You need to look at your matchmaking. Every single game i get people going x2 negative K/D or get people that are unable to shoot and move at the same time…
Theres 0 point in trying to play these matches when im versing clearly good players with a team that would physically be better of as bots… what kind of matchmaking are you trying to promote?
My team: 23-4, 8-17, 2-10, 6-16
Othe team: 15-7, 14-13, 11-9, 10-10
Imagine going 23-4 (5.75KD) with the most assists and still losing… dont even get me started on objectives.

This is what happens to my friend all the time. He is Onyx and apparently there just aren’t many Onyx players.
The game always puts him/us on servers with high ping and for some reason the matchmaking thinks that a team with 1 Onyx and 3 Golds is somehow an even match for a team of 4 Diamonds.
It’s the horrible implementation of SBMM that is in this game. It has ruined the game for many people and 343 refuses to accept that there is anything wrong.

Just out of curiosity, do ever run into players with default black armor, no armor emblem, and the “Number 1” as the nameplate?
I swear I’ll see 2-3 on any given day and they always go 2-15 or something. If they get a kill at all.
They either go 2-14 = brand new players trying it out because it is FTP
OR
They go 30-1 = cheater that got their previous account banned and just made a new account because it’s FTP
(Both are problems created because 343 made Infinite FTP.)
If they’re new, that fine of course. But they ALWAYS have the same armor, logo, etc. No prosthetics, and some don’t even seem to realize an enemy is shooting at them.
I’ve also suspected that it could be some cheater account testing cheats, but can’t really prove it.
343 inflates their player numbers by adding bot-like “human” players.
I’m on both sides here, i do good when connecting to the correct server, but when i connect to AUS servers i get blasted…27ms ping on correct servers and average 250-300ms ping on others. And yes, i hear that i suck from ppl in other countries because of this. So i think a lot of time ppl are thrown into the wrong server.

How close were the outcomes of the games though? 50-39 isn’t a blowout by any means.
Looking at the game, most of your opponents went pretty much 1 :1, which isn’t dominat.
Your weak link was obv you’re 6-16 teammate. 16 deaths is hard to recover from, but with 23-4 it does balance you out from blowing out the other team.
But it also speaks to your style of gameplay. If you’re watching your team’s play, and you see an individual player struggling, you should adjust your play to support them. The thing that cost you to lose was your team’s inability to defend themselves. Your team was losing most of their encounters, So while you were on your killing spree, you should have been supporting your weaker players and helping them in their engagements.
It probably wouldn’t have resulted in win, because the other team is collectively more skilled, and you can’t stop people from making poor tactical decisions, so you are right there, but a change in your play to a more defensive role towards your team might have resulted in a closer score.
But anyway As the population gets smaller, expect more of this type of balancing.
I don’t know what the issue is specifically but there definitely is an influx of people that have the ‘Number 1’ (default) nameplate usually with some kind of cadet armour coating (green or weirdly purple) and they’re terrible and can’t move nor shoot at the same time (like others have said) and in some case walk into walls.
I’m not sure what’s happening but there’s at least 2 to 3 of those players per game now for me and it’s a stark contrast to what it was like a couple of months ago when those types of players just didn’t appear for me at all.
The MMR system in this game is completely chalked and needs rewriting from the start.
343 doesn’t care about the people who have put the time in to be good at their game. They only care about the average idiot at the expense of the true fans. If you’re even somewhat decent at this game 343s ridiculous hidden mmr system will make sure you never have any decent teammates and that every game feels like a bloody sweat fest just to have a chance of winning.
Because you may just not be as good as you think you are 
I’ve notice this issue too. It’s like the better you get the less likely you are to win or something.
