When one player is running a min/max character he will be happy when he gets to shine, but when the chips are down, he's taken some crits and his build isn't carrying the day he will start berating the rest of the players for not being sufficiently min/maxed. Then follows the backseat driver stage where he tries to manage the other character's actions. Being told what your character should do is toxic.
