Does GG EZ even do anything?

AR URF··10 votes·1,660 views

I think we can all agree that everyone has bad games. Saying otherwise just shows your bias.

So do people get punished for saying GG EZ? I reported numerous amounts of people for saying GG EZ and no one gets banned, yet you have youmuus from youtube who gets banned for going 3/18 tryndamere in a game.

They just worship ezreal and seem to think he is in every game. Weirdo's that should be avoided at all costs.

Ha no really, like the system is unfair. People who say "trash","garbage","GG EZ" seldom get punished for it.

Because those are very mild offenses.

What exactly defines a 'mild offense'? Who ranks 'kys' as a greater offense than 'f*ck you'? Does God? Which god? What about those who don't believe in a god? Does society? The society of which nation? What about smaller societies within the larger communities? You do realize the issue with attempting to classify an 'offense' as mild relative to another offense?

Apologies, this always triggers me.

Well in this case Riot defines it. And they already stated that GG EZ is considered mild offense and by itself it cant trigger a punishment, but can contribute to it.

As for your other question, community decides whats major offense and whats minor. For example Rioter recently gave example where mom jokes are considered by western community as just a joke and isnt offensive or punishsable , while by Korean(i think) community its considered highly offensive and punishable

The problem with the community defining things, is that the underrepresented minorities are often left voiceless. Sure, the majority of the western community considers your mom jokes to be a just a joke. But isn't it also true that the majority of the western community isn't suffering from depression and thus isn't likely to be encouraged to commit suicide from a "kys" phrase? We cannot weigh the impact of insults on anonymous individuals, thus the punishment that they merit needs to be of equal weight.

What are you bumbling about? Riot uses feedback from social media, forum and reports (you know when u type that little text when reporting someone) to determine what community considers minor and major offenses. If thousands of people report for KYS while 1-2 for mom jokes, then Riot determines which of the 2 are considered bigger offense by community.

But in the end Riot decides.

Like I was saying, because using a community consensus leaves the minority underrepresented, it is a poor indicator of the weight of each insult. Let me put it this way, of those thousands of people who report for "kys", which of them is actually suffering from being a suicide risk? However, the two people who reported for mom jokes are seriously likely to have been extremely offended or hurt. Yes, more social justice warriors or those convinced of their moral upbringing have reported the "kys" phrase, but the actual amount of mental damage done is about equal.

Its not about mental damage, its about intention to hurt. I know for example that telling someone to end their life might actually make them do it, so i wouldnt do it. While for example i find jokes like "Your mom is so fat she gave Vladimir a diabetes" funny, but if i offend someone i would apologize to him instantly. Riot doesnt ban cause of words, but cause of intention.

So it's not about the fact that someone died, it's about whether or not the person intended to kill them?

What about the people who are saying "kys" without the intention to hurt then? Should those people get a free pass?

Except noone says kys without intention to hurt. While mom jokes are widely used as joke. But again, Riot decided that KYS is extreme offense based on wishes of community, it all boils down to Riots decisions.

I mean it is decided on kind of a stacking system.

For example:

**chat log a ** player 1: leash blue please player 1: let's get baron player 1: ggez

This will probably get nobody banned because just saying ggez does not make for an extremely heavy punishment. Ggez does count toward a report but on it's own it is not enough. You must imagine it like a score system where 100 points is a ban and ggez gives you around 10.

If I recall correctly, only the last person who reports a player gets notified when they are penalized. It's completely possible players you've reported have been punished, but that you weren't notified for it. If you find players to be deserving of appropriate reports, you are helping by issuing the report.

I don't take sides either. I report teammates as well. I'll only tell someone they're reported when I've had a horrible game and the enemy says "gg ez" in that last 5 seconds of the game, because they know that their victory is made sure.

OceanicEyes1 votes

Personally I never tell the player they're being reported, as that tends to only be an incendiary action. I find if a report is necessary, it's best to report and move on.

You would tell them they're reported? Omg that's toxic. Reported.

riot said ggez wont be enough for anyone to get banned by itself but it could contribute to a ban if they were toxic in other ways.

An occasional ez wont get you banned.

Iirc they said that constantly writing it will result in a punishment.

I always report ez, but can't ever recall seeing a notification of punishment. It's these "mild" jerks that make the game slightly less satisfying. Unfortunately, RIOT seems to think "mild" jerks, are effectively ok, because there is practically no punishment.

Lets be real here, the types of people to say "ggez" are probably going to get banned for something else anyways. They aren't the brightest bunch of people.

I try to always treat other players with respect (or at least kindly). Now sure "gg ez" is bitter to swallow, but I shrug it off. Maybe you should too. It is NOT that big of a deal. Also, if I see someone act way too cocky in the game, it makes me want to crush them that much more. And oh how fun it is if we do win. (all game long they kept saying "ez! gg noobs!" so when we won, I confess, I laughed and said "gg ez" right back at them.) Unless someone really insults, griefs or intentionally feeds/afks, I don't think that a report is necessary for typing "gg ez"

For me, the funnest part of this game is tilting the life out of my opposing laner and if I can manage to tilt the whole team then even better. I won't type in all chat but i will do subtle shit like spamming my mastery emote (which i have keybinded to the scroller button on my mouse) and laugh for a good minute on dead bodies even if it costs me my life, and making 1v1s really close (when they really aren't) and make sure I survive with less than 100 health just to really fuck with you. And after spending 30 mins of that, I assume the enemy is pretty riled. Mind you, at this point I still probably havnt touched all chat. Now, if I see the team responding to my actions then I know I got them and that's where I really turn up the bm, up until the end of the game where if we win i will make it my duty to say "gg ez" because if at this point i havent made you afk you at the very least must be extremely tilted. Before I say gg ez i just imagine this person whose been mad as shit probably slamming into his keyboard and shit... So after i type gg ez i figure this person has gone complete ape shit and probably (hopefully) damaged his setup, the thought of which brings me absolute joy. NOTE: I only do this when I can tell my opponents are probably less skilled then i am and I only do this in aram and normals.

TLDR:

If you're the type of person who gets really mad when someone says gg ez, then I thank you. You're the reason I can still enjoy this game. : ^ )

Because in real life, no one would mess with me really. Maybe when I was younger and weaker, but now that I'm older and stronger. I don't mean to brag, but to be blunt I'd kick their ass and I'm not all talk.
