Why did the team lose points in the King’s Championship? Revealing the phenomenon of “reverse scoring” in games
Recently, the "point-dropping fleet" in "Honor of Kings" has become a hot topic among players. This operation of deliberately losing the game to lower your rank may seem counterintuitive, but it has a unique in-game logic. This article will combine the popular discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon and display relevant information through structured data.
1. What is a team that has lost points?

Point-dropping teams refer to the gaming behavior of multiple players who form a team and deliberately lose the game in the qualifying match to quickly lower their rank. This behavior is usually done collaboratively by multiple rows of players to achieve "reverse points scoring" through passive competition or direct surrender.
| type | behavioral characteristics | Common ranks |
|---|---|---|
| Career points loss | Organized and premeditated team behavior | Star Glory-King |
| Entertainment points dropped | Points dropped for jokes between friends | Diamond-Star Glory |
2. The main reasons for the appearance of teams with points dropped
1.Power leveling needs: Some players lower their ranks to accept more power-leveling orders, and the price difference between high-rank and low-rank accounts is obvious.
2.Bring girls to score: Some players deliberately lower their rank in order to form a team with lower-ranked friends.
3.Escape matching mechanism: Under the ELO matching mechanism, players with high winning rates are often matched with weaker teammates. Lowering your rank can temporarily circumvent this mechanism.
| Reason type | Proportion | Typical player group |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial power leveling | 45% | Professional training studio |
| social needs | 30% | Fixed fleet players |
| System circumvention | 25% | High winning rate individual player |
3. The impact of points-dropping teams on the game environment
1.Destroy the normal player experience: Teams that lose points often lead to unfair 4v5 or 3v5 matches, seriously affecting the game experience of other players.
2.Disrupt the ranking system: A large number of points drops have led to a decrease in the gold content of the rank, and the mismatch between the real strength and the rank has increased.
3.Give birth to gray industry: Professional point-dropping services have formed an industry chain, and illegal activities such as account trading and power-leveling have increased accordingly.
4. Game official response measures
Tencent Game Security Center has recently strengthened the monitoring and punishment of point dropping behaviors:
| Penalty type | Frequency | Penalty intensity |
|---|---|---|
| Point deduction penalty | Average daily 500+ cases | 8-16 points/time |
| Account ban penalty | 200+ cases per week | 3 days-1 year |
5. How should players deal with teams that lose points?
1.Report promptly: Report suspicious behavior immediately, and the system will make a comprehensive judgment based on data from multiple events.
2.avoid peak hours: Point-dropping convoys are mostly active late at night and early in the morning. Avoiding these periods can reduce the probability of encounters.
3.Choose Solo: The probability of multiple platoons encountering a team that has lost points is significantly higher than that of a single platoon.
The phenomenon of teams losing points reflects the complex game between game mechanics and player behavior. Although this kind of behavior is difficult to completely eliminate in the short term, through the joint efforts of officials and players, a fair gaming environment can be maintained to the greatest extent. For ordinary players, maintaining a good attitude and focusing on improving their skills is the best strategy to deal with various abnormal situations.
