Unable to have fun in the game

I find myself for quite a while now. I am unable to enjoy the game as either survivor or killer. Now you can shove me off as having skill issues but it nevertheless is a hurdle I cannot overcome despite my best efforts.

Firstly, playing survivor. I play only solo and not SWF. When playing solo you don't have the coordination that a SWF team has. So, I end up losing most of the games. I can loop the killer decent enough and can hold my own fairly well. Not the best but definitely not the worst. However, I end up losing most of the time because the overall team is weak. So, because of the loss I presume my MMR drops. When it does I get paired with even lower MMR players. Now, I probably get matched up with a lower MMR killer too. However, because the team is at an even lower MMR than before. I end up still losing. It feels like a never ending race towards the bottom.

Then for killer. I initially start with low MMR survivors and the games are easy. I easily win the games. Then my MMR goes up and then suddenly I am getting matched up against players with 1000s of hours that I am nowhere close to match up in skill with. So, I get destroyed. The only way for me to enjoy the game as killer is if I pick up a killer I rarely play. Then the game matches me up with low MMR survivors where I can win. However, it is a matter of time I am back at facing survivors with 1000s of hours.

So, either as survivor or killer. The current matchmaking feels horrible. Am I the only one that is struggling like this or anyone else feel the same when playing the game now?
