The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.
+
This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.
+Trophy and Rating Systems +
Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.
+
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.Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.Losing streaks are also self-correcting. +The Free-to-Play Dilemma +
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://gitea.goldendeliverer.com/kamm5867479876) games feature upgradeable cards.
+
To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.
+Community MythHow it Actually WorksRigged MatchmakingThe 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 +True Fairness +
Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.
+
The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
