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.
How You Are Ranked
Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.
If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.
- Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.
- Queue times increase at the top of the ladder.
- You will eventually stabilize.
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.
However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.
| Algorithm Check | Importance Level |
|---|---|
| Current Rank | Absolute Highest Priority |
| Upgrade Status | The system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds |
True Fairness
This is why all true esports tournaments and competitive challenges utilize the ‘Tournament Standard’ ruleset.
Trust the math, ignore the conspiracy theories, and focus on improving your own gameplay.
