I asked someone who wrecked as Kalista (21/5) why she said GG EZ after the game.

Backstory:

I just got out of a normal game, we surrendered at around 25 minutes. I was Rengar, and was slowly clawing my way back from an abysmal early game. Kalista on the other team had gotten two quadras before 20 minutes. It was a stomp. I think my final score was 15/11/5.

We surrender, the GG's come in, then Kalista writes GG EZ.

Admittedly, I'm an easy guy to put on tilt. I know I should just move on, not let another person's words linger or whatever, but these kinds of things make me quit league for the rest of the day. I suppose my self esteem issues IRL really mess with me online (I have serious problems with anxiety and depression that comes and goes, and I am certainly in the middle of a flair-up) and so when someone on the other team is being toxic it tends to sting me a little harder than I know it should.

I was wondering if there was any reason why the kalista on the other team wrote GG EZ in the end screen. "Is there any reason to write GG EZ other than making the other team feel bad?"

Kalista's response: "The Game was easy for me. I won. You're trash. Suck it."

I laughed. I'm queing up for another game.

Somehow, seeing the immaturity in the response reminded me we are not on equal levels of development. Yeah, I know it is pretentious to presume this Kalista's age and level of development, but what I saw here was a child, or someone who never grew out of childhood, attempting to taunt someone they beat at a video game. What I saw was the primal urge to make yourself feel better by putting others down, that we see in orangutans and chimpanzees.

To win a game is skillful. To congratulate your opponent after losing, or honor them after winning, to encourage rather than put down, that is maturity. And League won't teach you that, as wonderful as it is. Life will.

Rant over. [slayer-jinx-catface]
