What "GG" Means

"GG" means a good game is complete. It does not mean you played well. It means nobody got hurt, nobody got fired, and nobody died. It's the way to let everybody know they just played a game with someone who understands sportsmanship.

And to all those players adding the "EZ" to completely ruin the point of typing "GG"... Yes. Yes it was "EZ" because this is a video game. If it was hard for you then you try too hard at things. If you type EZ then your head is MT. Get clues please and stop making yourself look bad.

The real meaning of "gg" is "git gud".

/ I kid.

"gg" is a preprogrammed response at this point.

most people just forget what it means, and when people say it after a game that went 30-4 then they are actually being quite insulting

But if they don't smugly put you down, what will they have to think about later when they're touching themselves?

Seriously... I think it's shitty too. But if you expect the GIFT theory to ever change, you're kidding yourself. People are just assholes man. That 16 year old who's plat friend carried him is GONNA spam his mastery all game and put "GG EZ" at the end. If you get mad about it, you're just giving him what he wants... your rage and your attention.

Just ignore the idiot and realize that anyone who gets their jollies preening and posturing in a videogame isn't worth wasting the time to even respond to. Just go on to your next game and if you're upset about the fact that that player's douchebaggery isn't punished... remember that this is league we're talking about. The borked matchmaking will eventually put him against someone else JUST as rude, immature and obnoxious as he is who will stomp his nuts into the ground and BM him about it. Unless you're fighting some insane pro-level challenger player who never loses his games... that dumb kid is gonna get his face ripped off sooner or later by someone better/cheaper/more overpowered than him who will spill the same rudeness he thinks is cute to give others ALL over him. And he'll rage too...

So don't get upset by dumbasses and their smugness or their lack of basic human decency. Laugh at them. Because when the game does what it does best and shoves it's fist into their backside with a feeding bot lane or a camping jungler or something... they'll deserve it. It's not like any of this matters anyways... it's a freaking game. No sense getting mad over it, or over the little pecker who's preening because he happened to win one of the thousands and thousands and thousands of matches he'll play in his life.

Um... Adding your own definition to something doesn't change what it actually stands for.

Whenever someone says EZ I just reply with "Ezreal? Where?"

i dont mind gg, and GG is fine (although i tend to see bm players use caps on it) but if my bot duo went 0/27/5 combined, don't insult me with fake sportsmanship as if everything is hunky dory. it's like watching the chicago bears play football against the childrens team for Tom's school for the blind, deaf, and limbless. I'll honor enemies that give me the "sorry bout the feeders"

I'm a big fan of saying GG regardless of whether or not I won.

It's a sign of sportsmanship and good competition.

Also, there are people I recognize that spam GG EZ in arams and that makes me less inclined to help them when they're on my team and save all of my cooldowns for teammates who are more sportsmanlike or if they end up on the enemy team, it makes me want to target them more because the typical person who says GG EZ tend to be the ones who rage more when they're doing poorly and get tilted.
