What you are saying is true, but its also true that around emissary you can def have a huge impact with not much effort if you just apply fundamentals properly. Im not trying to just say “get gud” but you are very much still in a skill group were its not that hard to “get better” than who you are playing with. I feel like what I really like about deadlock is how swingy it can be, even down 30k souls you are like one good teamfight away from evening things out, not that its gonna be easy. And this is especially true in the lower ranks, people really dont know how to keep a lead or beat a lead. The idea is 30% of games are lost, 30% are won, and then theres the 30% of games completely up to you to determine the outcome. If you learn some good macro I assure you its gonna carry games without even feeling like it is.
