How does the King of Glory system manipulate player mentality? Is a winning streak followed by a losing streak due to the matchmaking mechanism or human error? (Part 2)


After winning the first game but suffering a crushing defeat in the second, his mentality underwent a complete 180-degree shift. He adopted a gambler's stubbornness, lost his rationality, and blindly rushed forward, quickly starting the third game. In the previous game, he blamed his teammates for being unhelpful, for the system matching him with teammates whose skill level did not match his rank, for being too reckless in team fights, and for not paying attention to teamwork. Initially, his first thought was to figure out where things went wrong, but he quickly shifted the blame and berated them for their lack of skill. With such anger surging in his heart, how could he calmly get through the third game?

Blame your teammates for losing streaks, prioritize dealing damage, and seize control.

In the third game, team spirit failed to work. Players let loose, adopting a lone wolf mentality, playing like a single-player game. Deep down, they felt no one deserved resources, so they ran around frantically, stealing lanes to earn money, killing enemies to vent their anger and seek revenge. Winning became their primary goal, leading to irrationality and a failure to assess the situation. Their teammates couldn't keep up, and a 1v5 situation rarely ends well, unless they had a completely favorable game. Ultimately, they lacked the strength to win, and at the last moment, they were overturned. The experience from the second game quickly manifested in this one: why could the opposing team do it, while their own teammates weren't in sync?

In the third game, the blame was still placed on the team composition. No one could absorb the damage, resulting in a team wipe. The "conjoined twins" strategy failed, making the game incredibly frustrating. The inexperienced teammates were unable to fulfill their roles. In the fourth game, the team decided to switch roles and try to take control of the game's tempo. The jungler failed, the top laner didn't participate in team fights, and the mid laner didn't provide support. So, the team decided to play the marksman. With the support, the duo could work together and the experience wouldn't be too bad. Unfortunately, the team kept getting bogged down in this back and forth, and the team was still the victim.

Switching to support role, victory finally achieved!

This was even more frustrating than the last jungle game. It felt like I was being abandoned. I died too many times. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. All my talk about being patient and never giving up was just empty words. At this point, I should have stopped, adjusted my mood, rested, and left. But I just kept getting deeper and deeper into it. I had to make up for the lost stars and the time I sacrificed. My output was poor and the experience was terrible. In the end, I entered a "give up" mode and played support like a follower.

After playing support, the experience might improve slightly. Since teammates are making their moves, as a roamer, you naturally have to fulfill your responsibilities, protect your teammates, and debuff them. You might miraculously win the game, but after losing five games in a row, you win the sixth game as support, a rare victory. So you might think that the support role is easy. But what actually improves is your gaming mood.
