In general...outside of balanced/not-balanced etc. I regard lock mechanics like LRMs and SSRMs possess in its current form in a shooter a weird mechanic.

so, im in a round earlier with my hellbringer fitted with 2xCLRM10 and 6xCSMPL, canyon map.
As we all move off, im running the side flank with the lights on the ridge, hoping from cover to cover, I see someone in a heavy attempting the mad straight line dash for the center hill, so i hold lock on him and watch my team rain down the lurms, as im adding my own 20 shot volleys to the fun. He continues to power to the hill, running across the most open central section of the map in a vain attempt to reach the hill instead of taking cover. You know what comes next......due to the multiple people raining lurms on his mad dash in the open......POP, BANG and i get the lucky hit that awards me the kill....... so I "LOL" in open chat.
well omfg, "that took skill" and "go sit on a plunger" was the response from the dead scrub, who then promptly rage disconnected after having been the first to die without doing a single point of damage, in the first 60 sec's of the round.
lesson here people, if you don't like lurms, don't stand in the open solo without an ECM and hope they are not going to hit you. Don't keep powering on to your favored camping stop, especially on a map that is cover heavy to avoid the lurm rain.
Yes it took zero skill apart from positioning myself as such that i could hold a lock on a player for 20 sec's straight who was totally exposed. It took zero skill for me to gain a further 3 kills in that round because the enemy was one player down in the first 60 sec's.
but it was funny as all **** to watch a player attempt to dash across an open location to reach a hill while totally ignoring the rain for sustained time, to die miserably and pointlessly gimping his team early on. That was why i lol'd.
You are in a way worse than him due to the "lol"-taunting. You did it without being already annoyed and probably angry, while he for sure was (and hey, we all rage one time or the other). Stay classy.

I am not the OP, but I think I can answer that question... because giving advice to people that do dumb suboptimal things like this tends to be even more of an insult in their minds. They will not follow advice, good natured or not. They blame everything and everyone but themselves. At least, that is the experience I have got after dozens upon dozens of times trying to give helpfull advice, in a non-commanding tone. Best reply so far? "FU u cant tell me wat to do". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It makes no sense to set him off when he is in the enemy team anyway and for sure you do not give the enemy avice and you can't be sure that anyone gave him some
