<br>Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.<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>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<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>
The algorithm does not care what deck you are playing.With millions of players, you will occasionally draw a bad matchup.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
The Problem of Card Levels
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://gitea.vilcap.com/vickeyzaragoza) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.<br>

True Fairness
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
<br>When levels are equalized, the matchmaking system shines, ensuring that the better player almost always wins.<br>
