First off, i dont say it, but i dont particularly care unless theyre also being an asshole or spamming it. In which case its more like an added prop to the report. So tell me, why do so many people get so tilted by this?
I hate that damn phrase. Like, no matter how it's used, it's still being a dick. Unless saying GG Ezreal, then it's OK.
But the way the game is, and how it's over in champ select 9 times out of 10, of course it was "EZ", you guys had 2 hard engage tanks that do damage with said engage, while CCing your whole team for 3+ seconds. How could it not be easy, all you had to do was stand there and auto thanks to tanks. Meanwhile my team refused to even pick a champ they've at least PLAYED more than 5 times in their lifetime. Like, no durr it was EZ.
Or my favorite, some troll decides to int, and be an all chat warrior. And then the person they fed has the guts to say GG EZ. Like, really? NOOOO, i wonder why it was EZ for you. Could it be someone literally walked under your turret 7 times in a row while all you had to do was auto them once? Definitely not that, nope. It was EZ because you are just that good right?
Sorry, i get salty when i read that phrase. You can tell a lot about someone by the way they win a match. A simple GG WP is all that's needed. No need to be a dick.
It's a meek attempt at bad sportsmanship. "I'm gonna be a bad sport, but I don't want any of the repercussions of it in game."
The way I see "ggez" is akin to how I see "Stay free" in the FGC. Only complete douchebags say "Stay free" in the FGC: Think of Lowtiergod, or Darksydephil when I say that only douchebags say that phrase in the FGC.
It's pretty much similar sentiments in MOBA games when someone says, "ggez", or any variant of that. It'll probably get the person who is saying it jolly off their knockers, but it makes everyone else not on that person's team feel like crap.
Another way to think about it (personally one that made me laugh because my friend told me about it and he makes a lot of things funny) is: Let's say you're eating cereal at home, and your neighbor rudely barges into your home, then decides to pee in your cereal, and says, "Good morning neighbor!". I'm sure many people in here wouldn't like that.
Personally, I tend to consider it along the following lines:
It's just an unnecessarily disrespectful gesture.
There is simply no purpose in doing so unless you just want to be an ass.
People get mad about anything you say to them, even if it's nice and trying to be helpful.
GGEZ
Hey, thanks!
It's unsportsmanlike behaviour, and thus reportable under "Negative Behaviour". https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/csKc4u0W-is-saying-gg-ez-being-toxic?comment=0009
It's simply a rude thing to say.
Mostly people seem to dislike it because the person typing that in all chat was the worst player on the winning team. Typically 3-11-5 vaynes, ezreals, yasuos and other ckiche/sterotype champs known for having obnoxious players.
I can't use an example that I want cause I'd get banned.
I honestly think that it would not bother people that much, but the fact that it's reportable, people report it just because they can. I mean, people who say it are kind of asses. It's just a jackass thing to say after winning. So since it is deemed reportable by riot, people report it, not because it offends them, but because it could get a jackass punished, so why not?
It doesn't make me angry, but it often highlights the ignorance of the person saying it. Two examples come to mind:
People saying ggez when it was actually a really close match, I can only hope they're joking. Close matches are somewhat rare so it's pretty odd when I see someone doing that.
People saying ggez during games where you had people int feeding or bots on your team. I had one game with 3 bots on my team and the other team had only one bot and they barely won. Each bot had 24+ deaths yet me and the other human almost won. Of course ""ggez" at the end. Good job I guess you barely won against bots.
See the problem with 'GG EZ' is that no one likes it, except the users themselves. In ANY game, saying 'EZ' is just the hallmark of being a douche in-game to those not on your team, regardless of how 'good' you are.
Scenario 1) Game has gone over 60 minutes, teamfights are very tied, objectives being taken on both ends of the game. After one fight that took what it felt forever to finish, the red team messes a key play up and they all die. Blue team rushes in and takes their base, spamming 'EZ', even after getting absolutely beat sometimes, and having such a long game, and having a hard time winning at all. Red team gets upset because everyone on the Blue team said 'EZ AF'. Why? Because they had fought for so long, and so tiredly, they made a mistake (remember, humans are things), and your team being your team decided to rub it in against them, and make them feel bad because you took it like it was 'EZ' (even though you knew it wasn't).
