"Work on" things when other people don't need to carry you. Read your tooltips. Randoms aren't obligated to carry you, even if courtesy requires them to be nice when telling you you're incompetent.

You are, however, required by simple courtesy to play your role at an adequate level. If you can't or refuse to do that, you only have yourself to blame when people want to kick you.
That was also my first thought as well. He fully admits he is playing the class wrong, but shows little desire to play better for his teammates. Instead he continues to purposely play the job wrong simply out of apathy. Someone like this would be the exact type to not take criticism well. The type where you try to give some tips and suggestions on how they could improve and they blow up in your face acting like you just killed their first born. We really can't have a conversation on the subject without making many assumptions which I have clearly done myself. But I think most people can agree with someone who actively chooses to play their job wrong is going to take even the slightest criticism as an attack.

So I do agree their is nuance on how to and how not to deliver criticism. I feel the massive elephant in the room is OP most likely was given reasonable suggestions on how to do job better and he flipped out and made this thread. I do think productive conversation can be had even despite this but I think it is important to acknowledge.
