Pengalaman Player Mobile Legend di Pati Terkait Kecepatan Respons dan Fokus Saat Bermain Studi Fenomenologi Experiences of Mobile Legend Players in Pati Regarding Response Speed and Focus during Gameplay A Phenomenological Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research on Mobile Legends generally addresses aspects of gameplay and player performance, whereas subjective experiences related to response speed and focus during play require further exploration. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Mobile Legends players in Pati Regency regarding response speed and focus, the factors influencing both, and their significance for performance and the gaming experience. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design involving seven purposively selected informants. Data were collected through semistructured in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data grouping, coding, theme identification, and interpretation of informants’ experiences. The findings identified four main themes: the dynamics of response speed in gameplay situations, strategies for maintaining focus, factors influencing both, and perceived effects on performance and the gaming experience. Response speed and focus were perceived to play important roles in decision-making, interpreting game situations, and team coordination. Informants associated variations in both with playing duration, physical and psychological conditions, the quality of internet connectivity and devices, and gaming experience. Strategies used to maintain performance included practicing game mechanics, managing the gaming environment, resting, limiting playing time, and team communication. These findings enrich understanding of players’ subjective experiences in competitive digital gaming and highlight the importance of managing personal conditions and the gaming environment to maintain responsiveness and focus. Future research should involve more informants and examine the relationship between players’ subjective experiences and objectively measured gameplay performance indicators.
