The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.
+
While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
+The Elo System Adapted +
Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.
+
This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.
+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 +
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.
+
However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.
+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 +
Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.
+
Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.
