"GG" (PSA)

Games is 0 to 0 kills at 8 minutes. let's say i'm top laner, I make a mistake and am too agressive amd get ganked, as a result I die. I open p chat to say something like "My b, sorry" seeing as I just gave first blood, but just as I am about to press enter, another player types into all chat "GG" I stop my hand, move it up to buttons, and erase my message. At this point I am silent.

O run into this once every other game, wither on my team or the enemy's team. One death, one, without getting a kill first seems to make far too many players seem to give up, just like that. Why? Sometimes These players go further and start bashing me or a teamate after that one death for every mistake. Idk if this is just a silver thing or it is everywhere but I ask that this please stop.

One death =/ game. Two deaths =/ game. Hell, even death 3 in lane is not unwinnable in the slightest unless people give up. about half the time someone on my team says this to me I end up carrying the game. I am a pretty agressive player so early game I test the waters with my enemy laner, somtimes it works and I start of lane pretty well, other times it backfires because I made a mistake or they were able to counter me and i die, these first few moments are not what decides if I am a good player or not. If I die three time, go far into lane, don't ward, and blame my jungler, then It is my fault and I am a bad player, but when I have 2 deaths, play under turret, and three people gank me killing me with slivers of health left, what else could I have done? (Please note this is very simplified and situational)

Point is, saying GG over one or two deaths is annoying, childish, and will distance players from eachother in a match. Please just stop if you do, understand that the first 5 minutes will not give you all the information you need on a player's skills 98% of the time.

TL;DR: Don't say "GG" until a nexus is dead.

EDIT: Okay, So I now understand i is a meme, but if you are a player who says this seriously, everything still applies.

Note that I don't do this but from my experiences talking to people who do do this I can say that usually they don't mean it. It is basically just a LoL meme at this point. Note that most people who say "GG" over one death still keep laning and playing. Don't take it as them giving up or being rude, It is just a bit of humor that only half the community finds funny and doesn't translate well in game.

Of course there are exceptions to this but in general (though I know it can be hard sometimes) don't take it as them being negative, if anything it is often people trying to make light of a negative situation so in a weird way they are actually trying to help.
