The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.
+
This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.
+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.
+Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.Patience is required.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.
+The Free-to-Play Dilemma
+
The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://pod.tek.us/@antonettamealm?page=about) 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.
+Community MythThe Mathematical RealityForced Loss StreaksThe 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
+The Esports Standard
+
Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.
+
The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
