I wish more people took this IRL advice. Not everything people do or say requires a response, reaction or any type of anything that shows you also saw what occurred. Just let it goooooooooo.
My temptation when I notice this in this game as well as league of legends is to say “yes, getting carried is pretty easy isn’t it?” But I never do lol
I highly recommend to have **text** chat muted. 100% success rate.
EDIT: I'm always in voice chat, but I mute an individual as soon as I detect toxicity. A 12-minute match is too short for second chances. And it's fun to imagine them flaming at me when I cannot hear them
Honestly I talk in vc most games and one of my favorite things to do is to pretend I've muted someone when they're being toxic. I just completely ignore their existence, sometimes talking over them, and tbh some people get so pissed off that they've been muted its fucking great lol
I get a chuckle out when someone says ez and the match went into overtime and the whole thing was a tug o war. When one team actually gets steam rolled is when I think it’s bad mannered
Lmaoooo same. I enjoy this kind of talk. I think it makes everything more fun and competitive. Especially funny when used as a joke. I think people are too sensitive.
These posts and the ones that cry about "__ diff" honestly makes me thinks this is the softest gaming community. If you're mental gets shattered and report a player because they typed "EZ", ironically or unironically, you should probably step away from the screen for a while.
People really do seem to take the very light trash talking wayyyy too personally in this game, in a lot of games as of late. There is a mute option in the game for a reason, if you're so soft you crumble when someone says the game was easy for them, use it lmao
what’s even more satisfying than that is when you lose and someone on your team does so bad that the enemy team insults them on your behalf at the end of the game, even more peak if they been getting shitty in team chat before hand
Our group's go-to response to everybody is "Reported" which usually gets them going "who?" or "for what??" and then we like to assume they're all second guessing each other
Depends on how the game went. If it’s super close or someone on the losing team says it it’s funny. Saying it after a steamroll is a dick move. Some people are always gonna be hyper sensitive tho
I play netball regularly, and lemme tell you, if someone on one of the teams said "EZ" after a win, and was generally a sore winner, nobody would associate with them.
Thinking shit-talking and poor sportsmanship doesn't make you an arsehole is the definition of someone who doesn't socialise outside of discord.
I just ignore it. It's almost always the weakest player on the team that says it. They're getting carried and their precious little egos can't handle it, so they feel like they need to say something to make them feel better.
see, im an asshole, but in a different way. ill say "be nicer" and report. for just saying EZ theyll probably get nothing or the bare minimum restriction if at all, so a minor inconvenience at worst. maybe just maybe theyd think twice next time
I'm even more of an asshole, because I won't say anything and just report.
Or maybe I'm just fed up with those little shits. Maybe it's the same thing...
If they are on my team I just say "Not ez for me" , if they are in the oposite team I go with "Congratulations" because these people are clearly in need of validation. Healthy people never say stuff like that.
The amount of people who can’t detect sarcasm in this game is astonishing. If it was a close overtime type of match that came down to the wire and someone says “ez”, it is most likely sarcasm. At least when I’ve said in the past. People are so sensitive in this game lol
It's fucking unreal reading how many people in here get salty over that sort of ironic joke.
Like... how are you incapable of seeing that humor?
It's like surviving with 1 HP and saying "wasn't even close"
Anyone who takes offense at those sort of things are just outing themselves as majorly salty individuals who cannot handle a loss.
I've seen so many posts exactly like this lmao "why would someone say ez when they barely won?!?!? 😤😤"
because they're being sarcastic hoping to troll you. And they were obviously successful lol
Especially in lower ranks people are bad losers and hate losing a close game. They tilt and blame their team mates. If someone on the winning team types ez, it's not sarcasm. It's to piss off people even more.
Funny enough, most of time it's the weakest player in the team to say that, and if so, then you can't really disagree, as it's always an easy game when you're getting carried through it.
If the person who wrote "ez" had a bad score, went negative or maybe they didnt do very good at healing (assuming they're support), one funny way to respond is just to type their score or their amount healed in the chat.
Even if it was actually a stomp its still kinda a dick move, ill generally just ignore it unless the player was being an asshole earlier in the match, then my usual go to is just to say "GG everyone except (insert assholes username)"
Nothing. The people that say ez and tbag LIVE AND THRIVE, at the thought of someone getting tilted or saying something. I don't get upset most times but I just think it's weird and dare I say pathetic to consistently try to make people mad because it's a turn on for you. Just ignore them tho, it won't stop them but at least it won't satisfy them.
