Don't test the patience of gamers. This applies not only to students but also to many professionals in the gaming community. Anyone who dares to manipulate the data and wastes precious leisure time will face legal action. Recently, a female player named Sun Qian, a lawyer, felt she was losing inexplicably in ranked matches, going from winning streaks to losing streaks. While most netizens vent their frustration on social media, she, citing consumer rights, demanded that Tencent disclose its matchmaking algorithm, make the mechanism transparent, and give everyone an explanation.
The lawsuit filed by players against Honor of Kings quickly became a trending topic, with many expressing their support and even providing screenshots as evidence in the hope that it would help. Initially, the discussion was high, but then it fizzled out. Recently, there has finally been an update: the court has not yet made a ruling, but it has changed the cause of action. Initially, it was a dispute over a network service contract, but now it has been changed to a data dispute. Her demands remain unchanged, and she has no intention of bowing to capitalism.
Sun Qian is a veteran player, and he feels compelled to speak out against unfair matchmaking. However, the outcome of a match involves numerous factors, including player performance, teammate skill, and network speed. Furthermore, Honor of Kings has published a comprehensive analysis of its matchmaking algorithm, which states that the game doesn't intentionally create "bad teammates" during winning streaks. Individual performance varies, and countless factors influence the outcome. The system's job is to assess overall ability based on data and try to find suitable teammates. Who do you think will ultimately win?
Sun Qian's lawsuit may seem insignificant, but if the judge rules that the game is wrong, then this case will determine the future trend of the algorithm.
