How are they designed for rage loops do you think?
Rigged matchmaking for one. You get easier opponents at first or just straight up bots to give you some wins, then you get placed as cannon fodder for other people to rack up some wins and after a few losses riling you up, you get placed back into a bot match to give you that hormone boost you sorely needed.
Exactly , but not only that, time limited grind will force you to play even if you don't feel like it, as they abuse your FOMO. Even worse in free2play games.
Then you have grind achievements from battle pass or equal, like "win 10 matches to get X requirement" which will make you furious once you lost 10 matches in a row. Because they are rigged, to extend your playtime.
