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.
