Is competitive matchmaking unfair?

For context, I am Iron III (I know it’s a really bad elo, but I suck at shooter games) and I’ve been having a really bad experience playing the competitive mode.

Every single one of my last matches seemed like they had the winner decided before the match even begun. I’ve lost a few games winning only 2 or 3 rounds.

I understand that I suck at the game, but it’s not just me, my teammates manage to be as bad or even worse than me. All the players on my team always end up 2/7, 3/9, 7/12, etc. While the enemy team has at least three players with more than 15 kills and less than 8 deaths.

Maybe I am coping, but it seems like the game deliberately places a team composed of bad players to go against exponentially better players.

It’s getting very frustrating playing like this.
