Sometimes. Sometimes its merely a case of being lucky in that they're on teams where others can carry them. You DO realize its a team game yes ? And except for sync droppers and group play, you cannot expect the matchmaker will actually put 12 good players together everytime. In every match, there's going to be a winning team and a losing team. Note again the word TEAM there. Perhaps you should learn the meaning of it.
This has been argued many times before in other games (like World of Tanks) by Dunning-Kruger cases trying to find excuses for their bad performance, but every time they made the arguments you just did, they just looked like the fools they were.
Despite only being 1 of 12, a single player still has an influence on battle outcome; that is why there are bad players with W/L below 1.0, because they are having a negative influence on the probabilities of their team winning.
A good player will be able to influence enough battles over time to produce a positive W/L; they won't win all battles, but they will win more than they lose, because they are a net benefit to their team.
To make an analogy, look at team vs team sports, like basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. While they are all 'team games', there are always 'star' players that are well known to be above the rest, and in professional sports these are the highly paid and sought-after players.
Why? Because it is well known they putting one of these players in an already strong team, the team becomes even stronger.
By the same token, if a highly skilled professional player is put in a team of amateurs and plays against another team of amateurs that doesn't have its own highly skilled professional player of its own, the team with the pro player is substantially more likely to win.
And that is because a single person of above average skill level can influence the game. Go ahead and argue against that if you want, but then you are rejecting reality, because what I said is the indisputable truth.

Well you can stick to that theory if it helps you sleep at night. You'll still be wrong in the morning though.
Ha, 'theory'. That's cute.

Which is your opinion, and again, you are wrong.
Then prove it.
But you'll have a tough time, because your previous arguments are based on rejecting logic, mathematics and statistical methods, in favor of 'gut feelings' and anecdotes.

Yes, I stated that because its a fact. 28.5 tons is in fact, in excess of 28 tons of available podspace. I also said that there are plenty of good builds possible within that available weight. You however couldn't apparently process that statement beyond meaning that the only good builds involve using all 28+ tons exclusively for weapons. That in another post in the same thread also said I don't need to run max armor, still wasn't enough illumination for your feeble comprehension skills to formulate the meaning of my statements. So I'll spell it out for you since you cannot fathom the obvious answer yourself. I use those 28.5 tons to arrive at my own working balanced combinations of weapons, ammo, sensors, heat sinks, and armor.
The Hellbringer doesn't have 28 or 28.5 tons available for armor and weapons; it has 28.5 tons when all weapons and equipment are stripped off, leaving 8.0 tons of armor (the Prime has 26.5 tons of weapons/equipment with 10 tons of armor, due to A-Pods from the TT config being removed and their tonnage put into armor).
When all weapons and armor are stripped, it has 36.5 tons.
Stripping the arms and leaving each leg with 41 points of armor leaves 27 tons; if you are running any less than that amount of armor, you are making a terrible mistake.
But hay, if you think running a lightly armored Hellbringer is a good idea, why don't you show your statistics in Hellbringers to prove it?
And don't just cherry-pick the single variant you have 'good' stats in either, or screenshots of a handful of good battles out of the hundreds of fail battles.

Really? I think I actually said something that demonstrated I have a extremely great understanding of the game. It also clearly demonstrated you have an extremely feeble grasp of intuitive thinking, reading comprehension, and knowing when you're outmatched in terms of wits.
And here you demonstrate your fragile ego.
See, I don't need to do anything to prove you wrong; you own performance statistics mark you as a low performing player, and your claims like those on the Hellbringer prove you have a fundemental lack of knowledge of the game.
Further, you don't have any argument beyond Dunning-Kruger excuse making to respond with.
But please, keep on making hilarious boasts about your 'wit'. It is a quite amusing projection of insecurity, much like Donald Trump with the size of his hands.
