<br>Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.<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>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<br>
<br>When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.<br>
There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.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://git.hivetasks.com/fobearl3910368) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.<br>
System PrioritySignificanceTrophy CountAbsolute Highest PriorityKing Level / Card LevelsThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds
True Fairness
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
<br>Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.<br>
