What do you guys think, is it better to offer advice to someone who is failing (in what you see as a nice way) or just not say anything? A lot of people take any advice as a personal attack (including me, one of the reasons I suck is the slightest disagreement puts me on tilt), so it would make sense to not say anything, realize that the person already knows what they did wrong and will try to correct it. But not everyone does this. A lot of people will make the same mistake over and over, essentially feeding the enemy. And some people believe that insults are the only way to go, otherwise they'll go on tilt themselves from the mass public's stupidity.

Usually its best to say nothing or say its alright don't worry about it. If they get caught out twice someone should gank their lane and help them out

Unless the person has expressed clearly that they are open to tips I keep silent. There's no point when you try to be helpful and get assaulted with a tirade of toxicity.

Sometimes I say non directed comments that hope people take the hint. "Man a QSS would really help with that Zed ult."

Be tentative with your advice, but if they take it thankfully, go for it! If they seem even a little frustrated at your offer for help, back down immediately and give them space.

Never insult them, unless you are playing with an IRL friend who knows you're just being a goof.
