Seeing the gg thread made me realize some people may find that antagonizing. I usually say it with good will in order to try and set the tone for the game or feel like it’s a friendly match but apparently a lot of people take gg as an insult so I’m curious if the situation is similar to glhf.

    I think anything that can be taken as non-negative in face value should not be honestly taken as sarcasm or snark without obvious context. If they said nothing to you except glhf and you think it’s negative, you need to reconsider your perspective.

      Yeah, idk why people seem so cynical. It sucks the fun out of the game. Just don’t be a dick and take things at face value. I feel like people are searching for a way to blame their loss on some mean spirited ploy by the enemy team, as if feigned sportsmanship is such a big brain play that it causes a roll. Sometimes people who are better than you are nice, deal with it.

        I think a huge part of the problem has been the change in the player base to f2p. We have so many casual rude assholes in the game it’s almost intolerable. Just because some games can be f2p doesn’t mean it isn’t works for overwatch.
