I got my friend into Smite recently and he's just started (not even level 10) so I wanna play games and help him out but there is a huge level and skill difference between us and I don't want to toss him into games way above him if I can help it. So how does matchmaking work when in a party? Is it the leader they take into account or is it combined from the party members?

You'll likely get matched with lower skill players (your team and enemy team)

Speaking from personal experience when i played with draisaitl when he switched from xb1 to pc.

It's supposed to be based off of your combined ELO, but given how wonky match-making can be, I wouldn't put too much stock into it. I wouldn't invite a third until your friend gets used to the game.

I think they generally try to average out the calculated skill levels, so you might meet somewhere in the middle of you two, with a lot of consideration given to the newness of the other player.

One other thing to note, I believe, is that teaming with someone automatically increases that average to a degree...they assume teamed players have a greater possibility of better teamwork and communication.
