The Mauler xD
Rank 8 squad can face up to rank 12 ships, in case of rank 9, you can reach Rank 13 if your DSR and WR is high enough.
Well, how much can a duo squad be penalized to face T5 in r8 ships ?
The MM gets worse and worse with every time they try to fix it.
Including solo que r8/prem with 2100 ppl online = 2v2 + bots.

If you were a full r8 ship squad, then something went wrong, because that is not supposed to happen.
Maybe the guy with the Mauler had epic bad WR or DSR.
Funny thing is, you won the game, so the MM is not bad really…
Mauler had 1200+ dsr. When I meet tier rushers with T4, but 800 something dsr I do not make a fuss.
We won the game easily, but still the MM was terrible. How can you put T5, even being premium vs T3 premium ?
Is the mauler considered r11 or 12 or something ?
And then this happens when solo que :
I hate the new captain rules. I ma captain in 8 out of 8 today. It is exhausting and I am about to go t1 and suicide to Aces to drop to 800 dsr. it is frustrating.
Well to be fair, i was using The Styx…

There you have it. That is the reason most people in squads fly premium or rank 8, because with rank 9 you can see rank 13 ships.
And yes, the new captain rules mean that you always need a “capt ship”
But I must say that captain games now are intense and interesting.
Maybe in the future they can twitch the system, and make it random again, but increasing the chance of being picked if your DSR is high.
Explain the 2nd MM fail then. No engi in our team (loadout) except the guy with the most dsr.

Sorry, but I can’t see any fail in the second game. You just had bad luck with your mates. The MM don’t count the ships classes, just their ranks.
That is the reason all my solo fits are self sustainable 
Do not get me wrong. I have regen hull and repair kit as well as shield drain, but that is not the point.
Mauler is R12 for a MatchMaking, if you had a r9 in your squad, there is a slight chance to meet r12

He can be R11 too if it’s only fitted with MK1 Modules.

Don’t give me ideas.

Healing? There are no heals if you have killed them all!!!..if problems arise you have your own healing…and the damage bonus so what is with this fear of damage you are showing!!
I do not see why not getting having an engineer on your team is a problem at all.
I do see a player who is too used to having engineers heal captains and is upset they are on a team without one and so you blame the matchmaking. /notcool
If you remember your low rank low tier days, it happens more often than does healing engineers being present…sometimes due to the fact players do not know what loadouts to run all the time.
Many players new to the game also have no idea they should be equipping ships for all game modes, sometimes they may not be thinking about that mode at all.
so maybe, this time, they didn’t load it this trip to pvp and many more are certainly busy enjoying the game leveling and ranking up the 8 other classes.
Some players have no interest in an engineering frigate, and will never use it.
Matchmaking gave you a the Captain Hat, time to put it to work.
I’ve fought you before and I remember you being pretty damn good.
The way I see it you have two choices, try attacking the enemy team with a team like this, if they die before you and you live you get to watch them die, which you will enjoy
or you can try to direct them to be defensive, which considering these are players not equipping engineer frigates…may be predictably ugly
try playing a 12v12 where you get bum rushed by a group of recons every 30 seconds and see how long you last with no engineer on your team

Easy, we kill the recons.

There is no “we” in solo queue captains. If your team was going to help you they’d have dropped an engineer in the first place. So you’re on your own.
