Recency bias can come into play, but it's also hard to blame fans for choosing the 2022 season as a tougher loss after all the hype coming into the postseason. The Dodgers were breaking records and were on set to become the best team in the history of the franchise.
Those hopes quickly came to a shattering end. This didn't stop fans from giving their takes on why they thought the 2019 loss was a bit worse without the championship at the time.
I’m more used to the disappointment now. The sting doesn’t last. Also, they hadn’t won it all yet, back in 2019.

The sting nowadays is a bit different than before, but to be fair the Nationals did win the title that season. This season the Dodgers lost all hope and they lost it to their NL West rivals.
Nats won the WS and ain’t our rivals.

Which ever the reasons given for choosing what was worse, all that matters is the Dodgers have given their fans major disappointment. There's a long off-season ahead and the Dodgers will have plenty of time to make some moves to avoid further disappointment next season.
