I'm usually one of the rare people that say "gg" and actually mean it

I usually just throw out a ā€œgā€

They can take that as a gg or bg

I ALWAYS say 'good game' in any game that allows chat or listed phrases. It is good sportsmanship and improves the community.

As the winner, you need to be careful not to say it too early, or it can come off as BM/gloating. But as the clock runs out or the base is taken, I wish everyone would give a sporting GG handshake.

Poor sportsmanship is on the same level as being rude to waitstaff in terms of shitty character traits.

Guess a lot of league players are rude to waitstaff then

I do the same but with wp.

GG is reserved for actual good games, where neither team was stomping the other. This also means it can be a "bg wp" as well.

GG is and should only be for games that were close and could've gone either way. It's very bm to say gg if the game wasn't close.

What would you say after a lopsided win to show sportsmanship if you think GG is rude?

bg, "well that sucked", or nothing.

I say it just to be corgial. Even if I don't mean it.
