I used to play LOL very high level, and as the game developed so did the toxicity. One of the common things that people did was "ego coach" and abuse people. What I mean by ego coach is, "bro your so trash for doing that" or any similar statements. It's a backhanded compliment.
I'd like to challenge you all to stop telling your teammates they are trash, they are doing bad, or anything like that. It may come as a surprise, but the only person who benefits from those statements is your own ego. Every single person, including pros, have had games where they can't get a kill, and other games where they are playing like their brain is straight linked to the game and they are unstoppable. It's one thing to say it to yourself, but they don't need to hear it.
If your teammate is playing crappy, wrecklessly pushing, etc., try constructively suggesting they change up where they play or their play style, or push with them and when they die get the trade.
TLDR: Telling your teammates they suck, helps nobody but your own ego. Help this community be different than the League of Legends community because this game truly had a good competitive future ahead of itself.

I made my first Valorant montage. Shots are mediocre at best, but I had a lot of fun editing!
