Can Someone Carry Me to Glory King in Honor of Kings?上荣 The Raw Truth
It's 2:37 AM, my third coffee's gone cold, and my ranked stats are staring at me like a bad breakup. That DM from a random player promising "Glory King boost for $50" got me thinking – can anyone actually carry you to the top tier in Honor of Kings, or is this just another mobile gaming pipe dream?
The Brutal Reality of Glory King Rank
Let's cut through the TikTok highlights and streamer smurf accounts. Glory King (50+ stars) represents the top 0.1% of players in China's biggest MOBA. According to Tencent's 2023 competitive report:
- 98.7%of players never reach this tier
- The average Glory King player has 3,000+ matchesin current season
- Win rates above 65%are considered pro-level
I once paid a "boost service" (don't judge, it was after a 12-loss streak). The booster used my account for 72 hours straight using Zhao Yun jungle. We hit Legendary – then immediately got demolished by actual Glory King squads. Turns out there's a massiveskill gap between ranks.
Why Carries Usually Fail
| Issue | What Happens |
| MMR mismatch | Your hidden rating can't keep up with boosted rank |
| Hero pool depth | Glory King requires 5+ mastered heroes per role |
| Team coordination | Solo queue vs. premade squads is like bringing a knife to a drone fight |
Legit Ways to Actually Reach Glory King
After interviewing seven top-tier players (and wasting ¥800 on failed boosts), here's what actuallyworks:
1. The Grind That Hurts
Top EU server player "LemonTea" told me: "My first Glory King season took 1,847 games with 53% WR. You need to treat it like a part-time job."The math checks out – at 20 minutes per match, that's 615 hours. Basically a second full-time job.
2. Finding Your Role Crack
- Mains matter more than flexibility until high Legendary
- One-trick ponies actually have advantage early
- Pro tip: Master one meta assassin(like Pei or Jing) before expanding
3. The Secret Sauce: Voice Comms
Random queuing is Russian roulette. The consistent players all have:
- Regular squad (even duo queue boosts win rate by 18%)
- Designated shot-caller
- Pre-game hero strategy (not just "I'll adjust")
My WeChat group "NoobGoneWild" went from Epic to Legendary III in two months just by using Discord during matches. Then our carry got married and everything fell apart – such is mobile gaming life.
When Paying for Carries Makes Sense (Maybe)
In some twisted scenarios, boosts aren't completely stupid:
- Season end rush:Last 72 hours see more carries as players panic
- Smurf accounts:Some streamers do legit carries for content
- Learning opportunity:Watching a pro play your account canteach mechanics
But most ¥300 "Glory King guaranteed" services? Total scams. They either:
- Use cheats that'll get your account banned
- Share accounts (violating ToS)
- Take your money and ghost
A Guangzhou player sued a boosting service last year after they dropped him from Legendary I to Epic II. The court ruled it was his own fault for paying – brutal.
The Psychological Trap
Here's what nobody talks about: post-boost depression. Three players I interviewed described:
- Getting destroyed in Glory King matches
- Teammates checking stats and flaming
- Eventually dropping ranks anyway
One guy's exact words: "It was like wearing someone else's Olympic medal. The shame made me quit for six months."
The matchmaking algorithm is smarter than people think. If your micro skills, map awareness, and decision-making aren't Glory King level, you'll get exposed fast. Like wearing a Harvard sweater when you failed high school algebra.
My cat just knocked over my energy drink. Maybe that's a sign I should wrap this up and actually practice my jungle clears instead of writing manifestos about mobile rankings.
