I have played both ways in the crucible
Yes I have gone in with my clan members and wiped a team before but I’ve also gone against 4 randoms who have kicked our butts
Same with when my clan aren’t online I have gone in solo and got matched up against a clan and got mercy ruled but I’ve also got matched with some good randoms who as a team helped beat a full fireteam
It doesn’t matter if you solo queue or not
The main thing is to play as a team for instance when I get matched up with randoms when we spawn I wait a second and watch how my teammates are acting if they look like they don’t have a clue how to go about playing the match then I generally lead the pack and start off running at which point most randoms will follow. Or if I find that when we spawn in one of our players is naturally confident and takes of running I tend to follow their lead and stick by their side. Worse case is if you get a couple who just run off in different directions at that point just try to stay with one of them so hopefully you will end up with 2 & 2
If your getting wiped 5 games in a row then either you are having some bad luck and getting people who are better then you and or your randoms or your getting paired with randoms who really don’t understand teamwork in which case all I can say is keep trying

Problem is even garbage players do well in a pack. That’s not indicative of a well crafted crucible experience.
