If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.
+
While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
+How You Are Ranked +
Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.
+
This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.
+If you are hovering around 50%, you are in the correct arena for your skill level.Because there are fewer Grandmasters, the algorithm struggles to find perfect matches.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.clubeye.net/karissaalston) games feature upgradeable cards.
+
The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.
+Community MythThe Mathematical RealityThe Loser's QueueThe 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 +
By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.
+
The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
