IVK MMR -- born from our in-house development at Invokation Games -- redefines skill-ratings with exceptional transparency, fairness, and adaptability; enhancing the gaming experience for both players and developers.

Transparent

With IVK, there's no need to hide MMR. Developers can show each player exactly how and why their rating changed after every match, or whether they're the underdog or the favorite going in.

Low Maintenance

Other MMR systems suffer from rating drift, expansion, or collapse. IVK provides stable ratings that don't require developer maintenance.

Adaptable

IVK MMR is adaptable and configurable for all game types; from 1v1, to Team Deathmatch, to Battle Royale -- or anything in-between.

How it works

Invoke the IVK REST API from the game with a simple POST request over HTTPS

Game sends match results to IVK

Typically this occurs once (at the end of the match). Battle Royale games may alternatively send requests for each team or player elimination.
API performs calculations

IVK computes each player's new matchmaking-rating according to the game's custom configuration.
Game receives new MMR values

The game server (or backend services) receives the new MMR values and explanatory data. The game can write the new values to persistent storage and optionally present the data to players.
