Dyiing a lot does reduce your time being alive, hence it reduces your map pressure and objective taking. But if it is for the team (you know, scoring an ace while you were the only casualty) then it is of good reason.

I had a friend that was slightly egoistic, but with given time he changed. (He playes Supp in Ranked constantly, and I see him dying less than he died before)
