here's a video of it in practice on the PTR

this is hilarious and probably the best way i've seen to counter this kind of behaviour - though i hope they'll filter ggez, g g e z, gg e z, etc as well. way too common at the end of the game.

lock if superfluous i guess? think this was funny enough for a thread

 

[SoulUnison]

Love the idea, but those "fake ban messages" are a little cruel.

Are they a typo?

The last couple entries on that list seem out of place.

 

[Uiki]

This is just sad.

I still don't know if the kids are the ones writing "gg ez" or the ones getting butthurt from it..

i think those are all new strings added for text so those will only appear if you've actually been banned.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Awesome!

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Amazing.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Well played, Blizzard.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lmao

 

[MadSexual]

Haha, these are great. I'd love to see Rocket League follow suit.

 

[Nibel]

This is hilarious

 

[Subterranean]

This is brilliant.

 

[woxel1]

:chef kiss:

That's wonderful.

 

[Shredderi]

Haha this is amazing. Go balls deep and have one guy think of all clever ways of typing it.

 

[| Praxis |]

This is great. I hate online gaming lingo, especially ez.

 

[truestatic]

Nice.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I'm wrestling with some insecurity issues in my life

😅😭

 

[jediyoshi]

This is just sad.

I'm sure you'll find a variation to get around it

 

[Mechazawa]

I don't get the "Custom Game Members Can Invite" one, but the rest are pretty good.

 

[Ferrio]

Astounding!

 

[4jjiyoon]

i could really use a hug right now :'(

 

[Majine]

But just ez is ok?

Ok...

 

[Hylian7]

I'm sure you'll find a variation to get around it

In Dota 2 I often see "gg izi" or just straight up "gg easy"

 

[Tabby]

Blizzard, thank you. Fuck people who say "gg ez".

 

[Mifec]

In Dota 2 I often see "gg izi" or just straight up "gg easy"

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

 

[Hey Im Patrick]

I hope something like this gets implemented in CS:GO. I love saying EZ when playing against friends though. It's funny.

 

[Hot Coldman]

now Rocket League needs to make it so that spamming "WHAT A SAVE!" makes your tires fall off

 

[Mister Zimbu]

I don't get the "Custom Game Members Can Invite" one, but the rest are pretty good.

I'm assuming that and the ban messages were just pulled from a resource file and are unrelated.

But keep the ban ones please.

 

[Uiki]

I'm sure you'll find a variation to get around it

gege

 

[DarKshodaN]

But just ez is ok?

Ok...

Yeah i don't get it

 

[Azure Phoenix]

A welcome addition, that phrase was never used in a light-hearted manner. It's always the abusive players that managed to scrape a win after insulting their team all game long that type it at the end of a match, and every time it sours the mood for everyone.

 

[Razmos]

This is just sad.

I still don't know if the kids are the ones writing "gg ez" or the ones getting butthurt from it..

It always used to piss me off when I was playing league of legends, it could have been a really close, fun match and then you have a dick head saying that the win was "easy". It's really bad sportsmanship and contributes massively to an already toxic community.

I don't play multiplayer games like that any more because of how toxic the people are. Call me a wimp if you want lol

 

[Waylon Drums]

I'm oddly proud that I have no idea what this gg ez shit even is.

 

[Fersis]

Love the idea, but those "fake ban messages" are a little cruel.

Those lines are not used by the filter.

gege

<d.iva>Gee! Gee! </d.iva>

 

[Garrett 2U]

gg ez is dead, long live ez gg!

 

[Interfectum]

This is just sad.

I still don't know if the kids are the ones writing "gg ez" or the ones getting butthurt from it..

I think people who win a game and decide bring unnecessary toxicity for no reason other than to piss players off are the "kids."

 

[Dystify]

Wish other games like League of Legends could have done similar things. This is amazing.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

gg ez is the League of Legends cancer community now infecting overwatch.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

This is great!

 

[Savitar]

Hahaha, awesome.

 

[| Praxis |]

I'm oddly proud that I have no idea what this gg ez shit even is.

I'm jealous.

I don't know why internet slang annoys me so much.

Don't blame you at all. I haven't touched Overwatch since the first two weeks after release. I heard more insults and just straight up harassment during that time then I ever did during the 5.84 days of DOTA, and THAT was a fucking toxic community for a game, but it was more understandable since it ran 45-80 minutes, you were more invested. Overwatch games are over so quick it's hard to understand how people get so worked up.

I am curious to see what they've done for the summer games stuff though, maybe I'll start it up tonight.

 

[Gxgear]

I just turn off chat, even ez-ier. Can't deal with groups gloating after winning in quickplay like they won a tournament.

 

[Vintage]

Is there a way to disable chat completely?

 

[woopWOOP]

Ha, that's pretty good
It'll take half a day for people to circumvent it with misspelling/something else, but that's pretty good.

 

[LouisaFerre]

lol, I found "gg ez" to be pretty funny. Yeah, bragging is obnoxious but it's so simple and just goofy that I'm genuinely surprised anyone takes it seriously. I don't play multiplayer games though, so I dunno.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

That's amazing haha.

 

[Gaz_RB]

gg ez are four letters smashed together that somehow manage to make your day shit everytime you see them.

 

[Lord Phol]

Hahah, fun and smart. Anything that brings down the toxicity/hostility level even if just a bit is good a thing IMO.

 

[Kalnos]

Is there a way to disable chat completely?

You can disable the match chat I'm pretty sure.

 

[darklin0]

This is pretty funny. I hope they add more secret ones that happen once in a blue moon.