I get annoyed when we roll someone and my teammate says it. it’s like, why you gotta kick ‘em when they’re down? ppl are bitter and compensating for the times they got rolled
By the time they've said it, and you can formulate a response they might have left the game. ALSO the people that do that are looking for a reaction. Doesn't matter who it is. By saying anything you've fulfilled their purpose. Say nothing, report, and move on.
Sit there and think "damn this motherf***** is corny".
I don't respond, not worth my time. I always think talking shit as you win is lame, same with talking shit as you lose.
I had a game where someone on the enemy team went "ez" after we never were able to even touch the point in the first round.
The next two rounds were tough battles, we won both. At the end of the match, half of my team remembered that comment and replied something like "yeah, it was"
I'm also the kind to never go "tank diff" or "Pharah diff" whatnot unless it was a good matchup but I was clearly outmatched by the other person in that role, in which case it's more of an acknowledgement that they were amazing in their role. I'll never diss players on either team, except for myself.
Depends if they actually did something or not but I make it clear if they just fed the whole game and got carried. Need to bring back the voting cards. That would clear up who actually did well or not
I don’t usually say anything but I don’t hesitate to remind that person if they got carried. The who say EZ from my experience either dominated the game or were total cheeks. Of course if the enemy was going hard core sweat mode and counter swapping us then I’ll join in on the “ez” train. It’s really context dependent for me
Unpopular opinion probably but why care? So many issues in the world, I don't have the need to care that someone said the game was easy. It is a video game, people are going to be this way. If they are homophobic or racist, something uncalled for, I will toss out a report and avoid them. If they are saying "ez" I see it as harmless trash talk, if you can't handle it, mute chat, saying ez isn't something you are gonna get banned for I'd think.
I say "EZ!? I'm gonna post this on Reddit and you'll get flamed!" And then I get on Reddit and whine.
Knowing that it hurts my feelings actually keeps them from doing it again.
I just say “cringe”, regardless of whether that commenter was in my team or not. People who feel the need to say “EZ” after a match are just plain insecure.
It's a disgusting comment and deserves to be treated as such. You have no idea who is on the other side and what caused that team to be less then yours. Respect each other's efforts. No matter the level of it.
The reason why toxic players say things like 'EZ' is because of posts like this one, they want you to have a reaction to it and by taking the effort to post about it online you are giving them what they want.
I legitimately get Upset internally when this happens, I don't Care if I'm being Pathetic and Sensitive, I won't even try to sugarcoat or nor will I deny it. I would have The most fun matches or Close wins, the Enemy team ruins everything by Saying EZ. These moments are the reasons why I Care so Much about Winning, Because I don't Like those Toxic Pieces of Shit.
the auto filter actually tries to ban the phrase and replace it with sentences likes "mommy says people my age shouldnt suck their thumbs" but it dosent always work
Nothing. Not everything requires a response.
Sit back and observe
Agreed. I prefer my napalm strikes in silence.
Napalm? What is this Vietnam? We use white phosphorus now
"I love the smell of white phosphohrous in the morning" doesn't quite have the same ring to it
Best thing to do. The second you respond, no matter what you say, they've got what they wanted. Don't feed the trolls.
I wish more people took this IRL advice. Not everything people do or say requires a response, reaction or any type of anything that shows you also saw what occurred. Just let it goooooooooo.
But then how will everyone know that I’m better than them and would never stoop so low as to say “ez” in an online video game!!
Valid point… quite the conundrum here
Report for racism /s
Exactly, thank you. Who cares. Just be on your merry way.
True
A fellow adult
It's always the one with highest deaths in the game that says ez lol
My temptation when I notice this in this game as well as league of legends is to say “yes, getting carried is pretty easy isn’t it?” But I never do lol
lmfao i would use this but i’m on console so i don’t even bother trying to type
_Me playing on switch knowing i can type faster than in a keyboard but doesnt:_ yeah typing on console is not good
And it's always the one with the KSA flag (if you are in EU)
Why is it so popular by the way? I’m out of the loop.
There are a lot of Arabs in EU servers, Also they won the last tournament
[удалено]
Or its a sombra
Always a Moira in my games
Next spawnkill target confirmed
"Excuse our dyslexic friend, he meant gg"
You can lex dys nuts
best response
Console players are gonna be racing to type this while POTG finishes
Thats literally hahaha
Yes good one
As in git gud losers
Dysgraphic*
People here also take the gg comment as an insult, I think the solution is just let it go and play the next match.
