Thing is, when they struggle too hard or have a too low win-loss record, it can quickly shift from "I hope they succeed soon" to "Oh man, they deserved to win now" to "WHEN THE FUCK ARE THESE WEAKLINGS GONNA WIN?!" Oh yes. I dislike stories where everything goes wrong, the hero never catches a break, and bad shit happened because 'bad shit needed to happen here'. But I also enjoy stories where they struggle to overcome the bad shit. It's...a fine line. Too much and I don't like it, not enough and I just kind of go "Meh, it was fun but not my favourite".
