Moment-to-moment decision-making in multiplayer online battle arenas

我的研究着眼于玩家如何在多人在线竞技竞技场游戏（MOBA）中做出决策，比如《英雄联盟》和《DotA 2》，这尤其适用于电子竞技。玩家的决策不仅有可能随着时间的推移影响游戏结果和玩家表现，而且可以转化回现实世界的环境。我相信MOBA游戏的高压，竞争性团队环境中有一些因素无法用纯理论的决策模型来解释，但可以对游戏结果产生强大的影响。这些因素包括个人的冒险倾向、冲动控制、人格特质、直觉等。我正在与球员合作，收集和分析数据，以帮助确定这些因素。我将使用调查和采访，受控实验室实验和从游戏本身获得的数据来得出我的结论。通过弄清楚是什么影响了玩家在MOBA游戏中的决策，以及这与游戏结果的关系，我们可以确定优化玩家在电子竞技中表现的策略。此外，这可以帮助为类似环境（如竞技体育）制定战略。

My research looks at how players make decisions in multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBAs), such as League of Legends and DotA 2, which is particularly applicable to esports. Player decision-making not only has potential to influence game outcomes and player performance over time, but can translate back to real-world environments. I believe there are factors in the high-pressure, competitive teamwork environment of MOBA games which cannot be explained using purely theoretical decision-making models, and yet can have a powerful impact on game outcomes. Such factors include individual propensity for risk-taking, impulse control, personality traits, intuition, and similar. I am working with players to collect and analyse data to help identify these factors. I will be using surveys and interviews, controlled laboratory experiments and data obtained from gameplay itself to draw my conclusions. By figuring out what affects how players make decisions in MOBA games and how this relates to game outcomes, we can determine strategies to optimise player performance in esports. Moreover, this can help inform strategies for similar environments, such as competitive sports.
