Why Matchmaking Algorithms are So Important in Tower Rush

If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.

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

The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.

If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.

• There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.
• Accept the RNG.
• It helps them learn before facing real humans.

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.

The Esports Standard

By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.

The algorithm is blind; it only respects victory.
