If this system fails, the game becomes a frustrating, unplayable mess that bleeds players instantly.

While this conspiracy theory is widespread, the reality is much more mundane and focused entirely on mathematical fairness.
Trophy and Rating Systems
Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.

When you go on a massive winning streak, your trophy count inflates, and the algorithm begins matching you against significantly better players.
If you are hovering around 50%, you are in the correct arena for your skill level.Patience is required.Losing streaks are also self-correcting. Level-Based Matchmaking

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