It's arguably easier in light mechs like the Wolfhound to pull off crazy carries, since they have a good mix of agility, tankiness, and firepower. Yes, losing a few matches can easily throw off W/L, but for the past couple seasons I've done mostly solo, and was around 3.0 W/L. Admittedly, this is nothing to aspire to. Solo queue is a far cry from anything resembling good gameplay.
Yeah the "mostly solo" is my issue. You can play mostly solo and your group wins still have an outsized impact on your final WLR. Without seeing an actual breakdown it's just really hard to know.

Yep, kills me as well. Having them split would be so much better just from information sake and interest.
I rarely do GroupQ due to my timezone - And by rarely I mean max of 10 games a month outta me 250-300. I average a 2.5 WLR in SoloQ. Some outlier seasons I've hit 3.0 however I find that is more of a rare occurrence than a norm.
Those stats are closer to my experience lately.

It actually depends heavily on what events and the type that are in each given season. I know that may sound crazy but I firmly believe some events lower the quality of games because of the objectives etc. People going off to Yolo a UAV to pop and then die 3s later in the first 60s of the match in a light.
Where some events that don't have silly objectives means that players don't divulge into totally idiotic gameplay.
I definitely believe that matchscore can be heavily influenced by events. For example on that day 1 event where it asked people to play lights my scores were pretty low. When they get to the Assault part of the event, I bet you're going to see matchscores go up.
You could be right that some events make the outcome a little more 50/50. Would be interesting to track.

Being a giant nerd, I keep a spreadsheet of all my matches. I'm not a Div A comp guy, but my WLR so far this month in solo queue only is 3.19, and my KDR is 5.96 (151 games total).
If you stretch it back to include last month, though, it's 2.72 WLR and 5.16 KDR (324 games) for solo queue only. I bet a top-tier player could do better :-).
The World needs more nerds and their spreadsheets!
