The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.
+
This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.
+The Elo System Adapted +
The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.
+
When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.
+The algorithm does not care what deck you are playing.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.AI opponents ensure instant queue times for beginners. +The Free-to-Play Dilemma +

+
The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.
+System PrioritySignificanceTrophy CountAbsolute Highest PriorityUpgrade StatusThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds +The Esports Standard +
This is why all true esports tournaments and competitive challenges utilize the 'Tournament Standard' ruleset.
+
The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
