<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>
<br>This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.<br>
The Elo System Adapted
<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>
Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.Patience is required.Losing streaks are also self-correcting.
The Problem of Card Levels
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://nekretninetron.rs/agents/lashaycamidge7/) 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>
Player PerceptionHow it Actually WorksThe Loser's QueueThe 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>By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.<br>
<br>The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.<br>
