The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.
While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
The Elo System Adapted
The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.
When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.
Do not expect to win every game.Patience is required.You will eventually stabilize.
Level-Based Matchmaking
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but tower rush 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.
Conspiracy TheoryThe TruthForced Loss StreaksThe algorithm does not force losses; you are simply playing tilted against harder opponents because your MMR is inflatedThe Deck Counter CodeDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent
Maintaining Competitive Integrity
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.
