<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>
<br>While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.<br>
The Elo System Adapted
<br>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<br>
<br>This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.<br>
Do not expect to win every game.Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.
The Problem of Card Levels
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://git.mjbsoft.de/guadalupecoull/1872tower-rush/wiki/The+Best+Tournaments+and+E-Sports+Moments+in+Tower+Rush.-) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.<br>
Matchmaking FactorSignificanceTrophy CountAbsolute Highest PriorityUpgrade StatusThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds
The Esports Standard
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
<br>Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.<br>
