I think you're mixing levels- in a match with a clear winner, "hurting self" properly means "make my probability of losing higher" not "reduce my in-game resources." I can't reduce my chance of winning to reduce my opponent's chance of winning by more- the net effect is increasing my chance of winning.

I am not so much mixing levels as pointing out that different levels exist.
