<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>

<br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
It only looks at your numerical rating.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
