    I swear sometimes I play better under certain screennames or i treat my teammates differently depending on their screenname.

      nope i won as much as i lost with "19 y.o dead inside" players, difference is when i win i queue next but when i lose i tell them plz dead outside before queue next.

        Doesn't affect winrate directly but it can affect allies & ennemies mentality.

        My allies know from minute 0 that I'm toxic with my screen names so they have no surprise when I start going "all muted f**k you all idc mode".

        My ennemies think tilting and hating on me will make me abandon whereas my only goal in game is to make them suffer and destroy them.

                My beloved ones are "animal" ones, or people that always write "you animal" in the end of every sentence. <3 So much love in such games. Such people find joy in toxicity and triggering others.

                Worst nickname I ever encountered was Benao. Guy with literally 50 steam pages of negative comments. That game was memorable. :D He was banned both on dotabuff and dota.

                        Yea I think it does affect you to a certain extent, especially the second one. When your "mid or feed" "cyka blyat" SF starts pinging on your tangoes at the start of the game the CJ meme pops up. About the first one it's more of the other way around imo, how you've been playing/feeling earlier has an influence on your nickname.

                          I swear to you if you use hot girl names you often have better games as enemy virgins subconsciously try to please you.

                            That depends on your screenname variants. You'll either get lucky or bumped down if you have a creative screenname. But when you see a Chinese or Russian alphabet screenname on DOTA 2, oh boy things are about to get wild and crazy on your match.
