<br>If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.<br>
<br>While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.<br>
How You Are Ranked
<br>Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.<br>
<br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
If you are hovering around 50%, you are in the correct arena for your skill level.Because there are fewer Grandmasters, the algorithm struggles to find perfect matches.Losing streaks are also self-correcting.
The Free-to-Play Dilemma
<br>The standard Elo system works perfectly for chess because all pieces are equal, but [tower rush](https://www.postealo.com/employer/expeditiebroeikaswereld) games feature upgradeable cards.<br>
<br>The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.<br>

<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>
