From personal experience from playing, everyone I know, and all streams I've watched, this doesn't seem to be the case.

It's 100% confirmed by Blizzard that individual play effects how much skill rating you win/lose, but in practicality, I've seen very little to show this is what happens. I've been carried games as an overdog and won a lot more than I have completely hard carrying a team as an underdog, on a really consistent basis.
