SMITE 2 Alpha This Month with MOBA Matchmaking

Titan Forge Games announces SMITE 2 will enter a full-time closed alpha phase on August 27th, offering founders a more "balanced" experience in the upcoming MOBA sequel. Part of that equilibrium will come from the game's new matchmaking system which accounts for the variability of the genre. Since players can switch between characters and roles from match to match, SMITE 2 matchmaking will account for this, and give everyone multiple skill ratings:
The new "MOBA Specific Matchmaking" system aims to track the skill level of SMITE 2 players in a multi-dimensional fashion, to more accurately capture how skilled a player is. Instead of using a single rank number, this innovative approach will take into consideration players’ roles and their performance on these roles. That information will then be used to create matches that are not only more equal, but also achieve the main goal of being more fun.
