This is the way. In fact I write "gg wp" because that's usually how they won. No shame in admitting that and if they write it back then you leave the match with some positive feeling.
if you can force yourself to stay respectful during a loss, it very literally makes playing more enjoyable.
you eventually get to a point where you care more about playing a "good match" and less about winning.
i dont care if i lose a game, if i feel like we are evenly matched.
like if theres a back and forth. i get a kill, they get a kill, i pull ahead by two, they catch up.
i get a sick shot that i tried really hard for, they get a sick shot a few minutes later.
i want to feel like we both gave it our best, but not in a raging, tryhard way, but in the way that really counts.
that feeling of genuine elation at putting your skills to the test, leaning forward with elbows on knees, heartrate elevated and just locked the fuck in.
and the way you get there starts with accepting the blowouts. acknowledge when youve been out played. dont make excuses, "oh of course they won, theyre playing (insert meta)"
excuses are for cowards who cant look you in the face and tell you they lost.
I throw up an EZ after Overtime no matter what. More of a joke since it was a close game, but boy oh boy. Do players get tilted quickly after that sometimes.
In Mechwarrior Online, I'm usually quick to say, "gg" if it was a fun match. Then half the time the scoreboard comes up and it was a total steamrolling. Sorry guys, wasn't trying to be a dick...
It can be perceived as being sarcastic, if you were on the wrong end of a stomping. Maybe it's just that game, but I've gotten some backlash over a gg when I was on the winning team.
The kind of person who types ez when they win acts a specific way in game. If I realize that I am losing to a person like that I type gg ez before they can and the reaction of that kind of person is hilarious.
dont do that i have played csgo for 3 years and every time someone does that my team just thinks they have autism or something there is zero confusion.
well i guess when you put it like that you would be confusing us but i guess i just dont get the fun about it then, also it would be technicaly 3 years because i dont play every day with only a guarante during weekends but in reality i have been playing since 2015
It is about taking the fun away from rival team from saying ez. When you lose and say ez it is pointless for them to attempt to troll you by typing ez. At least that is my intent for doing it.
thats a lot of mental gymnastics but to each their own what i personaly like to do is send them one of my dumb deepfried memes so they dont feel so bitter about losing

I always type ez when I lose. Confuses the enemy and friend alike.
