<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br> |
|
|
|
|
|
<br>Many players believe that matchmaking is intentionally rigged against them, constantly forcing them to fight 'hard counters' after a win streak.<br> |

The Elo System Adapted |
|
|
|
|
|
<br>The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.<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.You will eventually stabilize. |

|
|
|
|

<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://www.tacticallysolved.com/olenwheeler550) games feature upgradeable cards.<br> |
|
|
|
|
|
<br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br> |

The Esports Standard |
|
|
|
|
|
<br>By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.<br> |

|
<br>Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.<br> |
