Okay, so I've been losing a ton of games. To win 3 games out of 20 got me curious. I started looking at my teammates and opposition stats. I wrote both down and this is the deal.
Because I'm a top ranked player, #3 in both my league and the legend league I get matched like this...
My team have bronze and golds, if I'm lucky I get a diamond. The opposition get two champions, a diamond, a master and two bronze or one silver one bronze.
I guess the two champions on the other team make up for my mech as far as points go.
But if your team is weak you have to struggle to win. You can't win this game without teamwork. Usually after most are killed off it's me and two champions left.
My advice is this, upgrade weapons but be careful when moving up in the champion league.

That is very unusual; I have never been matched with or against players from such a low league. Are you sure you're in NQ and not LQ?

My advice is this, upgrade weapons but be careful when moving up in the champion league. I've had the same experience, in streaks, before it goes back to more normal again. Not golds and bronze on my team (unless they're in a squad), but a general trend of my team being far worse than the red team. I believe that the matchmaker assumes that since you are so highly ranked, you should be able to overcome the deficit that you low ranked team mates present. It's a rubbish assumption as the only difference between legends and regular champions is how much they play. It was particularly bad last month when I had played so much I was in legends; my win percentage was down to 30 at one point.

I think one solution is to play less, so you stay out of Legends... That should allow you much higher win%.
Another solution is to squad up. What squad size, and what level for other players in your squad is good, I don't know. But I think two player squads usually get matched with non-squad randoms mostly, so find another top player to squad with, and hope that is enough if you two play well enough.
Or just git gud.

No clans or squads in Amazon server unfortunately. |

I happen to be on the Amazon server. No clans or squads as Locutis said.
