If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.
+
Many players believe that matchmaking is intentionally rigged against them, constantly forcing them to fight 'hard counters' after a win streak.
+Trophy and Rating Systems +
The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.
+
If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.
+If you are hovering around 50%, you are in the correct arena for your skill level.Because there are fewer Grandmasters, the algorithm struggles to find perfect matches.You will eventually stabilize. +The Problem of Card Levels +
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://www.lms.pidernegi.org/employer/expeditiebroeikaswereld/) 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.
+Matchmaking FactorImportance LevelCurrent RankThe system will always prioritize finding an opponent within a 50-trophy rangeKing Level / Card LevelsThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds +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.
