Check that automatic difficulty adjustment treats weak and strong players alike

A game that quietly adapts to the player should leave everyone winning about equally often. This entry shows how to verify that from results by skill group and what a wide gap tells you about the adjustment rule.

Why this works

A balancing system claims to give everyone a similar chance. The only way to know is to look at each skill group separately, because an average can sit at the target while strong players cruise and weak ones drown. Grouping by past results keeps the groups honest.

When not to use it

It cannot tell you whether the balancing feels good. A match can be even and still be dull. And it is little use for a new game with too few players per group. Watch people play and ask how fair it felt.
