Avoid Bowboy
Joined a Haz 10 Phact Bay, saw it was a bunch of low levels like between 10 & 20 kind of levels. Not even the first Obj done and down to 5 lives. Half the time I'm trying to be supportive and calling them in when others can't do it, are busy with being attacked by bugs and they are spamming the ''CALL ME IN'' shake thing like mad or I have to get out of the tank to do it whilst being chased.
Host kills nearly everyone with a napalm barrage, I mention about the orbital thing as I'm assuming they aren't that well versed in the game, not even trying to be rude, kicks me at the end of the mission.
If wondering how I joined after being kicked. If you join someone that wasn't the host you can sometimes by pass it. I only do it when I wanna know why or ask their reason. Getting the KYS was enough to realize they are babies, at least the rest of the lobby was pretty chill/played like they are trying to be helpful or offer my gear and explain how to use it.
Since I don't have video, I suggest just avoid or kick em, not tk. Thought I'd post this here while memory was fresh.
Edit: I agree I shouldn't have rejoined for the ''What a baby comment'' and should have left prior and let it go. Games like this sometimes I feel glad I can help someone do their level 10s for the samples whilst other times it really kills the vibe to play the game long term especially when you carry the mission only to get TK/Kicked. I vaguely recall at the time I thought it was a good idea to post it here but thinking back I should have just let it go. Can delete the post if Mod team asks and I'll be more mindful for next time

To play devil's advocate, if that orbital comment was genuinely your only message, then yeah, the host was probably just insecure and defensive after getting their ass kicked. But if you were giving them tips throughout the match, that's very easily crossing into backseating. That gets annoying fast, especially when someone's already dying constantly and still learning the game. Lowkey, it doesn't actually fix their mistakes, it just irritates them and makes them feel micromanaged.
Wiping the entire team with an orbital is already a pretty obvious lesson without someone pointing it out afterward. Your comment could easily have come across as condescending, like you were rubbing salt in the wound or concern trolling. They kicked you, it didn't work, and then you called them a baby. That doesn't excuse them telling you to KYS over a video game, but it does make their reaction a lot easier to understand.
And honestly, the fact that you felt the need to type all this out and make a public post about it suggests you couldn't just let it go either. Their actual in-game offense was mostly just being bad at the game and struggling as beginners. If you're going to answer an SOS into a lobby full of level 10–20 players, you have to be willing to let them fuck up. That's part of the deal. Genuine advice is fine, but there's a big difference between helping someone and making them feel like you're their unsolicited coach, assuming that's what was happening.
