Marvel Rivals players have suspected for some time that the game has ditched skill-based matchmaking, or SBMM, in favor of something called engagement optimized matchmaking, or EOMM. The devs at NetEase haven't fully explained how the matchmaking system works, but it seems that's about to change in the near future.
"Matchmaking is a complex system," creative director Guangyun Chen explains in an interview with YouTube channel Rivals Assembled, "and we are preparing a video to talk about all the matchmaking things. So stay tuned. Maybe in two weeks."
