Been a pretty good couple of weeks. Completed the Individual Tasks for my Nomad, bring my total to 24 and hit 80k battles. The bad news? For whatever reason the MM God's have decided not to let me out of Division 10. On average I'm getting stuck on the losing side for 90% of my matches. Win a match, lose 5 -11 in a row. I figured the issue would sort itself out last week, but alas that doesn' t seem to be the case.
Been there, still dealing with it, stuck in Div 4 for about 5-6 months now. So I feel your pain and it is a bummer.

Yeah, I usually end up in Div 3-4. Started out fine but I hit div 7 and things went south. I mean, I ended up back in Div 10 with zero points. That would be great, if I was trying to lose or ditching matches, but I'm not. The only thing I can figure is the MM is working overtime to balance out my win/loss rate.

I would offer you two forms of advice.
The fact that you have been battling for this long means you have a bit of experience that most players at that level do not have. If you can start racking up the kills, even if you lose, you will not lose much, if any. I started my climb by doing the first, but the choice is up to you.
EDIT -- Just fought two matches and came out no better, no worse. The only reason was I had the hightest score on my team, that lost, both times. So yes, I do feel your pain, and know exactly what you are going through.

Oddly enough, I've won 7 tournament matches in a row the past two days, so things are looking up a bit. At the very least, I'm not constantly getting stuck with lobotomized AI teammates.
I'm working on finishing Individual Bot Tasks, so my loadout isn't always the best I've got.
Not done with my day just yet, but my Outlaw/railguns has racked up 2886 kills in 16 days. Another month should get er done.
I've also got my Blitzfrost/cryo launcher up to 5657 kills. Only 1543 to go. 🤣

I just wrote a response in the thread: "MATCHMAKING IS STUPID".
It bears reading as it has validity to your (our) problem.
As for the Tournament matches, Great Job! Keep slamming your way through those matches. BTW, Blitzfrost + Cryo Launchers? Kinda on-the-nose, don'tcha think? 🤔😂
For tournaments, most of my loadout is Dreadshot; 16, 12 & 10. Hit fast, Hit hard, & keep on hitting.

For tournament matches I swap out the railguns for continuum. The fun part is when I switch back later and forget I don't have a never-ending supply of rounds. 🤣
The Blitzfrost/cryo set up works surprisingly well when both are maxed out. I can charge right at a bot, fire all my rounds on the way in, and freeze them on my way past. The current 50% ability boost catches alot of them off guard.

That is a great tactic for the Blitzfrost/cryo launcher. I like using it for my slow tank mechs. That way I can slow down any other mech and then close in and destroy them with my primary arm, usually a Dreadshot/Viper/Minigun, something with a lot of OOOMPhh.
But that Continuum/railgun swap, that's gotta be a bit of a "OH DARN!!! 😖" moment when you realize that 3rd round is gone and you gotta wait 20+ seconds for the recharge.
