GG (Not) EZ?

[Temp name]

I know it isn't. Like I said though, Blizzards report functions are automated. They aren't going to check if it is harrassment or not and why should I care if some little 12 year old gloater gets a suspension

Because the more you abuse things, the more likely they'll be taken away.. People abused the "avoid" function and it got removed after all

I mean, I'm content with telling them to eat a bag of dicks in response, seems fair to me.

This is also why it's so hard to vote kick people in WoW from groups now. People would vote kick for anything including just because they thought it was funny.

I just block them.

also that, more often that really.

Pretty much, yeah. I barely kick anyone in WoW and I'm almost always greeted with the "You can't kick that player for another 4 hours" message when I try..

Finally.

Was pretty sick of having people spam "gg" no matter how terrible the match was, and having the entire enemy team spam "gg" after they completely steamroll us.

GG is just a polite thing to say after matches. It's the EZ part that is the problem.

"gg" doesn't trigger it.

My point is that "gg" has become spammed so much that it doesn't mean anything anymore.

People say "gg" EVERY SINGLE TIME, no matter how good or bad the match was.

Enemy team steamrolls us and wins in like 2 minutes? "gg" "gg" "gg" "gg"

We barely even touch point A and lose after 6 minutes? "gg" "gg" "gg" "gg"

Enemy team destroys us to the point of spawncamping us? "gg" "gg" "gg" "gg"

when everyone says it every single time, it completely loses its meaning.

Instead of trying to filter out this behavior, they should give players the option to OPT out of chats.

What about the people that want to be in chat but don't want to have to deal with toxic behavior?

[Tharkkun]

EZ is usually used after a hard win deliberately, just to make victory much sweeter :P

If the game was a very close match you just look like a fucking retard though. It's not offensive when the person using it is stupid.

[Not A Cat]

If they were trying seriously to prevent people from feeling harassed they would have had to go to much greater lengths. So I don't think that's their goal.

Sounds like they're just taking the piss out of people that say it. I think it's hilarious.

[Orby]

It just means people will be more annoying about it probably.

Depends on how many variations they try to cover. Right now I think it's just gg ez, so you could just say ez.

Or from what I usually see eeeeeez or ezzzzzzz or eeeezzzz or eez or ezz

It's the equivalent of walking up to the other team after the match and shaking hands. It's being respectful. You can be a sore loser though and think it's being hostile.

Yep it's not supposed to have some deep meaning behind it. It's just a nice polite way thanking the enemy and your team mates for playing with you.

Fuck me what is next in Overwatch? A safe space style map where you can't say anything?

Wasn't that more to do with it fucking up their matchmaker?

Yes, if they made a system whereby if you got reported too much in Overwatch it would make you 'report immune' it would be retarded; just as the "get group kicked too many times and we'll make you kick-proof" is in WoW. That doesn't mean the two systems overlap.

You're correct in that it might make my reports for harassment count for less over time. I'm not worried about actual harassment in Overwatch though. To the point where I wonder what they were thinking to label the function "harassment" I mean, who gets harassed (and how?) in a lobby game like that?

Pretty much. The word is "courtesy" and it costs nothing.