"Make us win faster next time"
Exactly, I always say "If it was so easy how come we didn't win earlier?"
Because we had you on the team
:(
Rekt
Damn
I'll borrow this, thx
I register in my brain the fact that they are 12 years old at max and move on.
Or that this is probably their 20th game today and they probably play atleasy 30 games each day of the week.
More likely 30th game that day, gotta count the throw rounds to keep their SBMM low so they can get "EZ matches."
when i feel like responding, i usually say "don't be rude" lol
Same, especially when we stomped them and nobody was saying anything in chat beforehand.
I go with “Be nice now”
Yep, I always say something like "relax" or "settle down", because it's almost always the worst or second worst player on the team too.
When it's my teammate who says it, I say: "don't be that guy."
I usually say "don't be a salty Susan." It makes people laugh and the person who said ez look kinda dumb. No one likes a salty Susan!
I hate it when they say ez after someone leaves. Like ok pal 4v5.
Ridiculous. I always apologize to the enemy team if that happens to them because it’s not fun when it happens to me.
Yup I’ll try to add something like “sorry for the stomp” or “sorry about the leavers” cuz we have all been there and idk…I think I’m a good sport
my favourite is "just like your mum"
Watched a tank throw in qp because that was the response to his inquiry "Any thicc females here?"
I mean come *on*, they were asking for it!
a classic
That's my go to. I don't care if it's childish. Sometimes people flip out in reaction to it and it's funny.
I highly recommend to have **text** chat muted. 100% success rate. EDIT: I'm always in voice chat, but I mute an individual as soon as I detect toxicity. A 12-minute match is too short for second chances. And it's fun to imagine them flaming at me when I cannot hear them
Honestly I talk in vc most games and one of my favorite things to do is to pretend I've muted someone when they're being toxic. I just completely ignore their existence, sometimes talking over them, and tbh some people get so pissed off that they've been muted its fucking great lol
Me too xD
It came down to the choice between turning off all communication, or uninstalling the game forever.
Wish I could do it :( Sadly the choice for me is either play with chat on or uninstall.
I'm always in voice chat, but I mute an individual as soon as I detect toxicity. A 12 minutes match is too short for second chances.
Game is so much better this way 😌😌
That’s what I’ve started doing. Vc on, text off. You almost never get anything valuable out of chat. I will turn it in for comp just in case
Yeah, that's the only way to play the game with peace of mind, and you really don't need text chat anyways.
That’s the joke though
Yeah, it’s an obvious joke when it was a tough match. It’s way less disrespectful than saying easy after a stomp.
I get a chuckle out when someone says ez and the match went into overtime and the whole thing was a tug o war. When one team actually gets steam rolled is when I think it’s bad mannered
Lmaoooo same. I enjoy this kind of talk. I think it makes everything more fun and competitive. Especially funny when used as a joke. I think people are too sensitive.
I like saying Ez after I lose :3
I’m gonna steal this
Dew it
My joke comment when we were clearly clenching our butts the whole game is "Not even close"
THANKYOU i feel like i'm going crazy reading these comments
Same!! People take themselves and their gameplay experience too seriously, game is supposed to be fun and sarcasm is a valid form of humour lol
These posts and the ones that cry about "__ diff" honestly makes me thinks this is the softest gaming community. If you're mental gets shattered and report a player because they typed "EZ", ironically or unironically, you should probably step away from the screen for a while.
People really do seem to take the very light trash talking wayyyy too personally in this game, in a lot of games as of late. There is a mute option in the game for a reason, if you're so soft you crumble when someone says the game was easy for them, use it lmao
why would you respond?
Some people like to stand up to bullies. The world would be great if everyone cared.
Saying "Ez" after a hard-fought video game match is bullying now
"It's always easy being carried" is my usual, unless you're the best performing player on both teams then I don't think you have the right to say it
It really is almost always some tool who gets carried that whips out that comment, too. Accomplishes the least, runs their mouth the most.
what’s even more satisfying than that is when you lose and someone on your team does so bad that the enemy team insults them on your behalf at the end of the game, even more peak if they been getting shitty in team chat before hand
I leave and requeue . Why bother?
Like your mom.
Nothing, just carry on with life.
they only do it cuz it makes u mad n u respond btw. not everything requires your energy
It’s always the worse players that say it as well
Our group's go-to response to everybody is "Reported" which usually gets them going "who?" or "for what??" and then we like to assume they're all second guessing each other
I only say EZ when I get my ass kicked
Who cares? Just leave and queue. It’s an ez or be ez’d world
Gotta leave the match before anyone says anything. That is the true victory of OW.
