Your ability to perform well and showcasing it with a single screenshot of you doing well does not indicate you being a good player, only that you did well in that one match. It has minimal bearing what actually happened in the match. The most I can tell from it is that you either have rarely been focused or played at extremely long ranges and disengaged / LOSed frequently while popping out of cover a lot for damage. However the general skill level of the match is weird if you take a look at your monk for example who only got about 300,000 dmg in the match and had to sit on the Crystal for extended periods of time.

While the choice of words from Gserpent isn't quite noble, he has a point - Machinist isn't great at 1v1s VS jobs actually capable of picking 1v1 fights efficiently, so it isn't surprising when a Machinist will suffer against reasonably skilled players in a 1v1. This is why looking at Machinist balance in the context of 1v1 is somewhat futile.
