When we squad with 6 (we are all lvl 30 pilots roughly 54-60% win rate, level 6-8 heavy bots with weps about at 9, all on voice comms), we are getting matched up with TT pilots pretty regularly. We now only squad with 2-3 pilots and we get more balanced matches.
I realize that it is most likely because TT clans are running full squads so it is easier for MM to create the pairing.....but it isn't much fun for either squad.
Anyone else running 5-6 in a squad with level 6-9 heavies with weps around 9? Any experiences on whether you are seeing equivalent bots or TT pilots in your squad matches?
We'd like to run full squads as it is more enjoyable instead of 5-6 smaller squads....but getting creamed by multiple 12/12 Trident Furies is just getting old for us and for the TT guys.
Just trying to figure out ways to keep competing and enjoying the game. Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
[addition - we are all silver clan members who have been building gold hangers for the past 4 months as part of progression and used to play lo gold and silver tiers - we are more social gamers and this notion of farming isn't something we really even bothered doing/discussing. So if you just want to post something like "s*ck it clubber" I've done it for you and no need to help out on this thread - go alter pixels somewhere else]

I played like 5 games with my clanmate with our 8/9 heavy low gold hangars, got put with a minimum of 3 top tier players every game.

In a sense, it does seem fitting though, you shouldn't be paired up with solos on your same levels when you are in a full squad. That's essentially a free win unless the reds are made up of strong players, but as any solo would tell you from experience, a team made up of 4-6 strong players is highly unlikely, even 1-2 is a blessing.
I wonder if they are accounting for squad strength in this new MM. It's over 9000!

I wonder if they are accounting for squad strength in this new MM. It's over 9000! I understand the advantage a full squad brings, but it is not enough to overcome a squad of 11/12 12/12 pilots typically. Your point about MM taking into account squad strength is interesting as that is how we used to do clan vs clan battles in silver....I think it is also easier for MM to slap together two full squads. When we drop in less than 20 seconds into a match, we know we are going up against a full squad of TT. We play, but we are usually mech'ed out in 8 minutes. So we have given up full squads. I'm just trying to understand if anyone is running a 5-6 member squad of lvl 9 wep heavies and seeing comparable full squad opponents - doesn't seem like it is happening right now. I'm assuming that means most have given up running full squads in the near term because of the continuous match ups with top tier pilots. Running 2-3 member squads is okay just not preferable because of the random issues you state above. Thanks!

The mm is the biggest piece of garbage anyone could of come up with, for months I have been getting mails that they are fixing putting 12 max players in low level matches, and this is what they come out with. Put max players in all tiers. We would squad every day, even had it down to a science to get other six man clan squads. This mm just throws in max squads at you now no matter what hanger you got, unless you all work your percentages down by quitting matches. Then you might get some even matches, but from what I have been hearing they are going to try to stop that, lo behold max 12's not being able to jump in against level 4/6's etc.
Sure would be nice to see them have to play each other for the first time ever.
