 <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>
 Trophy and Rating Systems
 <br>Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.<br>
 <br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
 Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.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://owndom.com/author/mayahillgrove/) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
 <br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br>
 Community MythThe Mathematical RealityThe Loser's QueueThe algorithm does not force losses; you are simply playing tilted against harder opponents because your MMR is inflatedThe Deck Counter CodeDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent
 Maintaining Competitive Integrity
 <br>By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.<br>
 <br>Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.<br>
