I finally took a reasonable steps to be less toxic.

Step one: If I am annoyed with someone i criticize them in the most ridiculous way possible so it is fun/light hearted. For example, I would say "be a real fucking American and get your CS up, this country wasn't built on kills alone". Almost taking on a Stephen Colbert persona. Making a point, but being so absurdly ridiculous about that the person can either say something just as absurd back and its funny or they actually take the advice. If I take on the persona and someone still disagrees with me at least they are disagreeing with my persona im presenting and not my actual personality. I know that sounds strange, but I think it keeps me having fun, and its fun for the people who understand satire.

Step two: For every ranked game i lose, I go and play one or two norms with the spot i lost at. Keeps me learning so I feel I am better prepared for the next match up in ranked.

Unfortunately, you can still be banned for this because league players like to get triggered at everything. As soon as you put fucking in anything it's toxic.

Expect it is. I once sarcastically said you are so bad ;) to a player after they lost thier 10 kill streak who i had been saying gj and good teamwork too and guess what happend...instant flame and report threats. This community is truly a bunch of safe space snowflakes that cant handle criticism.

The thing is that it's often difficult to detect sarcasm through text, especially when in the heat of the moment, and also especially if you don't state that it was sarcasm. Criticism is fine when stated in a helpful and respectful manner. Things like "get gud at csing scrub" is not helpful or respectful at all whatsoever, but things like "stay farther back and use your ranged abilities to cs instead" is both helpful and respectful. but if someone doesn't want to listen to it then don't keep egging them on about it.

You could also not criticize them and look for mistakes you've been making.

How do you like that criticism? I am faultless.
