Is calling someone "bad" considered toxic?
TBH if you are bad at the game you deserve to be called bad, as long as the person is not using offensive language like ****.

And why would you in the first place? You can give them advice without telling them they're bad. Telling someone they're bad is more likely to just raise their ire and make them not want to listen/get better.
Yes and no. There's no harm in telling a teammate their weakness and offering them a method of improvement, but just upfront insulting them is wrong. Even if all you say is"You are bad" its doing harm and causing your teammate to tilt which WILL cost YOU the game.
If you have nothing positive or constructive to say, just don't say it.
Calling someone bad is indeed toxic behavior. It serves no constructive purpose whatsoever. It doesn't help them identify the mistakes they're making. It doesn't make them a better player.
And if you think about it. If the system matched you with them, that's because their rating is about the same as yours.

And when you call someone bad you deserved to be permabanned, and I'm guessing you shouldn't have any complaints about that, am I right?
Rito considers it to be toxic and bannable. even more than feeding, afking, or general #ineptitude. So you might as well go fully monty on them and tell them to get testicular cancer to go with their gay AIDS. But if you wanna ruin someone's game with impunity, just play like shit and feed and throw matches or just ragequit/afk. The penalty will be less or none at all.
Yes. If you do it often enough you will be permabanned.
They win games as consistently as you do; that's why the system matched you together. This means that they objectively are just as good/bad as you are, and you have no right to call them whatever.
Why bother? It's a waste of your time to say it and it helps nobody.
Calling someone bad is toxic, even if they are bad. The best thing you can do is offer some constructive criticism and hope they listen.
