You keep saying engineers are unhappy, so you are happy, while ignoring all the maxers that are also unhappy. I suspect most warring clans making use of the forums are engineered in some way, especially when .5s are included, so it is no surprise to have more feedback from clans with some level of engineering than clans that are all out maxers. Not many of those remain. Most either quit war, like your clan, or they adapted and now have some level of engineering. I've seen a few posts from people noting they see an improvement in the matches from both engineers and maxers, but way more saying the matches are still terrible (from maxers too, which you ignore). These reports of good matches are so few and far between that they seem to be just random lucky good matches. It is not working for them either, so I don't understand your happiness.
Additionally, the failure to create even matches for engineers is important to us all. If the only reason SC has been so resistant to a more simple fix, like a minimum defensive weight per hall level, is the desire to create even matches for all types of play styles, then it is very important to point out if that is failing. Because, if it is, then that removes the incentive to have this complicated failing matchmaker and replace it with something more simple and easy to understand, even if that means engineering is totally ruined by it, because they are getting bad matches anyway so what's the difference.
