<br>Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.<br>
|

|
How You Are Ranked
|
||||||
|
<br>Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.<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>
|
||||||
|
If you are hovering around 50%, you are in the correct arena for your skill level.Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.

Level-Based Matchmaking
|
||||||
|
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](http://gitlab.kedai-sayur.com/houstonhorgan) 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>

Algorithm CheckSignificanceTrophy CountThe system will always prioritize finding an opponent within a 50-trophy rangeUpgrade StatusThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds
|
||||||
|
Maintaining Competitive Integrity
|
||||||
|
<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.<br>
