If shadder2k's broadcast today was any indication, people will spam GG EZ just to see these lines now.
Blizzard's about to get Streisanded.
Yeah, and I enjoy it.

Blizzard's about to get Streisanded. It's funny because they already experienced this with "Well Played!" in Hearthstone, which they switched out for "Wow!".
not sure if that's how it works
Pretty sure that's why the exact messages they came up with are so much less ambiguous and largely self deprecating.
Oh okay. I mean, that's fine, more power to ya. It's just that it doesn't even matter and Blizzard isn't going to take action on some dude saying ez. But whatever makes you feel better I guess.
Why? Do people really get that bent out of shape over such a benign insult?

It's not that it's a big deal, douchebags are everywhere. At the same time, nobody wants to deal with the annoyance of hearing them, you know?Lol this is great. I didn't know so many people took it that harshly, I always take it as a joke and it's really an admission of game was hard, get a chuckle and move on. If I did get stomped and it was ez it doesn't bother me at all.

Its like seeing somebody tossing their fast food trash outside of their car after eating. It's no big deal, just an asshole move that deserves to be made fun of.

Is GG Ez a common shit post in the overwatch community? I'm guessing ggwp and similar are still okay?
Gotta agree with this. Blizzard has over-reached here.
If I get stomped, a mocking "gg ez" is something I both accept and deserve.
That's pretty insane actually, I play a lot of CSGO and don't really see Ez spammed a lot.I have played for over 80 hours and I see it at least once in every 3 games or so.

Like I said, spamming "gg ez" and such is lame but what can you do
You can filter it out and replace it with insulting self-owns, or you can just chat restrict and ban those people!
Like it's not rocket science, if a behavior results in consequences people will do it less.
Absolutely, I was more just talking about community "trash talk" that I personally find more upsetting and disappointing.
Using homophobic slurs and throwing personal insults around is not just "trash talk". That's the sort of thing people should be reported for, and people do get banned for being abusive.
And then there's the Streisand Effect. Blizzard has taken this meaningless phrase that people say after games, and turned it into something that needs to be censored and suppressed. That of course will only make people spam it more, and find creative ways to get around it, and think of different ways to insult people.
How can an insult be benign?Why? Do people really get that bent out of shape over such a benign insult?
Yeah, but that doesn't account for irony. "Well played" was used ironically/sardonically as well.
I have never seen or at least taken a "well played" to be meant ironically. I actually take and give those as a genuine compliment. If someone played so bad that he might as well have been the sole reason why our team lost then I tell him, but in a way that doesn't sound like his a piece of shit, but a person with untapped talent.Yeah, but that doesn't account for irony. "Well played" was used ironically/sardonically as well.
I am actually part of the problem.
