A Thanks to Riot - Regarding "GG EZ"

Barduax·Jul 9, 2018·6 votes·1,816 views

I just wanted to thank you guys for allowing us to report these people. I think part of what makes that so infuriating is that there is no way to get through to a person like that just how toxic they are being. I have a bit of a temper, and every once in a while after a real bad game, someone saying that could make me... not fun to be around for a while. But having a way to help them understand it's not cool, and hopefully prevent them from doing it with chat bans... it feels like you can finally retaliate. So much stress from that situation is burned away instantly. ~~So again.. THANK YOU!~~

Edit: Looks like riot doesn't actually even chat ban for this even when repeatedly reported. So I'll sit back and watch the community dive into oblivion while playing fun games without toxic angry children.

I think it's a huge over reaction from the community, how do you get stressed by someone saying "ez" lol Punishments for toxicity should be limited to those who are wishing cancer and telling people to die, to put those two kind of peoples in the same group is pretty ridiculous imo

It's about making an environment people want to play in. This game has the nastiest community I've ever seen tbh. And what exactly do you think the point of saying it is? It's not respectful or productive. Just because it's the internet doesn't mean what you do has no effect.

Well you're more than welcome to live in your own world where everyone is respectful and productive by muting everybody, otherwise stop whining about other players behaviour when it's optional if you see it or not.

I do not want to stop playing league or think it's an unhealthy enviorment because somebody said "Good game, easy". I find an enviroment I don't want to be in when somebody tells my parents to die. You are treating them as the same case when they aren't, friendly banter which is what "GGEZ" and "lol ur so bad" is.

But again, you're more than welcome to mute if you dislike the community. Anything you feel is self-inflicted issues. You cannot treat somebody who stole a grape and somebody who committed murder with the same amount of punishment.

it's not banter if it's negative behaviour, by definition

Banter is the art of using word play, opinions, exaggeration, irony, sarcasm, and other comedic themes to (playfully) humiliate, make fun of, and laugh at your friends. if you use insults, slurs and are generally being a jerk then it stops being banter

Me and my friends roast eachother all the time and say "lmao just banter bro chill" It's probably a bit more chavvy over here in the UK, i don't quite know how NA goes around banter but we should be able to find the common grounds that saying "ggez" isn't punishable the same as "kys" is.

A french volunteer (Philidia) made an experiment. He tried to get punished for saying "gg ez" with an alt account. After numerous games he hasn't been punished.

Tantram stated that it was toxic and can contribute to a punishment, however Philidia's contact, a Rioter that wanted to stay anonymous, stated that because the only toxic thing in Philidia's alt's chat were the "gg ez"'s at the end of the game he wasn't going to get punished.

It's fair to state that saying "gg ez" alone won't grant you a punishment but it can contribute to being punished if you're also toxic in other ways.
