Is Smite’s Matchmaking Actually Sentient? Players Weigh In!
The intrigue started when TheToastyToast suggested that the matchmaking system seemed biased against them, leading them to believe the algorithm might be intelligent in some way. Many others echoed this sentiment, sharing their own experiences of unbalanced matches. For example, dank_summers pointed out how opponents in ranked games could have twice as many points (Elo), resulting in puzzling situations and unfavorable results. This left players questioning the concept of fairness in an environment intended for competitive play. The ridiculousness of these mismatches adds a touch of dark humor, as gamers try to find amusement amidst what many view as a glaring oversight. As one user put it, “It’s all fun and games until you’re trying to beat someone who feels like they’ve just stepped out of a professional tournament.” This sentiment encapsulates the frustrations well.
