High Win Syndrome

Intentionally being targeted by multiple other players in a video game for having more experience, a higher amount of wins, a better rank than others, or anything that would immediately make them a prime target for elimination for no good reason other than to annoy them or cause them to stagnate in progress.

Prime examples where this would occur are games with a leaderboard, or where you can see another player's stats, and/or where doing such actions would not be punishable in any way, such as games that don't reprimand players for trolling and harassment.

Tom: "Man, Jake's getting destroyed in this game! He's top 10% on the leaderboard, yet he can't even get a single win today, even in free-for-all mode, where there are no teams!"
Charlie: "I know, right? He must be suffering from high win syndrome today. Everyone else is teaming on him so that he can't have a fighting chance!"
