<br>If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.<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>When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.<br>
Do not expect to win every game.Patience is required.Losing streaks are also self-correcting.
Level-Based Matchmaking
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://lawrencewilbert.com/read-blog/80313_how-to-effectively-use-air-units-in-tower-rush.html) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br>
