Why Matchmaking Algorithms are So Important in Tower Rush

The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.

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.

When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.
There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.Accept the RNG.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'. The Problem of Card Levels
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.
Player PerceptionThe TruthRigged MatchmakingThe algorithm does not force losses; you are simply playing tilted against harder opponents because your MMR is inflatedThe Deck Counter CodeDevelopers have confirmed repeatedly that the algorithm does not read the contents of your deck when finding an opponent True Fairness
Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.

Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.
