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.

Trophy and Rating Systems

Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.

This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.

• It only looks at your numerical rating.
• Accept the RNG.
• AI opponents ensure instant queue times for beginners.

The Free-to-Play Dilemma

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

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

When levels are equalized, the matchmaking system shines, ensuring that the better player almost always wins.
