I've pretty much lost count on how many times I've seen people use this asshole of a phrase. Whether it's on my team or on the enemy team people still have the nerve to act like a boasting proud winner.
Yup. My friend made a smurf to test this and the only thing he said after every win was GGEZ or "So easy i thought i was fighting bots" he evenyually did get hit with a chat ban for "Unsportsmanlike conduct"
So yes, it is punishable.
On the scale of 1 to toxic, this is very mild. However mild it is though, it only takes me like 3 mouse clicks to issue a report. I report each and every single ggez be it on my team or the enemy. With 3 mouse clicks I will add this to their toxic meter in term of frequency and who knows, this one might just be the straw that broke the camel's back and trip their toxic meter over the line to punishment.
Do report each and every single ggez (takes like 5 seconds for 3 mouse clicks). Trust me, it will add to their toxic meter regardless of how mild it truly is. 5 seconds, not a big loss to you whether it trips the toxic meter or not.
Yes, it does contribute to punishments.
As for report notifications, you only get those if your report is the final one that gets them punished. Unfortunately, that makes them quite rare, something I think Riot needs to improve on (for instance, Blizzard sends an email if your Overwatch report led to a punishment, which I think is a much better way of doing it)
Ya it's unsportsmanlike, but it doesn't affect gameplay.
It is punishable but by itself is highly unlikely to result in a punishment. Generally though the people who say "ggez" are also saying other more rude, mean and disrespectful things to go along with it.
the people on this thread make me lol.
you are either the type of person who is so fragile that some kid typing 4 letters gets you upset, or you are the type of person who isnt upset but just likes to report people for stuff.
either way you are going to have a hard time in life
I think it is because it's deemed unsportsmanlike. Doubt it's anything serious though but I can easily understand why it would bother you
Suck it up
it's the height of idiotic insults and makes me irrationally angry, but it's unlikely that it will actually get reported...I share your frustration.
It is slightly annoying seeing someone who doesn't deserve a win saying "ggez" after, but it doesn't really do any harm to anything. Especially if that is one of the few things they say in the game, which is how it usually is. It is not really toxic and they could probably be reported a million times for just saying "ggez" at the end of the game and not even get a chat restriction, so no it probably isn't a punishable offense.
