mosesYou don't squad much if you think that will help. Pixonic has deliberately designed it so that mixed squads are forced to face overwhelming opposition instead of fair and decent matches. This is not a rant but simple truth as everyone familiar with the system can attest. Sorry psyknyss, that's the way Pixonic wants it and you for that matter. Frustrated and pissed off because they believe it will induce you to spend money on their game upgrading and buying expensive toys. Welcome to the forum by the way.?

I dont really agree with the OP. I play with friends, usually across leagues, and we do fine. I also don't like being called a moron. Extra Orkan fire inbound for Sgt Fury when I next see him in red. Can we squad iOS & Android together (of course we can't...sad)? Tho I'd love to add some plasma fireworks to those orkans  |

Frustrated and pissed off because they believe it will induce you to spend money on their game upgrading and buying expensive toys. Welcome to the forum by the way.? OP complained that other blues squading with lower league players was screwing him over. Others countered that they want to do it to train up clanmates, show them what it is like in higher leagues, etc. If this group of people want to do mixed squads then as long as they are doing it in full squad then OP's problem is solved. Now it is a second issue that full squads often get matched against other full squads and this may make it harder for mixed squads to win. But that is not the point of this thread. |

Because of how it is designed it is impossible for different ranks, or differently upgraded hangers, to play well together. Pixonic deliberately designed it that way through their league rankings and their mm algorithm. A hanger based mm would prevent lopsided matchings. Even better having the ability to self adjust your equipment to match your clan and/or squadmates would help prevent lopsided matchings as well. The point is is that it could have been prevented but Pixonic deliberately chose not to allow easy fair matching. |

I know well that you have a point to make. One way I recently saw that might be appropriate for your current crusade is the approach that Muhlakai took: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/12311/waiting-shiny-korean-dash-scourge?page=1&scrollTo=152889He wrote this post and whenever he finds it relevant to add his opinion to another post he links to that. This has the benefit of a single, clear articulation of his point of view in detail that he can include in a link in any other thread without filling that other thread with long off topic posts reiterating his original point. If you put together the same with your alternative vision of matchmaking it might help you spread the word. I am looking forward to reading your detailed thread on the alternative approach to matchmaking and I am sure others are too |

Being one of the top fighters in my Clan, I understand both sides of the coin. I've been part of a blue compliment of weak bots and I've lead them too.
For the sake of team-ship, I don't care about wins/losses, I just play. So as long as we have fun, I just look at the Red team and tell the squad we were out gunned and shrug it off.
Sometime MM works and most times it doesn't. The time it works is the best and for those few times I continue (infrequently) squading with guys 2,3,4 leagues lower.
Some times clan mates leave early because their watching the game for 4-5 mins since they botted out, sometimes they rage quit the squad not even saying bye. All depends on the people in the squad and seriousness of the game.
For the people that fill in those spots our Squad might leave. Sorry but it's just a game, we're not deliberately sabotaging the match like a Tanker will.
Water off a ducks back.

Mixing leagues is fine if the low level guy had a good amount of skill and a good hanger, usually the gold people have good hangers just like diamonds and experts.
One other thing, the squad MM is weird, you tend to face high levels even if you don't usually face them in solo.

Confining facts to one thread makes it less likely anyone will see it. |

you guys do not know how lucky you have it, come over to face book Game room and see, you at start will be placed with higher levels and this is a common as muck, as a champion league there will be 2 of us doing all the work whilst the other poor 4 guys sit there bewildered and getting their 「multiple dookie delivery chute」 blown away! this is almost every match unless you do squad up.
