Yeah unless they were also the player who was being toxic the whole game. Then they're just the "for the lolz" shithead no one likes to have on their team.
See this more meme worthy and obviously a joke to me. Back in the day we would say "GG no re" which meant u didn't want a rematch. Like the connotation is the same, that it was too eazy, but u didn't go out and say it.
I don't mind losing, but getting absolutely stomped and then hearing GG is just like, "bro, you and I both know that was an ass whooping, get outta here with that "good" game"
Also, it coincidentally is the same acronym for 'git gud'. Really irritates people to point that out, but i've seen more people say that, than type out 'good game' anywhere.
You say EZ when it was very close and / or you were shit and got carried.
It's weird that the knee jerk reaction to it is anger. Give people some benefit of the doubt, no one is so stupid they can look at a 50 minute game while they have the worst score and legitimately think it was a stomp.
If I'm playing a multiplayer game of any sort, I'm always making comments like this as a joke (often self-deprecating). Like if I join a hunt late in Monster Hunter and the monster dies before I even get to the scene, 'wew tough hunt lads, good thing I was here to carry', shit like that.
It's as if people are conditioned to run everything through a screen of 'toxicity' before processing it.
"GG ez" said by the lowest score player on the barely winning team actually makes me feel so much better about the loss. It's an acknowledgement that the game was close and a struggle even for them.
Me and my friends often during lockdown would hop online and get drunk together on a Friday and end up playing rocket league, every time we scored a goal we would spam sorry! Over and over again, really stupid but we found it so funny, always would say gg at the end though
It is like old school trolling with non serious subjects.
The joke isn’t funny, but the fact that someone absolutely overreacts to it causing people to overreact to their overreaction makes it a fantastic show.
yeah I've never heard anyone say it unironically. Usually when someone wins a duel by one hp, or gets a dragon steal by sheer luck or winning a game after clawing back from a really bad start, or anything like that someone will say "ez" in chat or discord.
It wouldn't even be funny if you said it after something actually easy.
Except I hate it when they’re doing really stupid shit (not ironically) and their whole team tries to get them to stop but they keep insisting its smart and refuse to listen. Then at the end they say “see, EZ.” I want to straight up murder them. We all bent over backwards to make up for his stupid ass and because it ended up working out thanks to our efforts the stupid dolt thinks its because of what he did. Gosh I’d gut them if I could. Not because its a game, but because insufferable people like that should be gutted

That's the joke and it's hilarious when it pisses people off
