Maybe it is because the new season. Maybe I am just playing against that minority that doesn’t gg. Or maybe people don’t gg anymore.

I am curious here. I have played multiple ladder games and much more custom games in season 2. And I think that only 40% of my wins the opponent types gg.
It is not that it bothers me a great deal, but it leaves a bad taste after a game. I also add that I rarely cheese, only ZvP on 2 maps.

I guess my biggest problem is that a game mentally ends for me when the opponent types gg. I completely relax and I am happy, when they just leave it doesn't feel the same. I don't know, it is probably overreacting on my part. But I don't see myself leaving without typing gg, unless I react extremely bad against a cheese and am extremely mad on myself for playing bad, which makes me leave Bnet and turn of my computer.

Let’s be honest here and try to estimate how much you type gg after you lost. Give me a percentage with some additional information.

Is everybody experiencing the same? I am currently around world rank 6000 in masters and without kidding a maximum of 40% type gg before they leave.

I just let my opponent type it for me while they're destroying my world.
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

There is no rule that you have to gg. Get over it...

Period.

Can you give me one that isn't 2 months old and it about this specific? I typed in gg in the search bar and it wasn't really a succes.

Why would you never gg?

I used to always GG out of every single game (apart from cannon rushes/weird proxy things, and sometimes even those if I'm in a good mood). Recently I've switched to zerg, and I often get really really frustrated with my losses (no balance whine, just saying I should be able to hold certain strats). I now rarely gg before I surrender, unless I genuinely thought it was a gg or if again, I'm in a good mood.

I just get too frustrated autolosing to stuff like 2port banshee, 4gate or 6gate because I didn't scout well enough or built like 1 round of drones too many. I do always gl hf before the game. It's not meant as ragequit or as insult to whatever build the opponent did, I just get too frustrated with myself losing to that stuff to gg.

I only GG if it was actually a good game. 4gates, spine rushes, bunker rushes can all go to hell.

I don't say GG when I leave, usually because I get pretty ticked off when I lose, since I know I'm the one messing everything up. I leave before I have the chance to BM my opponent, opening a chat box makes me want to type BM 90% of the time when I lose. Nothing bad like cussing the other guy out or whatever, just usually passive-agressive stuff.

Altogether I probably type GG 10% of the time. Usually if a game is close, I'll type it, but if I'm supply blocking myself around every corner, miscontrolling my units, etc. I won't type it.

Now, whenever I play other people, they might type GG 50% of the time, with 10% of the time being BM and 40% just being straight up quitting. I haven't noticed a difference between the beta/release and now, though. Maybe it's just you?

Oh, and I usually GG to cheese. Weird, I know. Just saying.

Pretty much yeah. Still not cool though. Even if it's a ladder that doesn't mean you don't have to type out.
But yeah, no biggie just get over it.
I always type out, except sometimes when i'm playing so badly that i just ragequit simple as that.

I type gg 90% of the time when I leave, sometimes when im getting tired and ends up in a loss streak, I often just ragequit the last one without gg, but otherwise always.

I haven't gotten a gg in a verry long time. I don't play many games, so it is quite memorable. I really don't care though, in fact one might say it is a confidence booster. You destroyed them so hard they rage quit. ^^ I jest..

If the game was good then I GG, if it was just me messing up I don't see a reason to GG.

I gg if I think it was a good game. About 80% of the time I'll do it, but if I played awfully or the game was very one sided, then I won't. I don't believe in gging just for the sake of being "manner". To me, it takes the meaning out of the phrase if I just use it all the time even if the game is bad - to the point that I don't really think it's good mannered if you use it that way.

Hell most ladder games I just get flamed as soon as it starts. "GL HF" has been replaced with "Fuck you newb" as the start up greeting it seems.
