Stop telling people how to play the rest of the round after you've died.

I've been getting increasingly more frustrated in ranked over the past few weeks as it seems I've been encountering more people that would like to play the game for other people after they've died. The person that is playing a 1v2 trying to clutch do not need to hear, "use your flash, look right, check cubby, etc." The information that is worth giving is something along the lines of, "raze hit 120, last seen uhaul." Or something along those lines.

When this happens to me, I try to ignore it until the round is over. I then politely say, "if you're dead, please don't talk." And everyone says, "bruh, why so toxic?" It's incredibly frustrating and gets me killed way to often. Even when I see it happening to other players it drives me nuts.

Even the players that try to dictate agent select are incredibly annoying. The people that instalock agents are usually the culprits that will tell other people what agent to play. "We need a sage. Player 3 play sage. WTF WHY DIDNT YOU PICK SAGE?!" Like, if you think we needed a sage then why did you instalock yoru?

Just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for reading.

Edit: u/mloofburrow made a really good point in the comments. If you need to tell the 1vX clutch player something, keep it informational not directional.
