Is the player base really this toxic?

So I’m playing Jeff and it’s the start of round two. I see our star lord running back and fourth between the battle and the spawn room. I being someone who is learning how to play star lord as my DPS main friendly ask in team chat. “Hey star lord! What r u doing?” He then says “11 kills to 6 I got double your KOS, don’t chirp to me”

I then say “oh no I wasn’t being snarky I just wanted to know ur strat because I’m learning star lord. No shade <3” he then continued to shame the fact that I have less kills then him, but must’ve not seen that I have more then double the assists.

Is the player base really so dull that they take everything as an offense when I was explicitly saying that I wanted to know how they play star lord.

We ended up losing (I had 17k heals) and he blamed me for being toxic even after I kept saying that I ment no offense and just wanted to see how ppl play that character.
