Unplayable for casual. Smurfs, leavers and sabotage every game.

So I don't know what happened to matchmaking this season but it seems like it was completely removed. I'm silver, barely made it to gold last season and my lobbies are full of diamonds and pred smur...

You said this "The message from Respawn and EA is very clear : they are trying to get rid of casuals as they don't want us in their player base."

EA Accountant dials the phone to Joe at Respawn HQ "Hey Joe there seems to be a lot of money coming in this season what shall I do with it?'

Joe replies "Git rid of it we do not want that", "and while you are at it see if you can reach out to someone and try and git rid of all of those casual players, we do not need them either".

Your statement is way off base, why in the world would a company especially a gaming company alienate or actively try to get rid of their biggest costumer base, that is also their biggest source of income.

"My teammates are all ignoring any kind of communication, solo landing over 800m away. They will steal all dibs and won't share ammos when they know very well how low on ammos their teammates are. Most of the time they will simply leave the match when they get hit by a bullet. It seems like all Randoms want to do is hot drop die and start over without even trying to get a single kill. They don't care about playing the game, they just want to waste other player's time."

Ah the laments of a solo Q'er, try finding some steady teammates to play with. This helps a lot.

I for one am enjoying this season, I do agree that matchmaking does need to be tweaked a bit because I really do not belong in any type of lobby with Diamond or above players as I am your basic solid gold player. I do play a lot of Solo Q games and they have been mostly (90%) good games with decent Randoms, yes there are outliers and that is what it is, I cannot control how they play but I can control how I play with them. I also have a set of friends and we have dates and times to play together, which is a lot of fun. We don not always play well and lose more than we win (like everyone else) but we have fun.

Please do not take offence to my comments as I am not trying to offend but rather trying to be a bit humorous. The game can be a bit tough at times and for me when it seems that way a take a week or three break and come back refreshed and rejuvenated.

I feel I can safely say as a player from season 0, Respawns actions and lack of comms and lack of fixing major issues the casual player base has been complaining about for the last almost 4 years - however quick fixing most of the streamers and pros complaints and building seasons, legends, abilities, MM and everything else around pro and steamer ideas, complaints and interests would personally make me feel exactly that - Like Respawn doesn't want casual players or could give two sh*ts what they think, whether they leave etc....I mean I'm a casual player and I don't have thousands of followers to which I have influence over. That very influence Respawn exploits.
I can absolutely understand where Destinee's comment came from. I am genuinely happy for you and think that's awesome that you are enjoying and loving season 15. I am not, in more ways than 6. I can say without doubt, I am not the only one.

And premade squads doesn't necessarily make much of anything better, other than avoiding players that abandon quickly or don't work as a team. That hardly even scratches the surface of all the other existing issues.

Anyway enjoy yourself....just remember your experience isn't everyone's. Yours is light years from mine I can say that!
