Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.
Many players believe that matchmaking is intentionally rigged against them, constantly forcing them to fight 'hard counters' after a win streak.
How You Are Ranked
Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.
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.With millions of players, you will occasionally draw a bad matchup.It helps them learn before facing real humans.
Level-Based Matchmaking
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but tower rush games feature upgradeable cards.
However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.

Maintaining Competitive Integrity
By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.
Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.
