It is actually the game’s fault. Mutes and blocks are a last-line defense, not a first-line defense. Others games do proper moderation and will properly foster a positive community, and while they might have toxic people in them, they cannot be toxic as freely as LoL allowed them to be. Unless you are like, comparing it to a Call of Duty lobby, which is a meme on it’s own for the same reason. League is starting to get around to banning people more actively but they should have started over a decade ago.
Player to player interaction is very important for people to enjoy multiplayer games and it’s one of the reasons for people to prefer them over single player games. You can’t always know who’s an toxic moron ahead of time, and it’s unreasonable to cut out all of the primarily positive interactions with people because of a few idiots who act like schoolyard bullies and try to put everyone else down at any moments and create a negative atmosphere. Trash talk is fine, but the kind of people that say “EZ” often do so at times where they’ve already won. In other words, they’re punching down, and they’re bad winners.
If you do that at a real life event, you’re not going to be welcomed back. Because if you ain’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. And for multiplayer games to survive you need both good winners and good losers, otherwise the only people that eventually stick around are the toxic ones, and the game will die or just be known for it. Like LoL is.
Plenty of games will actually ban people that consistently act toxic yes. Maybe not if you do it once or twice. I’m not sure why you think that’s so crazy. Even LoL itself if you do it enough and people consistently report you for it.
I will never believe anyone will be banned, on any game, for saying EZ at the end of a game. I’ve known plenty of people who acted like this on every game they played and they never got any sort of punishment. This is not toxic, it’s acting like a child, which will never be bannable. Normal people aren’t bothered by that.
Well, if you’ve never heard of it, then it must never happen! You should know this if you play LoL, because they give your messages that your report has resulted in a penalty. Unless you never report anyone toxic.

Normal people aren’t bothered by it. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t toxic, on top of being childish. Besides, children too need to learn that behavior isn’t acceptable.
Pretty sure you can easily survive getting spat in the face too, but I’m sure you don’t think we should normalize that either if some brats do it.
Is it said purely to attempt to denigrate other people’s self worth? Yep.
Is it not said in a situation where it could be considered trash talk and your words could come back to bite you in the ass? Yep.
Congratulations, that’s pretty simply toxic, and cowardly, and childish. And you should really wonder if you want to be defending it in this thread of all places.

What, you expect the game to punish players for saying “EZ” at the end of a match?? Not a single game will ever do that.

I agree. Lemmy users tend to be offended by just about everything, even a post game “ggez”.
Lmao, LoL might just be the perfect game for you. Nobody’s offended, snowflake.
