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.

- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.
