Because I spend my time playing to level mechs and don't chase meta try-hard builds to just pump damage and inflate my results. If I did, you wouldn't even be able to stay close to me in results.
Excuses excuses.
Here's your results for every leaderboard season so far.
Season 1:
Overall = 0.89 W/L, 0.83 K/D, 180 MS
Lights = 0.68 W/L, 0.65 K/D, 142 MS
Mediums = 0.92 W/L, 0.68 K/D, 159 MS
Heavies = 0.77 W/L, 0.98 K/D, 199 MS
Assaults = 1.06 W/L, 1.50 K/D, 282 MS (my KDK-3 sense is tingling)
Season 2:
Overall = 0.96 W/L, 0.82 K/D, 198 MS
Lights = 1.07 W/L, 0.73 K/D, 152 MS
Mediums = 0.96 W/L, 0.79 K/D, 181 MS
Heavies = 0.93 W/L, 0.83 K/D, 184 MS
Assaults = 0.93 W/L, 0.85 K/D, 220 MS

The only time in those months that you have pulled off a 'decent' score is Assaults in Season 1. Every other time, your performance has been that of a potato.
If you were actually a decent player, you would produce better stats than that, regardless of the 'non-meta' state of the mechs you are using.
And here's the thing: I don't chase meta try-hard builds either, and I still produce far better leaderboard results than you.
Here's my leaderboard stats, starting with Season 3 when I started playing again after a year long break:
Season 3:
Overall = 1.28 W/L, 1.24 K/D, 233 MS
Lights = 1.86 W/L, 1.25 K/D, 234 MS
Mediums = 1.04 W/L, 1.01 K/D, 210 MS
Heavies = 1.92 W/L, 1.59 K/D, 245 MS
Assaults = 1.26 W/L, 1.38 K/D, 257 MS
Season 4:
Overall = 1.30 W/L, 1.77 K/D, 265 MS
Lights = 1.02 W/L, 1.37 K/D, 231 MS
Mediums = 1.35 W/L, 2.22 K/D, 258 MS
Heavies = 1.53 W/L, 1.97 K/D, 288 MS
Assaults = 1.22 W/L, 1.64 K/D, 261 MS
Season 5:
Overall =
1.18 W/L, 1.73 K/D, 249 MS
Lights = N/A
Mediums = N/A
Heavies =
1.18 W/L, 1.73 K/D, 249 MS
Assaults = N/A
Big difference to your stats: I have produced at least average stats in all seasons and weight classes.
My worst stats are when I was using the Loyalty Wolverine 7D and Cicada 3F in Season 3. Those are definitely not 'meta' mechs and actually kinda garbage overall, but I still produced better stats than you have in all 4 seasons you have played medium mechs in.
Then in Season 4 I was using the Executioner almost exclusively, another mech that is definitely not 'meta', and I produced stats far above your own for all seasons except 1 (which appears to be when you used the KDK-3; no wonder you're defending it when it makes a potato seem good).
I used the loyalty Summoner and Ebon Jaguar in Season 4, but I stopped using them the moment I mastered them.
This month I'm using Thunderbolt 9SE and Timber Wolf C I bought in the Steam Heavy Pack, and I'm not using meta builds with either of them.
I consider my performance in those mechs to be fairly bad; I'm only averaging 389 damage in the Tbolt, and 377 in the Timby, but I am still producing a 249 average match score.
If that is all it takes to achieve positive W/L and K/D, along with average MS above the upper 25% mark, then I just don't know what players with below average stats are doing.
And there are many more players that are far better than me, and they aren't using meta builds either, so don't use the excuse that players better than you must be abusing 'meta' builds, because you are insulting their skill to make yourself not look as terrible.
To use an analogy, your argument is essentially that bad golf players should be excused for doing badly because they have bad clubs, and that good golfers only do good because they have good clubs, which is literally moronic, because the good players will still beat the bad players even when the good players are using bad clubs.

Tip for comptards : don't make assumptions based on leaderboard figures.
Oh, I'm not a comptard; I'm a potato like you.
I just don't pretend to be anything else, and admit that when my stats are way better than my norm (like in Season 4 with heavies), it is because of the mech I was using, not because I'm somehow playing better.
You on the other hand, seem to think your 'norm' is when you are playing great mechs, and that the rest of the time you are only doing badly because you aren't using great mechs.
And you use that as an excuse to shield your ego from criticism.

Except you didn't. And I didn't run to the mods to have the thread locked.
Oh but I did. You ceased trying to argue, and started with meaningless hyperbole instead of trying to refute my posts, a clear sigh that someone has lost an argument.
And given you were threatening to report me to the mods, you'll have to excuse me for thinking you did.

It also doesn't track kill assists or kmdd's.
Those are reflected in match score.
Assists are meaningless, but if you are scoring lots of KMDDs without kills, you will have a higher than normal match score for your K/D ratio. And you don't.
