I used to play with a group called KaoS Legion when the game was released and took a 4 year break. Back at it

Got a couple questions about the match maker, since it is really confusing. Also, sorry this will be a repeat post, but the search function doesn't seem to work on the web page, so I couldn't gather all the info on my own.
All comments are solo drops.
I understand the pilot tier system. However, I have seen many T5 pilots up against T1. I have read this is to cut down waiting times at the expense of balanced games.
I tracked my last 37 games since I felt there was a trend to build a sample size and found this: (for this it does not matter if I win or lose, it is the stats that matter)

So there is clearly a time to get better and more competitive games. a 12-3 game is a stomp and a 12-6 game is usually a good grind that tilted at some point where a team takes advantage and cleans up. I suppose this is due to the player population being low...? Thing is if the game can find 24 players, why are there so many blow outs? Every now and then things can go pear shaped and you lose, no problem, but the trend is
A couple pilots that work together make all the difference, from my experience. Best I come up with is all the best players are on in the evening. Thus the chance of having capable people on both sides is increased. It still leaves me confused though that the MM cannot seem to spit these players, even at low use times.
Feed back with proof would be great! Opinions I got piles of while dropping with some old friends, but even after 7 years, the reasoning behind it remains elusive to me.
At the end of the day, I find it very frustrating that in half my games, the outcome is looks set before I power up. I can get 4 kills, do over 1k damage and the score can be 12-4.
Are there 2 different match makers working? One at high traffic and it changes after the waiting times increase?
