A somewhat unusual feature of XDefiant is the absence of skill-based matchmaking in its casual playlists (except one introductory playlist). That means that, unlike many of today's other competitive multiplayer games, the new free-to-play shooter doesn't try to put you into matches with similarly-skilled players unless you're playing ranked, so you should face the full spectrum of skill levels, from beginners to MLG pro types.
It follows, then, that if it always feels like you're the least-skilled player in your matches, it just might be that you're one of the least-skilled players overall—sorry to say!
