on the unsportsmanlike side of the conversation. so yes i will report for it whether they are on the other team or not and i will ask them to please not speak that way. either way its clear you are not understanding where i am coming from. and i can see where you are coming from only problem is i just do not agree with you. have a nice life.

I always report for unsportsmanlike conduct.

KVbqbFsC8eDec 16, 20164 votes

You're being oversensitive. You shouldn't let two letters affect you so much.

ProxknightDec 16, 20164 votes

You simply don't get it.

KVbqbFsC8eDec 16, 20164 votes

You're simply either new to the Internet, competitive gaming, or super sensitive. So, which is it?

Papa AndreiDec 16, 20163 votes

You missed the entire point of the argument.

Study psychology and specifically the effects of verbal abuse and bullying on adollescents. WHen you have done so, and still have the same opinion feel free to speak.

KVbqbFsC8eDec 16, 20163 votes

So we define those two letters as "verbal abuse" and "bullying" now? Please, don't make me laugh.

ProxknightDec 17, 20162 votes

none of the above i can not like certain things with no reason behind it just that i don't like it i don't need to explain to you or anyone else. so you can get angry all you want but it won't change my mind.

KVbqbFsC8eDec 17, 20161 votes

Sure, you can believe whatever you like. But if you think that "ez" constitutes "verbal abuse" and "bullying", well... you're going to have a very hard time once you enter the real world.

ProxknightDec 17, 20163 votes

I've been in the real world pal i know life isnt sunshine and rainbows. All im saying is that i dont like it. Why is it so hard to understand? I dont think it equats to bullying i feel it is more unsportsmanlike. We can agree to disagree at this point.

ImAHeroForFunDec 17, 20164 votes

Riot has already said this is a reportable and punishable offense...

what do you mean you cant be 'kinda nice'? thats nonsense of course you can. and in the same way, all comments are not either good or evil. most of them are in a grey area between.

KaiokoDec 16, 20162 votes

I don't believe it's sportsmanlike so I will give you that much and you are by all means free to report them if that will make your conscience feel better or allow you some form of cathartic release for losing the game.

That being said - this on it's own is by far not enough to even give someone a chat restriction, and to be quite frank, I don't believe it should affect you as much as it seems to.

PlanetWarwickDec 17, 20162 votes

Holy I don't understand people like you. The games over and Yes ur salty

ScythrenDec 23, 20161 votes

I don't understand people like you who obviously are the problem with society as a whole. The type of people that didn't play a sport and don't understand what it means to have sportsmanship. Perhaps your parents failed you, or maybe you only had one raising you. Guess that was their mistake. I'll stay salty. Doesn't matter to me. But by the sounds of your name "PlanetRekt" I'm guessing you're not a planet or that Rekt doesn't refer to you. So, I'm guessing you're the type that says "GG EZ".

PlanetWarwickDec 24, 20161 votes

Actually I used to play mine craft and there was a joke about being a planet minecraft mod so I called myself planet mc mod. Then later a ton of kool kids put rekt after their names so I did too. And I give money to the homeless while you take money.from the homeless

ScythrenJan 5, 20171 votes

I take money from the homeless? What does that even mean? Are you trying to imply that I steal from homeless people? What does you giving money to the homeless even have to do with your narrative? The fact that you say that "a ton of kool kids" put rekt in their names, so you did it too, makes me think you are a sheep/follower... which kinda implies you really don't know yourself.... so, I'll repeat your words back on you and let you self reflect a little on them.

"Holy, I don't understand people like you" and I doubt others do either.

You're right, I can't deny that. There isn't any sportsmanship in this game anymore.

It comes down to over sensitive people yes!

But Not the way your saying it ! It should and is made to fit the vast majority of the game and not individual who want to start problems!

Let me make it clear, those who abuse and try to bully the way are the : Over sensitive people! Yep, if anyone thinks you have the right to degrade players in-game then I am talking to YOU!

No one has the right to make people feel bad on propose ! Ever !!!

DrehirthDec 18, 20161 votes

You really wrote all of that and still try to claim you aren't salty?

ScythrenDec 23, 20161 votes

I am salty about it. I'm salty that kids that play league appearantly didn't play sports on a team and don't understand sportsmanship. So yeah, I'm salty if you want to put it into that context. The game I could care less about the outcome, win or lose. Call me satly that you think that it's ok, from what I assume from your question.

nerak23Dec 23, 20161 votes

First: I don't get offended by everything i just think "gg ez" is unsportsmanlike conduct that is a pet peeve I have. I never liked it and never will.

I don't have a big problem with "ggez", other then it is a way for others to be a Jerk. While it doesn't offend me personally, I still agree it should be a punishable offence...There is No good reason to say such beside if one were being a Jerk... Here is where I have a major problem with it!

Why say it? It is offensive and you don't have to be a snowflake,sissy, riot- lover. kiss ass or add most terms I read or anyone can think of to offend others opinions by it.

Just No Need to say such a disparaging thing to others when you are playing a GAME with for about less then 60 mins. !

In Fact, I can't think of a good reason to degrade someone on the board for defending the Fact that it is Not allowed and will be punished eventually.

Get used to the fact that saying "GGEZ" and whatever the next 'term' turns out to be, it is going to be punished because Most people adhear to the rules and don't try to avoid them by making others feel bad.

nerak23Jan 5, 20171 votes

Funny Thing my Dad was a merchant Marine, He told me the word salty to his men meant basically this:

"Shit, wave hit me and it's saltwater what a pisser I'm mad" ... ( Yes, I'm really simplifying it, and I realize that ) Trying to make a point.

Nothing intentional and got mad.-- That the word means something else now yet it means the same thing, Shit someone -took my lane, my kill, my minions, my honor>> Screw that now I'm mad and going to make everyone pay for it!

This is a reason why "GGEZ" is not tolerated or liked.
