Amazing. I only ever type it ironically. Usually after someone leaves after a minute and the match never starts.

 

[pigeon]

Good change. Will cut down on my reporting people.

 

[Chaser324]

Hard to believe people would get even remotely angry at randoms saying something as simple as gg ez

Maybe next time be good at the game?

That's a lovely attitude. I'm sure everyone loves playing in a match with you.

 

[TwoDurans]

Won't more people type "gg ez" just to see what comes up now?

 

[Killer Queen]

We need this in league of legends

 

[sixghost]

ez game ez life

There's three pages of people saying this is a good idea. If "gg ez" offends you in an online game chat, I don't know what to say, because I've seen shit more offensive than that in games since middle school.

 

[Seth]

what the fuck is gg ez

 

[suzu]

I've seen way worse than gg ez, so it doesn't really bother me. But kudos to Blizzard for changing it into a humorous thing.

If you wanna really bm people, go with emotes/sprays.

Why not promote a positive sportsmanlike atmosphere though? I don't see how this could be a bad thing.

This turns a negative statement into a funny thing.

I wouldn't describe the phrase as "offensive", but I'd certainly call it bad mannered and irritating. I doubt many people would call for someone to be banned just for saying it, although many of the people that would say something like "gg ez" would probably be inclined to other troll behavior.

 

[RRockman]

Where is "gg no re"?

 

[frontovik]

Can people still type "Good game, too easy, get good"?

They said good game, what more do you want?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Please help me find my way to solo bot mode.

 

[maouvin]

Can people still type "Good game, too easy, get good"?

Yes. Even just "ez". "rekt" goes free too. Only "gg ez" is filtered right now afaik. Baby steps.

 

[Piers]

Will it filter just gg as well?
Edit: Ah.

 

[valkillmore]

Never heard of this. I would have expected to come across it once before in Rocket League

 

[Deadbeat]

that smiley is even worse than gg ez...

;^)

 

[KingBroly]

I don't get why "gg" is a bad thing nowadays.


I'm not a fan of them sending fake ban messages to players for using it.

 

[| Praxis |]

 

[CalamityPixel]

People get annoyed from gg ez? That's kinda pathetic.

GG is not the same as GG EZ.

That's what is pathetic? Not feeling the need to insult your competition on the way out the door after you've already won?

 

[Octavia]

No offense to this, but when I play competitive games online, the other team at the end of the match going "get rekt" or the million variations of that are generally not the problem].

The problem is my team, who incessantly fight amongst themselves, whine, complain, or in the case of people I've partied up with that I know IRL: get visibly mad when the team loses. So much sarcastic "good game!" emoting during matches when a teammakes makes a mistake or gets outplayed.

Nothing's worse than a bunch of sore losers, especially if they've been shitting up the entire match. Getting roflstomped and poked at shouldn't hurt your pride, it's a video game.

 

[GalacticToast]

I usually just type in "ya'll trash"

The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner. Especially when it's a win they had to earn every step of the way, an hour long 5 game affair they won at 99%/99% overtime with a clutch play.

 

[Skyzard]

That's hilarious... kudos.

"ez" is just being a bad sport.

 

[Brutalitops]

They should filter all replies after 'gg ez' to show as 'TRIGGERED'

 

[Boogalogist]

LOL...i love this initiative by Blizzard. Wonderful!

 

[213372bu]

gg ez in an unfair tie-breaker is the best though.

How am I going to get the other team to type like mad?

 

[imBask]

People get annoyed from gg ez? That's kinda pathetic.

and you know, throwing your opponent off his game with a simple 4 letters, not spam, just one small "gg ez" could be considered as mindgames. I am NOT okay with my #1 tactic getting nerfed

 

[Jebusman]

Isn't this going to just shift the standard troll chat to something other than GG EZ?

I'm personally fond of GG NO RE

 

[Eila]

gg 2ez
Trolls always one step ahead.

 

[dity]

Blizzard just keeps delivering.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Good change. Will cut down on my reporting people.

You report people for saying "ez"?

 

[SuperAndroid17]

I usually just type in "ya'll trash"

this

 

[Qvoth]

people wanna act immature that's their choice, you got mad at it it's your choice as well

 

[Kaizer]

what the fuck is gg ez

Seriously, had never heard the phrase before today. As I can see from this thread though, apparently it was a big deal.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I'll just type these in and it'll filter it back into "gg ez". Hacked.

 

[shiftplusone]

I dota I often say ez when the enemy team stomps us.

gg ez mid when I was bottom lane support on the losing team

 

[Deadbeat]

GG is not the same as GG EZ.

What about gg :^) ?

Edit: it's the nose that makes it so potent.

 

[Eila]

Seriously, had never heard the phrase before today. As I can see from this thread though, apparently it was a big deal.

It's commonly used in online competitive PC games for a few years now.

 

[SOR5]

What about

Spoiler

gg easy

 

[Clint Beastwood]

I don't get why "gg" is a bad thing nowadays.

because usually only the winning team ever says gg while the losing team is too salty to respond

and that's how gg became a bad thing.

 

[dity]

What about

Spoiler

gg easy

Too many letters. You could end up seeing the results screen!

 

[Skyzard]

I say gg when I had fun but lost all the time.

But gg ez is just savage.

 

[pigeon]

You report people for saying "ez"?

Yeah, and I enjoy it.

 

[ISOM]

The only time I've used "ez" in a BM type of way was after the other team was BMing all game and trash talking as if they had already won the game because they were up big. It was never sweeter than to BM the BMers after a comeback.
