But the stats don't seem to reflect the experience showing a ratio of .9 which i can't explain as in the last couple of months i can only recall two wins on the map.
Is anyone else experiencing this but maybe on other maps?

Not sure but pretty damn fast. Its a great map to trade well in fast mechs with jjs and its so cool that you can get a shitload of dmg I dont even care that much if we win. I can get many kills and dmg on that map so easily as it is very favored for nascar. The team that wont get top always starts to nascar immediately. ANd you can just land alpha after alpha after alpha into their backs.
Love that map. Its a good killing field.

Examples:
- The traffic lights are always red
- It always starts to rain just when you leave the building
- In the supermarket you are always in the longest waiting queue
- MM hates you and always puts you in the loosing teams
TLDR:
Our memory can't be trusted.

So if you play enough games it should average out probably, the thing that's throwing you off or making you sad is probably the match maker (Remember Tier 1 doesn't mean much)
At the end of the day no matter how good or bad you are, it's still a team game (Unless they stacking it against you by lining up the good players on the opposition).
This pretty much sums it up "May the less crappier team win!"
BTW match maker doesn't really work with the reduce player pool (It's like a shark frenzy when you got a couple decent players on one side)

If the MM 'Conspiracy' threads are true which i do believe they are that the game is frequently dropping bad players on one team and good players on the other then it would certainly go some way to explaining it. Although it may not necessarily be good vs bad as such but probably putting a bias to one side.
I think there is no MM anymore as like you say the player base is so small and its taking ages to find matches.

First is old Forest because I seem to get G9 spawn a lot and honestly I am not very familiar with the map and don't really know how to play it or have a favorite spot figured out yet.
The other is Frozen City Domination, where I seem to get team one side more often than not and rarely win from that side. Not quite sure how to play it well but I generally try and race over to the assaults instead of getting pushed by enemy charging seven line.
Both these situations are probably more my fault than not.

I do run LRM boats occasionally although i don't seem to get HPG that often when in one. Its more that taboo word Nascar and people poking one by one on half the enemy team. And before you know it is 3-8.
I did have one match where we camped outside the walls and covered both approaches and it was a genuinely tense and fraught game that went to the wire and a bare victory. Probably the most GG moment I've seen in recent times ironically. And the only other match i can remember was we held the top and strictly tried to stop our team from peeking and let the reds do it. Matches are so skewed that i make a mental note of any time WE (not I) win in this map.
I get the confirmation bias with things like why do i always get stuck behind the idiot doing 30mph below the speed limit (or even half of it) or the lights are always red. But it's so blatant with HPG loss rate that i can't make sense of the stats.
