Improved Balance in Multiplayer Online Battle Arena Games

March 30, 2018

The Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game is a popular type for its competition between players.

The traditional method of finding unbalanced factors in a MOBA game like DOTA2 is mostly based on professional tournaments, which is a small minority of all the games and not real-time. We develop in this thesis an evaluation system for the DOTA2 based on big data with clustering analysis, neural networks, and a small-scale data collection as a sample.
