<br>Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Many players believe that matchmaking is intentionally rigged against them, constantly forcing them to fight 'hard counters' after a win streak.<br>

Trophy and Rating Systems
|
||||||
|
<br>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.<br>
|
||||||
|
It only looks at your numerical rating.With millions of players, you will occasionally draw a bad matchup.AI opponents ensure instant queue times for beginners.

The Problem of Card Levels
|
||||||
|
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://git.dotb.cloud/vernoncraddock) 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 inflatedAnti-Strategy CodeDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent

True Fairness
|
||||||
|
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.<br>
