Stop. Please. For the love of god.
Not everyone is a god, some people only have time to play a match or two after work.
There's a difference between a comm: "Reyna is A link", "I think they're rotating back to B", "They picked up my OP"
And verbalizing how a player should play out an entire clutch:
"Smoke this, then reload, you SAW HER YOU SAW HER, JUST PUSH HER, USE YOUR BLIND, WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PLAY THIS ANGLE, THROW YOUR NADES DOWN, JUST HIDE, JUST DO THIS"
JUST LET THEM PLAY
If being an IGL is that important to you get some more friends, I don't want to listen to your every command me while I'm trying to focus.
You wanna give me a quick tip after the round is done? Cool. You want to make a quick info call-out? Awesome. Stop commanding other player's every move. IDC if you're gold and some dude is playing like a bronze, when its their time to play, let them play, its a game.
Tone also goes a LONG way. After a round if you say, "maybe sage walls mid this time?" its gonna have a way different impact on the player then if you say, "Sage IDK why you aren't walling mid every round" in a condescending manner.
I beg of you, unless you're on some team or playing like Diamond-Radiant levels of Valorant, just let people play. You have a better chance of winning if your teammate doesn't hate you and the game.
