Why Matchmaking Algorithms Are So Important In Tower Rush

The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.


While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.

How You Are Ranked

The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.


If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.

Level-Based Matchmaking

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

By artificially capping all card levels to a specific number, the algorithm can rely purely on the Elo rating.
