Hey everyone!
Recently, I have seen a lot of people saying gg ez in chat after winning. We all know this is one of the most toxic thing to say in chat. blah blah blah.
I am an experienced player, in the sense that I have been playing for a long time. I can recognize a gg ez every time I see his derivatives implemented by Blizzard. Since then, I turned the filter off.
My point is that you (as a player) cannot prevent someone from saying gg ez, because you never know. So, I think Blizzard should put on a system that every time you say ââgg ezââ, it is simply replaced with a classic, non-toxic ââggââ.
This would work with every word that looks like ââeasyââ
Ex: Easy, easy, EZ, ez, gg ez, ggezâŚ
There is nothing more tilting in a video game to have played really well but lose, and having someone say ââgg ezââ afterwards.
I am almost at the point where I mute every single possible way of receiving toxicity. This means muting match chat, muting team chat, and muting team voice chat. I wonât leave voice chat, simply mute it because I need to shotcall still. I know this is dumb, but this is the only way to evade toxicity in a Overwatch game.
I hope this ââSAVE USââ message gets somewhere.
I guess Iâll just play on and hope for the best.

People still get around the current filter thing they added, which iâm sure was just for giggles.
I say anyone that types âgg ezâ or any method to get around it loses 1 endorsement the first time, then 2, then 4, then 8 and so on. If it gets up 128+ then they get chat silenced for 6 hours.
If only. The GGEZ macro replacement thing they did was stupid.
TBH, when someone types that in, they should instantly silence that person for 5 games and increment it like they do abusive chat reports.
In the meantime, report it. Abusive chat is the only thing they even act on anyway, so report it every time. Nothing is more frustrating to poop disturbers like those than to be restricted so they canât do what they want. I also block them so they canât get me next time.
This wouldnât even be an issue, but likely youâve just played a game that made you frustrated by all the other issues that are broken in the game, like matchmaking, all the CC, and the problems with the way they do SR.

If you teabag more than one itâs not classy.
how âggâ can be even remotley toxic?
its not EZ gg⌠or somethin
if game was close i usually type in âty ggâ - i guess this is best way to pay respects for your opponents team when they perform, but lost
When someone goes out of their way to go gg ez and bypass the filter at the end of the match, I find it more pathetic than anything and my personal opinion of that personâs skill drops tremendously.
Are you seriously letting gg ez get to you? Youâre just feeding the trolls that way.

M8 tilting people is a strategy since online gaming was introduced i think its even used in real sports so if you are weak to that you are exploitable in my eyes.
Just let the players choose what words to fliter out of chat.
Then people who donât like certain phrases can avoid them while others who donât care can continue to not care.
Plus you can use it for other words or phrases you donât like besides just ggez.
Iâm not offended by it, but like wiping snot on your pants doing more than one teabah isnât classy.
keep in mind your reaction to those words is purely your own interpretation. Offense is taken not given. Remembering the many tools available to you to limit or remove what you take offense too. I would argue most people really donât care and to try and push your feelings on to others and cater the game to how you perceive it should be censored is a step to far. Remember theyâre only words this is only a game ![:wink:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
report abusive chat⌠as its poor sportsmanship and just lowlives trying to start a fightâŚ
Typically there just bad players who got fed a pitty win by getting matched with players who carried them, because there win rate was starting to creep way to far below 50%
Having gg ez replaced by silly phrases was funny at first but now it just annoys be because I know what they really said. If it was just changed to gg, however, I would never know. I like your idea.

some people even use âGGâ to try and be toxic in a subtle way. Context and all it could easily double for âget goodâ too. people take advantage of the fact people just always assume its âGood gameâ⌠and because people are to lazy to type it out⌠and/or people are blind to context⌠well they get away with it 
âGG EZâ is probably the most blatant of examples of this. think about it does âgood game, easyâ make any sence? âGet good, to easyâ sure does make a lot more sense here doesnt it?
Perspective: âman this hero is really easyâ
Reality: âman this hero is really ggâ
