<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>
<br>While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.<br>
Trophy and Rating Systems
<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.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.
The Problem of Card Levels
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://www.trueposter.com/damarisw03935) 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>

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>
