Don't squad with a player from a higher tier. That would mean the players would be alot stronger and maybe better than you are.
3 of us from the same clan played as a squad. One of the members of the squad was the leader boasting 12/12 bots and weaps.
All i can say, it was a disaster. Out of five games, we only won one. Those of us in the squad except the leader was competing not to be in the last place XD.
It was raining death. Imagine all the high leveled weaps and bots going down on us for a butt 「grape」, metaphorically speaking of course but you get the gist.
Imagine my surprise when i almost lost 50 points. If you are seriously hoping to get to a higher tier but don't have max hangar, don't squad. Total waste of time and effort.
hope it helps.

It's always a (not so) fun experience discovering this  |

Or conversely, do squad, but only with much weaker team mates - you'll still lose but shouldn't have any trouble finishing top two for damage, so still pick up league points ;-)
(I don't do that by the way!)

Squads share and divide total points. So if u squad, and lose, you are taking negative, even if u finish at the top of the table. |

I know this lesson all too well. My young son loves the game and loves to squad up with his old man. While I love playing video games with my munchkin, having him get yanked up into my tier is one hell of a handicap and I have to fight like a demon to make up for it. I wish the game did some overall weighting of the squad's average rating, even if it weighted the higher ranked players more heavily since the lower rated players are at a big disadvantage.
I run into the same problem when I invite friends who started playing later than me to squad. They get pulled into a meatgrinder since they are a few tiers and gear levels below me.

Aw, this stuff pulls at my heart strings. My little guy is only 4, so he doesn't play, but he loves to check out my bots in the 3-D view area. If I see you on the field wearing red, with an exuberant Golem alongside you, I will send my rockets in another direction friend. |

If I see you on the field wearing red, with an exuberant Golem alongside you, I will send my rockets in another direction friend. I'm fair game and probably bodyguarding him.  "An exuberant golem"... Try a wildly erratic PDB Griffin, a frankenbuild Natasha, a Gareth or his latest pride and joy, a stalker. He soooo wants a Lancelot. If you see me squaded with a much lower ranked player named Waterblast (he likes Pokémon too), that's my 6 year old, not a tanker. Usually he struggles to clock 100k when squaded (he's recruit league, I'm silver 2) but once in a while he turns up a healthy 300k+. Still, he has a blast and loves to discuss the game in that obsessive "I must learn everything" way little kids absorb knowledge. So I get the occasional extra loss (not as many as you'd think since he caps beacons and focuses fire with me). Totally worth it to me. |

My daughter is 9 and I play with her but she just loves to jump around and say "bye Felicia" everytime. |
