"GG EZ" - Can we please do something about this childish crap?

BlueBilberry·Sep 9, 2018·10 votes·3,226 views

Getting so fed up with players who end the game with "GG EZ" - regardless of whether it is on my team or theirs. It's so juvenile and disrespectful for the 10 humans who have to play the game in order for these children to get their jollies. Can we at least bring in a solution like they have in Overwatch (where the phase is changed to something like "my mummy is telling me to get off the computer now")? The honor system change when it came in was nice and it cut out a lot of nonsense.

But can we at least get an indication that the "GG EZ" types will at least get chat restricted or punished in some way? It's so sad that this part of League toxicity still is allowed to exist.

Not really. It is promoting something simple- it's called sportsmanship. And it has been in all games and sports since time immemorial.

Stop trying to force the world to be your perfect paradise and let other people live their lives. Its just words, its not hurting a damn thing. Stop trying to ruin other players actual lives because you are upset that another person won the game and was a sore winner.

You people have already ruined enough of the culture, please stop trying to limit freedoms more.

"GG EZ" is culture? That's cutlure - as in manners, politeness and sportsmanship? Let's be frank: yoghurt has more culture than that.

People having playful jabs at each other is culture. The way you people try to ban everyone for any little thing that annoys you is also culture. I like the playful jabs over you trying to ban people because you don't like something.

I'd honestly rather have someone give me death threats online (because they arent going to do shit about it and they're just mad) over a bunch of angry league kids trying to get me banned by riots AI any day. Your kind of people who pretends to be more righteous than other people just because you pretend to be on the side of morals. All you're actually doing is ruining other people's lives because they made a single game uncomfortable for you because you forgot the damn mute button.

If gg/ez worries you THAT much YOU people can type /muteall.

Stop making others cater to you. It gets old.

Mute all does not cover post game chat, btw.

Spear of ZeoniaSep 9, 20184 votes

You sure can mute people in post chat if you wanna, and if you're that heart broken over text you probably shouldn't have an internet connection.

I'm not! But thank you for assuming things you know nothing about! I just remember season two where I was given death threats and didn't care and now here we are where saying ggez is too much for people. Its seriously pathetic that speech is SO limited in this game.

i agree its not that big of a deal, although quite annoying when they spam it over and over, but i think your response to this guys opinion was a bit overboard lol, if anything league related ruins somebodys lives, they have a major problem, and i dont think a a chat restriction has anything to do with freedom, you need to stop using those words so loosely

I have visited multiple threads where people try to justify taking away MORE chat freedoms from the players. Decent people are being banned in droves and the holier than thou community continues to act like its normal behavior to be 100% cordial all the time. Its not. We're all human. Im tired of everyone trying to get everyone banned. We all want to play. There's tools to mute people. Besides threats and extreme racism/bigotry there should not be a permaban or a loss of merit-based rewards due to chat.

I'm so tired of it.

I'm honestly pretty emotional at the moment, so I've been on a rampage through the forums and looking for stuff like this to object to. I'm livid. I hate this community's mindset. The general population wants to have the world cater to it instead of letting everyone be themselves and muting/ignoring those they don't like.

I'm sorry if I was rude to you, I haven't nothing personal against you, I'm just upset at the world right now and the angst is at a 10/10 lmao. And yes, over a video game, I get it, but jesus man, I loved this game and I don't want it to die because of hardcore white knights and their sense of superiority.

Actually i agree with you 100% on this comment, i've seen many friends get chat restricted just for responding to the actual trolls/toxic players, but it seems people get banned/restricted more often for defending themselves than the people doing the actual trolling, and myself included, i got a chat restriction one game for saying "what the fuck, why did we ff????" because i got placed with a premade the decided they would report me because i wasnt at a teamfight that they lost, and i was a super fed katarina in that game, on my way from base lol, easily winnable. but yeah dude the game is at a point where you have to let the trolls.toxic players do what they want, because you'll get punished for responding or reacting to it whatsoever

GG Ez is not big a deal compared to actual toxic behavior. Lmao. That's the equivalent of reporting someone for unintentionally ksing.

The thing is that it is tantamount to rubbing salt in wounds. If you've beaten the other side, then why would it be appropriate to try and provoke a response in the poor side who lost?

I don't believe they are trying provoke a response but just kind of enjoying the moment of victory. What I would consider rubbing salt into the wound is when you tell your enemy ahri gg wp and they respond with "gg don't play talon ever again, you're bad lmao."

Because it's like damn, I won't deny taking an asswhooping, but to play a champion that takes smashing your hand on the keyboard to win and then acting like you're better than them would piss me off.

All of it though is basically negativity. The difference between a "haha I win" or telling someone "you are trash", is splitting hairs in terms of determining what sort of talk/chat causes people to tilt and rage. Generally, most players agree that it is wrong to discourage people from playing the game. What is curious however is the vehemence that we see from some people (or possibly just one or two people with multiple accounts) in this thread in their lack of willingness to admit the truth of some very simple ideas.

Like I've said on a few other posts that's just the gaming community as a whole it seems. Honestly, I could argue the type of behavior you are witnessing goes beyond just the gaming discourse. People seem to only want to believe what they feel is right and ignore any other type of argument that is against it even if it sounds legitimate and well thought out.

Also, looking at it from another perspective, I can see how it might affect someone's gameplay if after getting first blood they immediately type in all chat "gg ez" when it was the first kill and more than likely by extreme luck. That's pretty annoying. But post match, I guess you could report em for it, especially if they keep saying shit after it talking about how horrible you and your team are. Otherwise I disagree slightly.

You want to be careful doing that. It hints that you could be intentionally feeding or have a negative attitude and weren't trying. And it has been taken as evidence of such in the past.

I do think it should slow honor progress. It implies the enemy team did not earn their win.

I really don't get the big deal with ggez. I'll say it every once and a while, always after stupid long games where I fed super hard and got carried as a joke. What about ggez ruins the game experience for you? It is literally one of the most tame things anyone can type in league.

i can understand it can be irritating but the game is over.

MasterDCloneSep 9, 20181 votes

A post about the phrase ggez comes up every few months with people defending both sides and no resolution every being made. I occasionally write ggez depending on the game but generally i just put ggs, Personally i dont see what the problem with this is because their is nothing toxic about it aside from being unsportsmanlike, thankfully league isn't a sport so i dont see why i should give a crap about this.

I feel like saying gg ez should be acceptable to say otherwise everything will be construed as toxic and soon nobody will be interacting at all in game which would be a big loss in my opinion, also if people have this big of a problem with toxicity they should just mute all everygame if saying gg ez is toxic for you. Now before you respond with :" but it doesn't mute post-game", i just want to add that, that should be implemented and that, that should be you problem to be resolved

they're not offended, they just want to get as many people banned as possible.
