If you keep playing with those players who easily overwhelm you, you're just gonna make your team lose and wreck yourself. In more details, taking out credit reimbursement gained from research, you can see that Rank Reward, Team Victory Bonus, and Score Reward make up most of your credit earnings. Since you keep playing with those players, you're missing out Team Victory Bonus and Score Rewards most of the time. What's more?

1. TVB gives you as much credits as Rank Reward does, and

2. Score Reward can give you more credits than Rank Reward if you're doing better than other players.

So, counting only these three bonuses, if your team loses and you find yourself at the bottom, you've already lost 66% of what you could've earned.
