<br>If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.<br>
<br>This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.<br>
How You Are Ranked
<br>The algorithm's primary goal is to match you against someone with the exact same—or very similar—trophy count.<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.If you drop trophies, the algorithm matches you against easier opponents.
Level-Based Matchmaking

<br>However, if no such player is available, the algorithm will prioritize queue speed over level fairness, resulting in those frustrating, mismatched games.<br>
