There is an old saying. Not sure if this is the right wording but google puts it as "talking is silver, silence is golden".
It is better to not say anything to your opponent after a humiliating defeat in Crucible than typing a "gg" via a message to them. You will, in most cases, just make them even more angrier at the game or your team.
Surely I am not speaking for anyone but myself. But think about it. Defeats in Crucible can be very frustrating on a general basis. For example my recent situation (and why I make this post):
Saying "GG" after a stomp match that goes 5-0 or 5-1 in Trials is basically for the people on the loosing team in most cases like pouring salt into an open wound. You are only hurting their experience more with that, unless they are very tolerant with defeats in this game.
I recommend to say "GG" only in appropriate cases. A humiliating defeat is not such a case.

11 RepliesGetting rolled or rolling others, saying "GG" to an enemy team is like when two basketball teams go up against each other and at the end game the two captains on each team shake hands. That's what "GG" basically is. If you find it insulting for a team to send such a message after they rolled you hard, then it just goes to show you that you don't understand any respect. I've rolled many players and I've been rolled by many, regardless I get a lot of messages like "GGs" or even sorry about your carry, hope you get them flawless. I've even had people send friend requests. In fact one of my trials buddies is someone I matched and rolled them and he said "GGs". I ended up playing cards with the same guy.
