The only proof you can provide is your stats are nicer than mine, cool!
Stats like W/L are a direct representation of both your individual skill in battle and mechlab as well as your grasp of tactics, positioning and teamwork. The only proof that certain tactics work you can have is winning using said tactics. Anything else is theorycrafting.
I'm not claiming that my understanding of tactics is perfect in general sense, but it surely is pretty much perfect compared to yours, which is clearly displayed by relative stats. You are of course free to consider my advice "terrible" and stick to your own, thus maintaining status quo and winning twice less games than I do.

So this wasn't you talking about using your team mates as literal shields?
So where did I exactly suggest that *I* was using them as shields? ... Because it would seem to me that when you have 11 brawlers and 1 sniper, the optimal positioning would be to have a sniper in the back of formation and brawlers in the front? ... That is what teamplay is about, use your mech the most effective way and make sure your teammates can do the same.
If I had a team with 11 snipers and me in a lonely brawler I would surely position myself up front, because similary it is the only thing that makes sense.
Of course if you prefer to do it the other way it would surely explain your irrelevant W/L ...
