Why Matchmaking Algorithms are So Important in Tower Rush

Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.

Many players believe that matchmaking is intentionally rigged against them, constantly forcing them to fight 'hard counters' after a win streak.

How You Are Ranked

Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.

This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.

• There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.
• If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.
• It helps them learn before facing real humans.

The Free-to-Play Dilemma

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.

True Fairness

This is why all true esports tournaments and competitive challenges utilize the 'Tournament Standard' ruleset.

When levels are equalized, the matchmaking system shines, ensuring that the better player almost always wins.
