Practice leaving games faster.

"gg" - F10 - n, should take less than a second from when the "gg" appears, so there's no way your opponent can respond quickly enough.

gg lost its meaning because its convention now. i dont like it cause it feels like were being conformed to do it. i only gg when its actually a good game. i dont mind offensive gg's only because its something different and unexpected. it makes the game a bit more fun and i just laugh. i feel like were robots now, typing gg all the time.

also if you hate being "gged" to then dont type gg, just leave. dont wrry about being bad mannered, you arnt in a fukin formal event or something .

i feel like a robot when i say hello to people too

damn these social norms.

When i type gg i always wait for my opponent to gg as well because it shows some respect to me and the game in my eyes.

When I lose, I say 'gg' and because I play on a HP, I can't press F10 fast enough, so most of the time he ggs me back, which I think is good mannered. I don't really know why that bothers you, it just seems good mannered for the winner to gg back the loser. What I really hate is the offensive gg though, I don't need you to tell me when to leave the game, I'll do it myself thanks.

I usually leave right after I type gg, but offensive gg makes me rage so hard. This is partly why I like customs with friends way better than ladder.

I used to actually wait in after I gg'ed for my opponent to gg as well; I wanted my opponent to show me some respect. Recently though I just F10 N as fast as possible (after gg'ing that is). I dunno, I just don't care that much for it, unless I thought it was a really good game, in which case I'll gg wp and wait for my opponent to gg as well.

edit: Another fun thing to do in customs specifically; whenever my opponent asks "from?" or "league?" or basically any forward questions after gl hf, I'll just ignore them. Fairly standard fair.

Then, 2 minutes later they suddenly leave. I unignore then after the game, check the replay, and turns out they were yelling at me for 3 minutes just because I didn't answer them

Aren't you kinda screwed if he scouts this relatively early on and kills you with his roach army?

I've actually gotten into the habit of just GGing back and not getting offended. Every game is GG. More GGs are needed.

You got 6 gates bro ;O

Also if you see 6 gateways at that time you probably aren't going to immediately think "K gotta check for more bases" ESPECIALLY if the guy says "GG bro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" when you see them. Offensive gg's always mean allins lol.

I always try to gg back to my opponent if they gg. I didn't know so many people thought this was incredibly bm.

Offensive gg is the worst bm though and gets me totally furious for some reason.
