"GG"

we have all certainly played ranked PvP and we have obviously had our share of losses.
So after suffering enough defeat I realised all my opponents said "GG" at the end of the match

So my question is have you noticed this, do you say "GG" and is it noticed at different ranks?

Win or lose I offer up a "GG", and if they have played exceptionally well, I mention that, too.

i dont say gg when its someone i know as a friend, in which case i insult them in someway regardless of their performance, whether they win flawlessly or lose horribly, its just how i am with my good friends

I'll keep that in mind if ever we meet again, if you insult me, you like me!

I never say "GG"; I always offer up a "Good match!" instead because I personally hate "GG". It just annoys me for some reason.

I say all gg most all my matches unless some thing luck based wins them the match like a super assassin or some thing along those lines

No one ever gives a "GG" to me when I beat them

How do you know that they're being sarcastic? Is there a "sarcastic" mode to text chat? What if they're being sincere? Maybe it's because you're feeling bad about a loss that makes you think that they're "rubbing it in".

That could be the case. However some people will gg when you're still alive and have a companion left and it comes off as a bit presumptuous. I've learned from watching Starcraft games never to gg too early as it can be embarrassing if you lose, so I usually don't gg until the final blow if I think I'm going to win. Sometimes I say it like a surrender though.

They say it during match when they think they will win, sometimes they don't I laugh my head off though

Oh I hate it when they GG when you're still alive and not even in the red zone! I've turned the tables on two competitors when they were sure they had won ( lol ). I tell them "It's not over yet."
And sometimes I say GG when it's obvious to me, that I've lost.

If there's a sarcastic mode, I need to find it so I can use it 24/7.
