nah people know when they’re sucking and you just look patronizing talking like that ever play any competitive games? theres nothing you can say directly to a person when they screw up. you have to just have to ignore and focus on the gameplay. saying anything to them raises the likelihood of a negative outcome.

Coworkers have different incentives than players in a game of Dota. In a competitive game, they'll skulk or grief until the game is over, then queue for another and likely will be matched with other people. That behavior doesn't really work in an office, since people are working with the same colleagues every day.

  is it incentives or are these just the underlying feelings that happen in most people and there isn’t as much of a reason to suppress in an online environment? Sort of like the road rage problem

That's just not true. What do you think happens when the catcher goes to talk to the pitcher? It's not just strategy. "Good eye" "good hustle" "you got this" "we got em on the next one"-- good teammates find lots of ways to support their teammates and keep morale up.

  I think the point behind this discussion is that people will take external input in very different ways, and if you spent some time with your colleage/teammate hopefully you found a way that works for them. There will definitely be catchers that tell you to fuck off if you come to them and they already know what you're trying to say. Praise sandwitches for some, straight requests for other, no direct communication in some cases etc. it needs to be tailored and not a recipe.

Mike Tomlin (coach of the steelers) is a master motivator. I really like what he said to his rookie QB after a bad loss https://twitter.com/sdextrasmedia/status/1585807604277657600 https://twitter.com/sdextrasmedia/status/1585807604277657600 "There's going to be better days. Head, high, fighting all the time." You can see Kenny Picket visibly lift his head up as they walked back to the locker room.

  yea that's because it's his coach. if his teammate said that and it wasn't someone he had a lot of rapport with he'd just say eat a dick
