While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
How You Are Ranked
Most modern strategy games utilize a modified version of the Elo rating system, originally designed for professional chess.
If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.
There is no 'anti-deck' conspiracy.If you face a hard counter, it is pure statistical variance.AI opponents ensure instant queue times for beginners.

The system will try its best to match you with someone who has the same trophies AND a similar tower level.
