Saying GG first, as the winner, is disrespectful

lmao you're analyzing this way too much

It's so annoying seeing GG when it was clear that the other side only reserves it for when they won.

Yesterday I spent most of my matches playing survivor and the only "gg" I got was in a match against Pinhead where my teammate DCed 30 seconds into the match after Pinhead found the box.

Played against the same person later on (they were Singularity this time) and got a 3 man out. Their only kill came from hook trading in end game. Guess what they said in chat? Absolutely nothing.

Sometimes if you comment on the game they do throw out the ggez as well. Makes it fairly obvious their initial gg wasn't genuine.

Well when bringing in personal exprerience and opinions obviously there is no way to prove/disprove that. But my point still stands. GG has nothing to do with DBD and has everything to do with gaming as a whole. Again, you can be offended, but that is your choice to be offended, not because someone actually is trying to offend you..

In actual sports? No. People meet up before a match. Stuff gets set up. You can observe the other(s) during the match.

In DBD? Yes, exactly. Thats the point. That's why the "gg" from actual sports is lacking the context it needs in dbd.

And only from them, by the way, never getting back a corresponding gg from the other side.

The problem is not the winner saying gg first but the loser being salty and taking it the wrong way. More often than not, the winner is probably genuine and they wish to express that they had fun playing against their opponent.

I know it's easy to assume the worst about people but that's not good.

This is something that doesn't make sense to me. Insults are bannable as per the game rules, and when the Killer bled the last person out and types GG or the Survivor clicky clicky teabags at the exit gate and types the same, they are clearly doing it to insult/BM. At the same time, a normal match may have had annoying moments, and been ambiguous as to whether it was a 'glove touch' or insult. Waiting for the loser to say GG first makes it 100% in the clear.

Alternatively, I think we should just remove the foolish 'no insults' rule, because insults are too subjective to be a bannable cause. I find banter very enjoyable, and I don't consider banter to be actual insults, even if it may include them. At the same time you can say the meanest things under the 'kill them with kindness' guise, and you can't determine if the person is genuine or not. I personally take bleedout and tunneling at 5 gens GGs as insults, because you would have to be implying I am a complete and total idiot if you thought I would think it was a good/enjoyable match.

It just salt farmer. Even some dbd streamers make a living off it. They will play in a unfun way, say gg in end game, than make a YouTube vib out of it when the response is negative.

100%

It's like that in many online games but dbd especially. Side note! it really hard to respect a gg in this game sometimes because how skill-less wins can appear. This game is all about positioning. Breaking middle gens making patrolling the map impossible, standing close by hooks to camp/tunnel, etc. it almost feel like it's too easy to rush your objective in this game sometimes and just feel extremely cheesy.

Looping & chasing test your reflexes, anticipation, and map knowledge which if far more interesting. To bad many matches are just players playing boring

...so it's disrespectful to say gg because you won? So like every other game when someone says Good Game either physical like a bored game torment oron computer like any e-sport is disrespectful. I would more understand it if they added ez because yeah that is disrespectful but saying GG even if you win shows you enjoyed the game with the player which can give a small boost of confidence adding WP can even give a bigger one since it makes the person who lost at least feel they put up a challenge. I say GG to twitch streamers if they win or lose against me because it's a sign of respect. I shouldn't need to wait for the other person to say it first because they lost.

It kind of depends on the game. There are games where saying GG first is actually seen as a form of disrespect for good reason. RTSes like StarCraft are a perfect example of this. The loser says GG in order to signify that they've lost and they have nothing left. If the opponent says it first, it's a form of BM, since it implies they're confident that they've won the game and their opponent can't possibly stop them anymore.

That being said, in the context of DBD, I think if you get offended by your opponent saying GG then you should just turn off chat because I would think you're likely to be tilted by almost anything that's said in there.

There's a youtuber named Cope who I like a lot who recommended turning off chat and usernames as a means of reducing tilt, since it makes the game seem less "personal" when you're just playing against Dwight_Fairfield instead of Hex: Creatively Suggestive Username. I tried it once and honestly it worked really well for me. I keep thinking I should just do it permanently because it made the game a lot more fun.

Interesting take.

I mostly agree, that the absence of body language and audible cues makes it harder to identify the true intentions but there really is no way to fix that. Emojis wouldn't help, especially if you're already in a bit of a bad mood because then everything would be understood as sarcasm.

I think it is on the winner to keep in mind that their opponent might not be in the best mood after losing and the loser to try and be calm enough to understand that sometimes a gg is nothing more than a gg. Especially since sore winners tend to write gg ez instead. Meaning, when one side absolutely stomped the other, saying gg first might not convey the intended message and in a normal to close game the loser should try and understand that their opponent is actually trying to be nice.

When I lose badly in a game, I rarely respond with a gg and instead say well played. The game wasn't good for me but I can aknowledge that my opponent played well. There is no need to lie in the end game chat and logically it makes little sense for them to be spiteful when they won. Sometimes the game can be a context clue for the opposite but I view that as the exception, not the norm.

Spirit says GG after a 4K

"stop bming me!"
