In my experience, things that sound normal for me (stealing buffs, specially) get labeled as that. Lazy people love calling tryhard at such things, since they do want their lane ganked 24/7 and never getting out of it. So calling for a 7 minute invade at blue after a successful gank in mid is some sort of pro strategy that feels to hard to try and do, even if it is easy as heck with good map vision and both jungler and midlaner being healthy.

As I said, I simply believe tryhards to be someone that's in for the win and loves to go a bit deeper into the "difficult" or riskier strategies, while the other kind of guy is the "too good to be in here with you scrubs" wich just likes flaming you for not being the paradigm of perfection. Tryharders, unless also flamers, wont be uncooperative, also in my experience. They tend to be bossy as hell though, since they usually are more proactive than the average player. They will call baron, tell you to push, to dive for that kill...

But hey, my experience is quite limited, so take it with a grain of salt.
