I think what he was saying is: why were the two proto squads stacked? If the match maker had placed one proto squad on one team and the other on the other team. The match would have very likely been balanced. The question I have for the OP is where did you get the information about the makeup of the other team's squads?

The question I have for the OP is where did you get the information about the makeup of the other team's squads? The way they were moving about on the map said they were sticking together as squads. Ya know, heavy with a 2 logis and 3 support assaults stomping around, and the other squad was doing this roaming cluster
So, it was a guess then. There are a lot of factors here that you are considering. For instance a smart blueberry will find a group of players, in game, who are obviously running together, and stick close to them. Being in their squad or on comms with them is not necessarily a fore drawn conclusion. Also some people just work well together. There is a guy in my corp that I like playing with a lot. It always seems like he and I are always in the same place at the same time, even though we don't ever really go about coordiating this verbally. A lot of the times I think we just think along the same lines.
Anyway there are many possible factors here that you are not considering.

T8R Raid wrote:When i solo run stuff, I dont run proto gear. Too risky. I assume that's a common thought. The response times to objectives i snuck my scout self around to hack got responded to. Very quickly, there was communication, there was tactics. These things are easy to spot if you know what to look for. Watch as they hack something, if one hacks and the other covers rather than assist, theres comms happening. If you tag a heavy and one of his assaulters breaks off and jumps you while he continues to stomp on, theres comms. If you shotty one and the other 5 turn on you and fire one bullet to kill you instantly, theres comms. If a squad is running in diamond formation effectively, theres definately comms. There wasnt any diamond formations, but there was comms between the squads with proto gear.
I am by no means saying that the other team was balanced properly to yours. What I am saying is that the information you have given is far to spacific for your method of obtaining said information. In other words you cannot possibly know what you have said to be 100% fact. Thus it is useless to the purpose of trying to understand where the match making failed. It is as simple as that, a basic rule of the scientific method. Do not draw conclusion based on incomplete data.

"What Op is talking about happens all the time and is one of the worst aspects of the game IMO."
I'm not saying that it doesn't. Or that I haven't witnessed it happening even. But as a thread pointing out a technical flaw in the game, the OP is incredibly lacking in the detail nessesary to be of any use to anyone on the DEV team who may need information because they are trying to trouble shoot the match maker.
If the OP is not intent on supplying enough information to be of use, then what is the purpose in even posting this? To be able to read himself complaining about it? No offence intended.
