<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>
Trophy and Rating Systems
<br>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<br>
<br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
The algorithm does not care what deck you are playing.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
Level-Based Matchmaking
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](http://157.66.191.31:3000/marylynsoto604) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br>
Player PerceptionThe TruthForced Loss StreaksThe algorithm does not force losses; you are simply playing tilted against harder opponents because your MMR is inflatedAnti-Strategy CodeDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent
Maintaining Competitive Integrity
<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>
