If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.

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.

If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.
It only looks at your numerical rating.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'. Level-Based Matchmaking
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but tower rush games feature upgradeable cards.

To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.

Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.

The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
