Why am I consistently getting 35%+ dmg on my team and other top stats and being placed with afk'ers

My rank has dropped an insane amount this season, I can't even win anymore. This just points to epic levels of toxicity and in my opinion, the myriad issues that plague the conquest game mode. It must be in its last death throes because this is ridiculous. In order to get a win now it's like my team has to win 4v5, which we actually did once - we had an afk'er from the start of the match but we still won. Now I'm seeing entire teams quit almost immediately, and not even trying.

ANET, I HIGHLY SUGGEST BREAKING THE GLASS AND FINALLY AT LEAST TRYING SOMETHING NEW:

 

OK. so to be fair, if your getting the 35% damage in games where you've got 4 afkers then.....

Ranked is all but a clown show, and probably always has been since seasons were introduced.   

Ding ding.

Ranked not fully allowing premades, but also not fully prohibiting you from making them was your first warning that this was not a competition of skill.

The reason for you losing the games is simple. You are overperforming.

For the sake of balancing winrates, overperforming is punished as hard as underperforming.

Nah it happens regardless if there are afk'ers or not.

I've never heard of overperforming being punished before if you lose. I've heard of overperforming and winning being punished because your rating goes up and so you are expected to carry more, but never with losing.

Getting queued with much worse players (which leads to losing in his case) is the punishment for having high personal rating.

If someone haves very high personal rating, to average the team score he gets queued with much lower personal rating teammates.

yeah that's understandable but my rating isn't even that high this season

This tends to happen when you are a necromancer able to mass aoe everything in a 5 mile radius without even targeting while your warrior for example is stuck 1v1 dueling even in the middle of teamfights.