Scenario 2) Blue team has 2 people AFK after going 0/3 in their lanes, Red team pushes in hard because there's little pressure in those lanes, team starts collapsing and since they couldn't catch up to cover for the missing spots, they lose. Cue the 'GG EZ'. Blue team gets really upset because they were at a disadvantage and yet you decided to mock them for it, bragging your cheap Victory in their face.
Scenario 3) Bot lane on both sides are matched up, fighting to the death, heals going around, flashes too, Red team makes a mistake and dies to Blue team's ADC. Blue team's ADC flashes mastery and says 'EZ' even though they almost died themselves, and using both summs to barely survive. Red team's ADC respond in a negative way because they think you're being toxic, and understandably so. They start playing a little worse, focusing more on answering to the childish behavior from the Blue team (which is a mistake to not be made), and die more and more, everytime having the Blue team's ADC spamming mastery, repeatedly saying 'EZ' in chat. Things go badly from there, lanes start messing up more often, and Red team loses. Incoming the 'EZ game'.
See the thing is, if you know the game was tough as hell, or was a cheap win because people refused to play as well as they could or wanted to, or because you decided to screw up someone's gameplay by being unsportsmanlike, then you don't say 'EZ'. Ever. I sometimes see people saying 'EZ' in ARAM matches, where some team goes full assassin/tank and the other ends up with all squishy targets, and they get completely steamrolled not because it was 'EZ', but because it was one-sided. Or in gamemodes that are supposed to be fun, like URF, or Nexus Siege, or One-for-All.
TL;D: Don't be a dick and say 'EZ', because even though you felt it was 'EZ', no one likes people that brag/are unsportsmanlike. I, or anyone else, is not entitled to what people can say, but it'd be really nice to not have someone that went 5/12/4 say 'EZ' at the end after getting roflstomped by that Soraka mid, to then so happen to pick up a lucky Double/Triple kill, and proceed to call everyone trash as they did.
Instead of being a dick, suggest some tips to those that seemed to have a hard time, and tell them about those times they did really well, and to practice more to get better. And when I mean suggest some tips, I don't mean suggest them ways on how to commit suicide, for the love of everything good in this world.
I personally don't like it because it makes the person saying it sound like a douchebag. It's just being an ass for no good reason, and rubbing a loss in someone's face. I usually don't report people who say it, though, only if they were being a douchebag all game and not just "ggez." It's obnoxious and unnecessary, and it kind of makes you look like an asshole.
It's one thing if you say it ironically, but it's tilting coming from the 13/0 Vayne who got fed early and shut the game down 20 minutes in. Like, it's not enough they completely curbstomp you into the ground, they gotta add salt in the wound that basically says, "hey, I didn't find you a challenge at all! I'm so glad I had fun and you guys didn't, thanks for the easy win!" And people try to defend "ggez" by saying people are "too sensitive." These people just wanna be assholes and not get called out on it. They're the jerk jocks of the high school known as life who think that just cause they actually didn't feed for one game they suddenly have the right to treat their opponent like crap. To these people, I flip them the bird and wish them a long drive off a short pier.
TL:DR - "ggez" makes you look like an asshole, and no one likes dealing with assholes.
Disrespectful to their hard efforts.
Also it shoves the already tilted.
Discourages spirits, incites individuals and members to rage and spread negativity.
Unnecessary.
Whao i didn't catch this. This is a necro.
Please don't necro-post.
Because saying GG after a 4 v 5 is something resorted to by idiots... If the game was obviously skewed you shouldn't say GG and especially not EZ because imo that's gaslighting. The game obviously wasnt a good one becaause the sides were not even, or something went wrong to snowball it so it was not fun for half the players.
Most of the time I couldn't care less about post-game chat...but there are some games where it just rubs me the wrong way if I see someone saying "GGEZ". Regardless, whoever says "GGEZ" earns an auto-report from me(Yes, this includes teammates and even premades assuming they feel like trolling). It is just extremely poor sportsmanship and absolutely not needed.
I WISH Riot would actually punish this...
I get really tilted when people say ggez or just ez because ok maybe the game was easy for them but not for me, how can you be so inconsiderate and then brag about it. That's why it tilts me anyway.
I just report it whenever it happens, my team or enemy team, doesnt matter, if I see people throwing insults, i report them.
gg ez = I beat you and it was easy
League players are extremely sensitive.
If calling someone a %%%% repeatedly is not punishable, then ggez shouldn't be.
