<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>
<br>This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.<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>When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.<br>
Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.
Level-Based Matchmaking
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://yazooli.net/read-blog/111913_how-to-counter-popular-tower-rush-strategies.html) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.<br>
Conspiracy TheoryThe TruthForced Loss StreaksThe algorithm does not force losses; you are simply playing tilted against harder opponents because your MMR is inflatedRigged Deck MatchingDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent
The Esports Standard
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
<br>The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.<br>
