Hiding the Lord icon might be the method
Every animated icon or lore icon spidey I’ve ran into plays a lot more carelessly in a 1v1 when they see I don’t have a lord icon.
And when I beat them in a 1v1, it damages the ego so they pursue me the entire game and I just stay close to my healers and just keep beating them. Diffed a Lord spidey 11 times one game and he refused to swap off, he just kept coming after me.
And people don’t insta swap to Namor unless you’re going crazy. Otherwise when I had all my stuff equipped just getting one kill made someone swap to that walking fish fillet.
Genuinely it also feels like I get trash talked less when I’m underperforming and praised a lot more when I pop off.
