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 say glhf at the beginning of every game, don’t know why it’s just a habit now, and almost every game has someone who tells me to kill myself, calls me some form of slur, tell me the stfu or the most boring of people putting bldhf (bad luck don’t have fun, very creative and clever) and ‘Fun? In Overwatch?’ Which gets so repetitive and they always think they’ve completely ruined my game which they haven’t.
I don’t get why people do it but I guess it just comes with the territory in fact it’s so common that I’m surprised when someone responds positively. My method of dealing with them is usually completely ignoring them, however if they tell me to kill myself usually I’ll just put ‘I will <3’ and they shut up after a quick ‘good <3’ or something. But if they’re in a duo or really adamant in being toxic I’ll make sure to put ‘gr <3’ after every round regardless of result because that always gets on their nerves for some reason.
