They are more costly, but the reasons are different in my opinion.

Casuals and randoms have always been pot luck: you either get a like minded player, or you don't - and they may even be thinking the same about you. That's the beauty and the crux of individual differences in people.

But now there is a bigger, deeper problem to factor in. And this problem is the influx of cheaters across all consoles and PC. Either you get a random teammate who doesn't cheat/is a casual/not very skilled, going up against a team of anti-recoil modders using strike packs in every game. Or you get a strike pack user on your team with a false sense of power and self belief due to his own lack of recoil, that he himself rushes into a team of strike pack users or skilled players.

It's a vicious circle, an endless loop, but one thing's for certain: The longer these cheats remain in the game, the less people will play, and the less people will enjoy.

@littlxr For sure... except i can't imagine my 0 kill 120 damage teammates are looking at me with 1200 damage 8 kills and thinking the same thing I think of them.

I'd say 5 games max ever I've been teamed with someone who's ran away with 9 or 13 kills whilst i sit on 3 or something.

When i was teaming with people we'd win 3 lose 1 win 2 lose 1. That sort of consistency.

In previous seasons I could carry dead players and take Ws, now it seems impossible. Whether theyre making dumb mistakes to leave us 1v3 or they lack the skill.

It makes you not wanna play.

@1ronKeys For when a new season comes out and there's changes I give a month before things start to improve among a squad to get further along in a match.

Then there's getting newbie players in my mind lvl 1-50 "ok they're still learning I gotta up my game."
Lvl 51-70 "ok I'm not expecting miracles but they should have some sense." Ect.

I'm no way a pro but I do ok however at this point in time I'd rather have teammates such as that so we have a better chance at winning, than teammates who leave immediately after getting knocked right before round one is announced. It's just the luck of the draw, so just hope your luck holds out before having to resort to a back up plan.

  @DK9027 The "luck" seems to be based on typical EA "surprise mechanics" of packing a good teammte is <0.07%
  
  If i stop playing the game for a month or don't spend any money perhaps my luck will dynamically adjust.
