<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>Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.<br>
<br>When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.<br>
There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.With millions of players, you will occasionally draw a bad matchup.In the lower arenas, the system often includes 'bots'.
