1. Play to Have fun <- most important!
This literally does nothing to solve a roflstomp. Being roflstomped is inherently not fun for most people who get stomped.
Telling people do have fun when when circumstances are actively preventing them from having fun is just... silly (not the word I want to use, but I'm trying to be diplomatic here).
You mind as well tell a person who is upset at being punched in the face, that in order to enjoy it more, they should just be happy about being punched in the face. It's rather unlikely that the advice will help, because being punched in the face is an unpleasant experience.
You can't tell people to enjoy an unenjoyable experience. That just doesn't work.

2. Stay in your matches to the end
This is actually opposite of advice you should be giving if people don't want to be roflstomped. If a match is heavily weighted in the favor of the enemy team, staying in the match won't make a difference. In fact, if you leave the match early (something that I do not promote. I hate ragequitters), it's more likely that you won't get roflstomped because you are not present to receive said stomping.
The rest is decent advice.
 
Thanks for agreeing with the rest AJK 
 
The reason i think it is important to have fun is that you relax, when getting beating frustration makes you do silly things and this can put off your game. If you remember to have fun, the challenge is as exiting when losing. You could call this a philosophical point and so not everyone can take losing.
The reason it is important to play the match out in full is this:
By losing you may allow a better player in, however at this point this does not happen and unless we get a White Knight Switch teams, as soon as more than one drops off a Team the game is over, regardless how stronk the remaining Pilots are.
As I play to have fun, I will only use my high level mech if the enemy teams is doing the same. If they have no High level Mechs I try to play with one that is closer to theirs.
You must have played Siege at least once and seen this imbalance occuring. It happens on other gametypes but it hits Siege hard.
If everyone stayed their would at least be a chance..
Also I respect a Pilot who stays in a Losing match more than someone who drops out before the end. That leads to the rest of my points in the OP
 
 
EDIT: Incidentally I get punched in the Face every week. We all enjoy it thoroughly. I Even pay membership to the Club for this. There are many people who do enjoy being punched in the face, after all the world caters to all tastes. Of Course this is a learning experience with the Goal being to not get punched in the face, however in training this does happen, and 
as such I find it considerably more enjoyable now than when I was a newbie.
strange parallel there
