This was my exact experience with Dota 2. Then the fuck off guy spends the rest of the match doing everything he can to ensure his team loses.

The only game where I've ever actually seen psychological warfare tactics work is L4D's vs Mode. As a zombie, waiting to spawn, talking shit to the survivors to make them stop moving and type responses to slow them down. 😈

Not sure that's psychological warfare. You aren't messing with their psyche, just exploiting the inefficiency of typing responses.

Maybe like meta warfare? UX warfare?

If they had stronger psyches, they would ignore me and just run to the safe room. 😌 They stopped to demand a 1v1 while a hunter pounced them and ripped their guts out.
