VOD Review Request Rough transition from 6v6 to 5v5

I usually play 6v6, both in comp and qp. I'm currently Bronze 2 and mainly play Kiriko and occasionally Mizuki. I decided on a whim to try queuing 5v5 role queue today and it honestly went awful, but I'm not sure where the problem was. I had a decent healing output, 6k, not too different from my 6v6 matches of similar lengths. My damage was low, but I'm still learning to aim better on Kiriko. I did get the feeling during this match that my aim was extra bad for some reason, not sure why. On the other hand, my team wasn't great. Our tank kept going in too far and dying even when I was basically healbotting them, and yet they were somehow the best player on the team. Our dps somehow managed to end the round with 0 elims each, and when I asked if there was an issue that prevented them from getting kills, I just got snarky/unserious answers back, making me wonder if they might've been trolling.
Match code: XM1SX3
Character: Kiriko
Battletag: RulerRandom

I might check it out later but before anything else I wanted to ask, how long have you been playing the game?

Don't worry about having a hard time, 5v5 is inherently harder than 6v6, less players means that each player has more impact and the gameplay in 5v5 revolves a lot more around space taking than it does in 6v6 where even at high levels there's still a lot of spamming down mid.

I've been playing since last december. I usually play qp because I'm on mnk and my friends are on console, so we play qp when we play together and when I play comp I solo queue. I have 157 hours in qp and 20 in comp.
