<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>
Trophy and Rating Systems
<br>The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.<br>
<br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<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://blumacrealtors.com/author/yonggarrick462/) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.<br>

True Fairness
<br>By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.<br>
