What's happening to sportsmanlike conduct??

IcyPeppers·Jun 4, 2016·10 votes·1,206 views

What's up with all the small children running around saying "gg ez" at the end of games. And I don't mean the I-just-lost-so-to-be-ironic-i'll-say-ggez kind of people. Those people are homies. I mean the actual wing nuts that think it's okay to say it after winning a game. Like, congrats that you won, I'll be humble in defeat. But there aren't many professional sports where you see people taunt like that; it's just rude... And I know there's gonna be a bunch of men and women fulfilling their duty by saying "gg ez" in the comments here, but for real. Like what happened to sportsmanlike conduct??

Edit: I'm really ecstatic about all the positive/constructive feedback. I really thought people would brush this off and troll.. Thanks guys!!

I don't care if it's banable or not I instantly report anyone who says that.

I would and I'd be very happy if you got banned.

Same. Especially if the enemy team got a troll and one of my team mates says it. Like come on man we just got a super easy game and they got steam rolled..but you don't have to rub it in by being an ass.

Exactly it's rubbing it in. They act like they're so much better than you when usually they aren't.

Agreed

The entitlement crew who get trophies for participating and think it's cool to insult, flame, and rub it in. Think about it. When you get rewarded for participating, and you're never really told how to act in IRL, you're going to think everything you do is perfectly acceptable, even if it's not.

I'm with you. Sportsmanlike conduct is slowly going the way of the dinosaur and Dodo, like common sense and courtesy.

Right?? It's all reward-punishment style psychology. With nothing in place to "punish" someone for bad behaviors, it only reinforces it happening..

Kids are out because of summer in America.

Probably why.

Could be worse. I'll take that over some of the things people could be saying. I just had a game where between 3 enemy team players they dropped 40+ N words, woman degrading slurs, and homophobic slurs. And that was in 10 minutes before I muted them for the other 15. Then they continued afterwards, as I was writing a report, but using all the same kinds of slurs, but worse context and directed at me instead of my friend. I do agree tho. There needs to be more accountability for this

Oh for sure. I wasn't trying to say that "gg ez" is the worst out here. For sure people who do what you mentioned are way worse. But imagine if players who were unsportsmanlike were spiders. It doesn't matter if it's a big spider or small spider, YOU BURN THE GODDAM HOUSE DOWN

It's cocky kids who think they are funny, or they are trying to be funny.

I have not found a single person who says that to be funny at all. They tend to be jackasses in the game, and even in the postgame. It's unsportsmanlike and I always report it, even if it's my own teammate. It's a shame that if someone reports too much, even if it's legitimate, their reports don't matter anymore though.

But games should be fun, don't you agree?

I almost never say gg ez, unless it was actually a really easy game for one of the teams and ended quickly (mine or theirs) what i really hate is when you are one of the few with a decent score on your team, and the teammate who lead your team to defeat by going 0/ 8 /2 says "gg ez". i mean... if i said it would be a little stupid, but it wouldnt be a lie, it was easy for their team. but the guy himself. who played bad as f??? saying that . really? if you were trying to be funny, you failed... Another thing i hate is those guys who flamme for nothing a few days, in a gank (i was j4 jungle) i ganked our very low hp mid and took both kills, their mid and jungler who showed up (2nd was nt on purpose) and he simply spent the rest of the game sitting on the base or feeding (he ended 0/10/4. ) and flamming me on caps lock. Oh... and btw. i , as well as our adc, carried the gtame to victory. You think our mid swalloed his pride and said anything... "WRONG". Our top complained a little at beggining cause he believed what our mid was saying but then he realized i was helping the team winning the game and said sorry . But not our mid... he simply kept trolling and feeding, he didnt farm a single minion anymore. Dafuq is this shiit? If yuo are playing bad as f??? and not playing safe and making team lose. you dont deserve to be flammed, but you kinda understand. Now.. this was a different scenario. I was pulling my team to victory, playing well. and this guy flammes me. He flammed me for playing well. Dafuq??? I dont get it. whats the point. It doesnt even make any sense.
