How to describe the matchmaking algorithm?

Question

Algorithms

I ran into this issue while developing a game server. CS:GO, DOTA2, OW and other multiplayer games have matchmaking. Please tell me where you can read about this, or if you can, give an example in the text, what needs to be taken into account in addition to the rating and extra. player statistics.

Answer 1

In the end, all your statistics should be reduced to one number (player skill score).
That. on it you can compare players with each other and form teams of approximately equal strength.
As part of the formation of such an evaluation function.
Read how chess players are evaluated + you can come up with a simple evaluation function yourself.