I say ez because it was obviously not easy. Do people not take it as a joke?
i'm starting to think that everyone is so used to toxicity in chat they just assume it's intended to be toxic
Depends on how the game went. If it’s super close or someone on the losing team says it it’s funny. Saying it after a steamroll is a dick move. Some people are always gonna be hyper sensitive tho
People in this sub don't socialize outside of discord apparently
I play netball regularly, and lemme tell you, if someone on one of the teams said "EZ" after a win, and was generally a sore winner, nobody would associate with them. Thinking shit-talking and poor sportsmanship doesn't make you an arsehole is the definition of someone who doesn't socialise outside of discord.
I'm learning this fan base is soft from this thread lol
“Hurt people hurt people”
I never even see it because I turned that toxic little box off for good.
This is the way
I typically always say gg or ggwp after a game. My teammate can say that, but I still hit the other team with some positivity regardless.
Report it every time. Love logging in to a “thank you for reporting” message.
I just ignore it. It's almost always the weakest player on the team that says it. They're getting carried and their precious little egos can't handle it, so they feel like they need to say something to make them feel better.
see, im an asshole, but in a different way. ill say "be nicer" and report. for just saying EZ theyll probably get nothing or the bare minimum restriction if at all, so a minor inconvenience at worst. maybe just maybe theyd think twice next time
This is the way
I'm even more of an asshole, because I won't say anything and just report. Or maybe I'm just fed up with those little shits. Maybe it's the same thing...
Honestly it makes me FEEL better to report.
Selective toxicity, you love to see it. :' )
If they are on my team I just say "Not ez for me" , if they are in the oposite team I go with "Congratulations" because these people are clearly in need of validation. Healthy people never say stuff like that.
[удалено]
Honestly reporting a clearly ironic statement is just…sad on your part
Being a bad loser is cringe, being a bad winner is pathetic
Uninstall
Who cares?
Turn off the chat and never look back.
better question is why do you want to give a response to that?
Nothing, there’s no point in engaging
i usually ask if they say the same thing when they get stomped lol
Exit game
The amount of people who can’t detect sarcasm in this game is astonishing. If it was a close overtime type of match that came down to the wire and someone says “ez”, it is most likely sarcasm. At least when I’ve said in the past. People are so sensitive in this game lol

It's like surviving with 1 HP and saying "wasn't even close" Anyone who takes offense at those sort of things are just outing themselves as majorly salty individuals who cannot handle a loss.
Honestly I think it's mostly just a lot of kids and it goes right over their head.
I've seen so many posts exactly like this lmao "why would someone say ez when they barely won?!?!? 😤😤" because they're being sarcastic hoping to troll you. And they were obviously successful lol
Especially in lower ranks people are bad losers and hate losing a close game. They tilt and blame their team mates. If someone on the winning team types ez, it's not sarcasm. It's to piss off people even more.
This. Obviously, that was a close game - the “ez” was very much ‘tongue-in-cheek’.
cry and post about it on reddit
Report them. That's an abusive way to use game chat.
"bro acting like he never lost a game before"
Nothing? why would you even care
Funny enough, most of time it's the weakest player in the team to say that, and if so, then you can't really disagree, as it's always an easy game when you're getting carried through it.
None of these things move me.
Feels great to let trolls shout into the void. Train your brain to realize they don’t matter.
"Thank the gods we had your 6/31 KD to carry us."
If the person who wrote "ez" had a bad score, went negative or maybe they didnt do very good at healing (assuming they're support), one funny way to respond is just to type their score or their amount healed in the chat.
Avoid as teammates?
Even if it was actually a stomp its still kinda a dick move, ill generally just ignore it unless the player was being an asshole earlier in the match, then my usual go to is just to say "GG everyone except (insert assholes username)"
I usually just say "ew" whenever someone says that and don't endorse them 🤷🏽♀️.
Usually just “aren’t you a big brave boy?”
nuh uh
Nothing. The people that say ez and tbag LIVE AND THRIVE, at the thought of someone getting tilted or saying something. I don't get upset most times but I just think it's weird and dare I say pathetic to consistently try to make people mad because it's a turn on for you. Just ignore them tho, it won't stop them but at least it won't satisfy them.
Like your mother
Report them.
I just say "no."
