IMO the worst kind of teammate to have

You know what really pisses me off? Players who do badly, get called out and calls that toxicity.

I'd rather they argue against us when called out because that shows that they're at least still rational and want to win, but then you get these players who feed and say that's their way of having fun...

Why call them out in the first place. Just ignore it lmao.

Because they're the direct reason of the eventual loss

Different players respond to being called out differently. Personally, taking my time to respond to someone calling me out for a dumb play does nothing but waste my time.

When you're calling people out, definitely refrain from calling them bad and stick to providing helpful stuff, like "just play safe".

"You're fucking trash" "I'm just trying to help" "Stop making garbage plays you monkey"

He only said calling out, but I thought he may have said something like that at first. What you said is definitely harassment and would be punishment worthy for sure. And you'd be much less likely to get a positive response from your teammate.

it's a bit extreme, but when someone calls me out on something. I'm assuming they'll say something like "Why are you splitpushing?". That doesn't seem harmful at first, but for the most part at the end of the game or even during, that same player is likely to say "gg report ....." or "trash ..... lost us the game" or "this ......."

I usually say "why the hell are you doing" this or that or "dude can you not" this or that. All of which are justifiable, such as warding their own lane to prevent themselves from being ganked or making the same mechanical mistakes all game long. I think the most common recent one would be them completely ignoring my lantern as Thresh and before you say so, I do place them in dead obvious positions such as ahead of allies when escaping or engaging rather than right on top of them

EDIT: I never turn into that guy who just says 'report for trash', what I would say is 'report for <insert reportable offenses>'. I never call anyone out without including the reason for doing so, and most if not all of the times it's basic game mechanics

First, how is someone going to improve their mechanics during the course of a single game? Second, berating someone is unlikely to help them improve, and instead contributes to them playing poorly. Third, you're in bronze 5. Not as an insult, but you should expect some level of poor play at that rank.

Even an idiot would learn to click lanterns over the course of a single game, I'm talking about things on par with that example I'm not gonna be nice to everyone making the same stupid mistakes again and again even after being told what is right/how it should be done/how simple game mechanics work

Yeah.

0/15- "just a bad game"

"You're bad"- "toxic plz report."

Or they might be having an off game...

If an "off game" to you is going 0/15, you're bad.

The worst kind of teammate to have is at the first death, he's instructing the guy that died how to play in a derogatory manner or spam pinging.
