<br>Behind the colorful graphics and intense gameplay of every successful arena battler lies a complex, invisible mathematical engine.<br>
|
||||
<br>While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.<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>
|
||||
The algorithm does not care what deck you are playing.Accept the RNG.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
|
||||
Level-Based Matchmaking
|
||||
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](http://103.119.85.197:3000/shaychelmsford/tower-rush1986/wiki/How-to-Coordinate-with-Teammates-in-2v2-Tower-Rush) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
|
||||
<br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br>
|
||||

|
||||
The Esports Standard
|
||||
<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>