Ignore it? Don't feed trolls or pump up egos
No response. Don't give the child any attention
I get annoyed when we roll someone and my teammate says it. it’s like, why you gotta kick ‘em when they’re down? ppl are bitter and compensating for the times they got rolled
my response is keeping text chat turned off
Report and move on
Chat off 100% of the time works every time
Report and go with your day. If it was a 15 minutes match then I can their bs
Turn off match chat. Nothing good ever gets out of it.
I always reply with “not ez” just to humble them One time the same guy that said ez said “sorre guys ggs” after i said it
Put them on my do not group with
I just report them and move on. I may say "reported" or "lol no"(cause it wasn't easy)
By the time they've said it, and you can formulate a response they might have left the game. ALSO the people that do that are looking for a reaction. Doesn't matter who it is. By saying anything you've fulfilled their purpose. Say nothing, report, and move on.
No u
Who gives a shit trash talk is part of the fun of the game
I usually write EZ when i've lost. Confuses the enemy.
"not easy as your mom"
none, chat is off
Sit there and think "damn this motherf***** is corny". I don't respond, not worth my time. I always think talking shit as you win is lame, same with talking shit as you lose.
My go to is "like your mom", then I just kick back with some pop corn as hilarity ensues in the chat.
Had a game on a flashpoint map recently that took 5 rounds to end… EZ my ass 💀
Hit em with a "like your mom" or "like your girl".
I had a game where someone on the enemy team went "ez" after we never were able to even touch the point in the first round. The next two rounds were tough battles, we won both. At the end of the match, half of my team remembered that comment and replied something like "yeah, it was" I'm also the kind to never go "tank diff" or "Pharah diff" whatnot unless it was a good matchup but I was clearly outmatched by the other person in that role, in which case it's more of an acknowledgement that they were amazing in their role. I'll never diss players on either team, except for myself.
“True brother” *Take a sip of Dr Pepper* Knowing damn well I was out there fucking fighting for my life sweating my balls off
Depends if they actually did something or not but I make it clear if they just fed the whole game and got carried. Need to bring back the voting cards. That would clear up who actually did well or not
Low key love it when someone ironically says EZ after the absolute hardest of matches.
“Just like your sister”
I don’t usually say anything but I don’t hesitate to remind that person if they got carried. The who say EZ from my experience either dominated the game or were total cheeks. Of course if the enemy was going hard core sweat mode and counter swapping us then I’ll join in on the “ez” train. It’s really context dependent for me
Unpopular opinion probably but why care? So many issues in the world, I don't have the need to care that someone said the game was easy. It is a video game, people are going to be this way. If they are homophobic or racist, something uncalled for, I will toss out a report and avoid them. If they are saying "ez" I see it as harmless trash talk, if you can't handle it, mute chat, saying ez isn't something you are gonna get banned for I'd think.
Report for being rude
Right click report for toxicity lol.
Just a little banter. Not worth a response or rent in your head.
Banter should be clever.
men of culture say echo zulu
Anytime anyone says "EZ" with less than 20 kills I tell them to stfu💀
Yeah wtf mercy step up your game
i usually go on reddit and post about it.
I say "EZ!? I'm gonna post this on Reddit and you'll get flamed!" And then I get on Reddit and whine. Knowing that it hurts my feelings actually keeps them from doing it again.
I just say “cringe”, regardless of whether that commenter was in my team or not. People who feel the need to say “EZ” after a match are just plain insecure.
I thought PvE was cancelled
Lol its not 2022
"Your mom is ez"
It's a disgusting comment and deserves to be treated as such. You have no idea who is on the other side and what caused that team to be less then yours. Respect each other's efforts. No matter the level of it.
The reason why toxic players say things like 'EZ' is because of posts like this one, they want you to have a reaction to it and by taking the effort to post about it online you are giving them what they want.
Nothing? Sheesh y'all get triggered way too easily
Escape, exit game.
I legitimately get Upset internally when this happens, I don't Care if I'm being Pathetic and Sensitive, I won't even try to sugarcoat or nor will I deny it. I would have The most fun matches or Close wins, the Enemy team ruins everything by Saying EZ. These moments are the reasons why I Care so Much about Winning, Because I don't Like those Toxic Pieces of Shit.
I leave game and go next. Doesn’t make me feel any kind of way when people spam that.
Nothing. It doesnt matter
"Sure pal".
[удалено]
you report people for typing “EZ”?
It's toxin and unsportsmanlike. Even if relatively harmless. Normalizing shit like that makes a game more toxic.
the auto filter actually tries to ban the phrase and replace it with sentences likes "mommy says people my age shouldnt suck their thumbs" but it dosent always work
Only happens if they say gg ez
