Saying "you suck" in response to someone not playing well isn't helpful for anyone. People don't magically improve with only "you suck" as their guidance.

You can be more diplomatic and helpful with criticisms without getting banned. You can instead say "we need more damage on the boss" or "dodge X mechanic by doing Y". There are sometimes ways to make people aware of a situation and give advice without targeting someone specific with what you say. And if things still don't improve then you can vote to kick.

Also I have very rarely seen players being told they're great when they're not. I honestly rarely see players say anything to each other at all aside from a greeting at the beginning and a gg at the end. I legit can't remember the last time I witnessed very undeserving praise.

But I play in EU on Chaos. Maybe it's different elsewhere.
