No matter the MMO, there's always hate for the little people.

Your thoughts about gnomes are a sin.

People who play anything besides a gnome should be banned from the game. There’s enough weirdo roleplaying elves running around already.

The Roadhog animations really are fantastic, I think my favorite is him as Tracer in the training sequence, but it’s hard to pick. Just that cheer wave is so... funny.

Whether it truly was easy for you or not doesn’t factor into what’s sportsman-like and what isn’t. Telling someone they need to try harder at the end of a game isn’t sporting. Neither is telling them they were an easy opponent for you. They’ll know by the score. Say something encouraging and friendly or just don’t say…

Haha, but really, re-read what you said. It’s so Trump. It’s four sentences of nothing. “I say it’s easy because it’s easy and you should not make it so easy” and by typing it out, you have somehow enriched their lives and made everything crystal clear. We know why people say it, it doesn’t make it any better.

You know, outside of the internet world, I am a pretty outspoken person, I say whats on my mind and have no regrets about it.

QQ alert!

Yeah, that’s never why people say gg ez, but nice try to justify people being dicks.

You are, in this very instant, getting offended by “meaningless” words (whatever that even means). You need to stop typing what you’re thinking, and start thinking about what you’re typing.

And yet another impeccable Trump impersonation!

Yeah and outside the internet, you would get popped in the ****ing mouth if you said what you’re saying here. Real life has physical consequences for being a passive-aggressive jerk.

Your point was “How can me being condescending come off as condescending?”

Saying “gg ez” isn’t constructive, it’s destructive. It’s insulting in competition and always has been, and “try harder” is just as insulting.

If you think it was an easy win, great, move on with your life. I’m pretty sure the team that got beat knows that they got beat once that “Defeated” slams on their screen. No…

“GG EZ” is 100% shit talking, despite you trying to jump through hoops to justify how it isn’t.

The joke is that they’re acting like an 8 year old, so the game is making them into a literal 8 year old. It’s got nothing to do with the “adult nerds living with their parents” stereotype.

Why are you worried about players that you yourself call “toxic, trolls, or just jack-asses”? And no, making assholes the butt of a joke doesn’t perpetuate a stereotype on gamers as a whole. How did you even come to that conclusion?

“and not go with the negative one that call into question the gamers mental or physical state.”

When people refer to moves like this as “Orwellian” it really makes me think people need to spend more time reading books and less time playing video games.
