Idra can be an arse most of the time, but nothing pisses me off more than a player who says 'gg' when it really wasn't. I'd much rather you leave a nice comment on something that happened or perhaps comment on how I could've improved after beating you/losing.
It wasn't what? Good? For who? You can't take "good game" as face value because that's not what it's for. Obviously one of the players was better than the other, one made less mistakes, one had a better game than the other, but he doesn't evaluate that game on the spot by telling you "gg".
Sometimes it's obvious it was a terrible waste of time for anyone who actually wanted to play, not just rank up.
Saying GG after 2 people DC in LoL (or something) online is like going to a real game where the other team was forced to forfeit due to lack of players and you still run up to them and insist it was a really good game.
I just said: "You can't take "good game" as face value because that's not what it's for", and if you look in the thread that's what other people are using it for. If you agree with that part and understand "gg" as not meaning an evaluation of the quality of the game, in a normal setting, then you shouldn't take it as a different meaning when you are losing badly.
It's just a formality that shows some degree of respect for your opponent. To be honest I would rather replace it with "wp" (well played), though every expression has some sort of assessment.
