Losing streaks happen, even to the best of players. I typically play during off-peak hours, and I swear, if you guys think you are stuck with potatoes, I've got the whole damnable state of Idaho on my team. (Nothing against people from Idaho, I'm just referencing your most well known product.)

Just as an example, today I had the "pleasure" of being teamed with a guy that thought his Victor 9S build was good. Now, we all know the Victor's glory days are well behind it, but it's still a serviceable mech if you kit it out well. This guy... Oh, gawds, this guy had 3xALRM10 and a maxed out engine. No jump jets. No other guns. No TAG. Nothing... Near as I can guess, he was running an XL, endo steel, heavily armored, and was boating ammo (well over 2400 missiles)... And he thought this was good.

Now, look, I'm WAY too aggressive to carry a timid team. Far too often, while my team camps, my attempts to gain an attack angle on the enemy team gets me spotted and gangbeat (I have a "talent" for finding enemy team in the most unexpected places, I swear). On a team just as aggressive as I am (rare in the solo queue), faces get wrecked. But without that backup, I get disassembled with prejudice.

Just looking at your stats with no context, it looks like you aren't holding much influence on whether the match is a win, as far as damage and kills.

I like to play brawlers, up close and personal and I've been working on a lot of unskilled mechs recently. But I often can't get into brawling range by camping pokemech teams or Rambos just running off all over the place.
