There was some feedback on how inconsistent the results for some abilities of the Promptables are. When we evaluated the match results, we could validate that there is an issue with the AI-Referee and found a visible bias.
Currently, we can see that player 1 wins distinctly less than player 2. In the beginning of a match, it’s randomized which player is player 1 or player 2, so the total number of wins should be nearly identical. This disadvantage for player 1 is the reason why some abilities seem unreliable.
Originally the current AI was implemented to negate the influence of the first round for the result of the whole match. Additionally, it got more likely for a round to end in a draw if similar or neutralizing abilities met each other. These changes seemingly introduced the bias. Though, we don’t know what exactly caused it.
This is why we decided to temporarily reset the Duel-Referee to its release version while we continue to work on the problem.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
