Here is a reddit post I found from hirez-erez that I found to be pretty informative about how matchmaking works in smite!

In short: One can easily smurf themselves on any level. Play a bad god (or a god with poor competition value), do extremely poorly in several games, blame it all on the bad god, then go back to your favorite god and wreck all the legitimately poorly skilled players.

No matter what you do to prevent smurfing, its always gonna happen in some form or another. This one in particular requires a little more effort than usual, but it can still be done.

EDIT:
If you also do poorly with a favorite god on a certain game type (eg. Me as Loki in arena), you can easily do this to put yourself in matches with players of poor skill so you can practice without getting destroyed. Eventually you can build your elo back up and do well against players of equal skill.

What kind of system do you expect them to have then? Know if you are throwing your current match to get lower ELO and not count it? If someone is going to spend the time losing on purpose to get a little lower ELO, to hopefully get an easier game then there's no way around it. Either that, or just have a random team selector, which is a terrible idea.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
