Question on Control.

Maybe someone who has better knowledge can give me some incite. I know Control uses SBMM & this is a recent addition. Ok I'm a relatively new player to D2 & is a big change from D1 I was a day one purchase for the 1st game. I know about Buildcrafting so let's get that outta the way. Which I'm trying to get different armor sets for different builds but since I'm a solo player its not easy to get good rolls & i can't run thru raids without a team to farm. Anyways playing control by myself at 1st i was terrible i would die really easily by getting 1 shot a lot not just from shotguns or grenade launchers but from EVERY weapon it seemed. As i leveled up my armor & looked at PVP builds that doesn't happen when playing by myself anymore except when I'm playing in a fireteam with my friend. He has been playing for a lot longer & has a higher k/d than me. I'm at 1.2 i think & he's around 2. I believe. Now before you start mentioning that it's bc it's SBMM let me say that last night i played until like 4am & almost every game i had the lowest k/d ratio of the team i was on every time & when playing with him sometimes i don't have the lowest k/d ratio either sometimes I'm middle tier. However ANY time i play with him all of the sudden I'm getting killed really easily & my weapons barely do any damage to the enemy player. Doesn't matter what weapon i use hand cannon i die in 1 or 2 shots while I'm unloading my weapon into the enemy & then i have to reload only to die instead. I actually had this happen repeatedly i would see enemy start shooting them while they are focused elsewhere i unload my hand cannon or pulse rifle almost get them close to death i have to reload they turn shoot me once twice I'm dead. Melees will barely do any damage as well as nades. I might as well be using harsh language. Plus i would constantly get respawned near a whole team of enemies while my team what at the other control point that had been captured. We actually tested this out. For 5 - 6 games i played with him i barely killed more than 4-5 people & that was only do to my teammate taking them down while i shot them before basically an assist kill. Then i had him jump off the fireteam & i played with several of the people who had just been killing the -blam!- outta me & that match i had upwards of 20 kills. The scenario i mentioned about shooting someone repeatedly & them not dying only to turn & shoot me twice & kill me ended after my friend jumped off my fireteam. We tried this multiple times with the exact same outcome. He's on my fireteam i start getting destroyed then he jumps off & my character no longer dies so easily & I'm winning gunfights again. I forgot to mention that when he's on my fireteam my melees become pathetic. Ib have to melee someone 4-5 times before they die & they just have to melee me once. As soon as he is off the team if I'm using a non charged melee 2 times & I'll kill the enemy. I was no longer dying the second i poked my head out. My weapons were doing significantly more damage & i was winning gun fights again. I was coming in either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place even if we lost the match. We are going to be testing this some more but this happens almost every time I'm on a fireteam with him. Is there any explanation someone might have for this?
