<br>If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.<br>
<br>While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.<br>
How You Are Ranked
<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>
The algorithm does not care what deck you are playing.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.It helps them learn before facing real humans.
The Problem of Card Levels
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://118.41.199.103:4443/lynellpak94600/tower-rush8063/wiki/How+to+Coordinate+with+Teammates+in+2v2+Tower+Rush) 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
The Esports Standard
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
<br>When levels are equalized, the matchmaking system shines, ensuring that the better player almost always wins.<br>
