Damn near all online games have some form of matchmaking algorithm, but the point of them is to maximize the time you spend in-game by learning your patterns. There's also matchmaking that intentionally puts you on a team with someone better tan you who has cosmetics you don't, so you hopefully associate being kickass with having that skin.

I wish I were making up that last one.
