Is cocky toxic?

Basically, I've climbed more than ever this season because I had a change of mindset. Now I'm basically in the thought process that my team isnt reliable and that only I can really win if I want to and can't depend on others. I only play tryndamere and still tp gank and roam lanes but at some points I'll just straight up think "Okay theres no way we can win fights, we cant work together well" and ill just spend most of the games shoving lanes (Ive won many games doing this.

This is why I have a good winrate on trynd (60%) but my 2.1 KD is nothing to brag about. Some of the things I say go along the lines of "Yall are lucky you got me, free win inc", "Haha dont worry boyz climb on, Im just another hero", along these lines. I say these when Im able to shove to nexus or cleared the enemy team. And yes, I admit to the infamous "ez" in all chat, but I already know that this is technically toxic. So yea, besides the "ez", is being cocky toxic?

The higher your ego soar, the more toxic you will be when you fall.

While saying those EXACT lines would not be toxic and I highly doubt would even get you reported (e.g. no IFS, no punishment), I would advise you to check your ego a bit and don't get overly cocky because the moment you start on a losing streak, you will become bitter and toxic more so than someone with less than 60% winrate.

Btw, I report all "ggez" regardless of which person and which team say it. I believe it will add a very small amount to his toxic history (and add to his reported game count) and every bit helps to get rid of THIS particular kind of people.

I wouldn't consider it toxic, just annoying really.

Yes. If you are on the receiving end, with a frustrating loss, it won't feel good.
