I would like some idea of how it works.
Partly because we are getting difficult matches one right after the other. Which is mostly fine but some of our corp mates are coming up to speed and have half the SP than the leaders. So getting stomped because we have half the squad struggling is not much fun nor all that good for training. Once they settle into the flow it works out fine. But we are always getting new members thus this will be an ongoing issue.
Is the average of the SP of the current Squad?
The actual SP of the Squad Leader?
Or is it WP because that was mentioned some time in the past.
Or just random luck, good or bad. If you just call random how is it seeded? 
We were supposed to get Filters. And we did. However, they are lacking and extremely limited. In fact they are barely more functional than a menu and I would state firmly that the only Filter is for Factional Warfare Race selection.
Remember we asked for Actual Filters that were meaningful to Mercs.
Vehicles; Normal, Only, None
Proto; Normal, Only, None
Corp; Normal, Only, None
And very Important:
SP Max
SP Min
WP could be used instead of SP although some form of a simple New Berry to Pomegranate might work. 
I realize that the Vehicles, Proto and other filter options of that sort will have to be figured out such that Fits could be limited in battles.
Let me know if you need ideas on how that could work. I have a few, just in case. |

Filters are good.
But this matchmaking actually isn't bad.
For me at least.
Don't fix what isn't broken. I didn't ask that. Just saying. Cause I reread my post and I didn't ask for matchmaking to be changed, just for it not to be secret. So respond to what I posted not to what you have rumbling around in your own head. 
I did ask how it worked. Then we can decide how to respond to it.
If the squad leader SP is a significant factor we can have someone with several million fewer SP be the leader.
Most times I have no real problem with the matchmaking. However, without test servers or training servers it would be better to know how we can respond to it.
Then we can bring in someone with a few million SP and not get them into the stream of constant death by spawn while we teach them the game, better gun game or help with their grind so they can SP Cap and get enough SP to not drown. |

An additional observation as we are still lacking any dialogue from the ever mysterious and confused Devs.
I tested an Alt with 4M SP. Although only 1M SP is spent. But there is little balance for that character. Getting killed by a Proto convinced me that the matchmaking is not foolproof. Foolhardy maybe. |
