<br>The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.<br>
<br>This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.<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>This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.<br>
There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.Accept the RNG.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
Level-Based Matchmaking

<br>The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.<br>

<br>The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.<br>
