How about we make a compromise right now with the current system?
ELIMINATE THE SQUAD MM ISSUES RIGHT NOW.
Squads going into MM should take into consideration the person with the highest stats and put into the Queue accordingly.
If the entire squad is geared up for T3, they go into a T3/4 according to the person with the highest stats as if his squad mates were tagging along with his normal queue.
That should make me, and everyone else happy. And it will be fair because then it cannot be abused cause, if you have good stats, then you will be going up, if not, down.
That is exactly what I was suggesting. That would be perfect. 100%.

^ This, please. Because at this time, the MM thinks that every single squad is only composed of uber-pro players. It needs to distinguish if it’s a low skilled squad, an average skilled squad or a pro-squad, and send them to the right queue.
If you are still facing players 2 Tiers higher or lower, please submit the log files in the according forums.
What for? Nothing happens, anyway… Yesterday, we had a grand total of 10-ish matches. We had a T3 (R9) 3-man squad. We got queued into the R10-12 queues. I’m ok with that. What I wasn’t ok with was watching the game repeatedly xxxx either team in the xxxx. Heavily. ALL our matches involved heavy curbstomping of the enemy team.
The SOLE squad we picked up on was an R8 from WPK, as well and they were 4-man. And on our side, we had an R15 pilot.
Then the queues started getting… stupid. 5-8 minutes queue and guess what we faced… That’s right… R15 pilots.
So, again, I ask, what’s the point in bringing logs to the noise? You have YOUR logs… Or… wait… does that NOT tell the devs what they, by obligation, NEED to know?.. Well… that’s a little upsetting…
well estimating there is a lot of battles per day, they won’t pay someone to look at all the logs. They need information to know where to look at. And this is more easily done by the players.
Still if dev wait to have a lot of logs before fixing thing (that seems to be the case) they won’t have many since only forumers do send their logs.
How large was your squad? Some joker in your squad had one T4 ship which he didn’t use but it affected MM value of your squad?
(Just asking the obvious question so it can be counted out as a reason for this issue)
Nope.
First match was a 4-man- rank 8 max squad.
Second was 3-man-rank 9 max squad. (not sure about it)
The first match Zapp posted was an R8 4-man vs our R9 3-man squads. Plus a random R15 pilot on our side.
The second was our R9 3-man vs Zapp’s R15 2-man squads (I say R15 cause he was flying R15 ships, so the MM MUST consider him an R15 pilot. Apparently, it did not). Plus an R12 on their side (despite him always using the Styx).
