Nah, I've pulled off the same sort of thing in Jenners with their notoriously large CT. Won some 1v3s or 1v4s. It just takes some luck. Basically, you get lucky and pick off a severely damaged enemy mech, that happens to have the only remaining competent player on the enemy team. Then you dance around and kite the remaining enemies to death. But make no mistake: that's not me solo'ing a bunch of fresh enemies. My teammates did 90% of the work and they deserve most of the credit. Just sometimes I am in a position to finish what my teammates started.
Doesn't work if they coordinate, as Noesis said, and gang tackle you. It occasionally works if they wander around individually, are all injured from fighting your team, and don't aim well or get nervous.
I once got 800 damage in my Hunchback-4P, in a match where I got 0 kills and 0 assists, and we lost 0 to 8. Most of our guys did decent damage, too. All 8 enemies were 1 hit away from blowing up, but nobody on our team managed to land a killing blow. If we'd had a single Light mech that somehow survived to that point, it's very possible he could have 1v8 them and won.
More often, though, the remaining enemies are fresh or relatively healthy, and a Light mech will get chased into a corner and crushed.
That doesn't sound like 1 vs 9 at all, but thanks:)
