+<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>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
+Understand that a 50% win rate is normal.Because there are fewer Grandmasters, the algorithm struggles to find perfect matches.You will eventually stabilize.
+Level-Based Matchmaking
+<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://gitea.precia.site/katherinmacans) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
+<br>To combat this, developers have implemented secondary checks that look at the player's King Tower level.<br>
+Algorithm CheckSignificanceCurrent RankThe system will always prioritize finding an opponent within a 50-trophy rangeUpgrade StatusThe system tries to match levels, but will abandon this check if the queue takes longer than 10 seconds
+True Fairness
+<br>Because the ladder algorithm must balance queue times against fairness, it will never be perfectly balanced.<br>
+<br>When levels are equalized, the matchmaking system shines, ensuring that the better player almost always wins.<br>
