Like you, solo since day one. And yes, the experience has deteriorated. But if I'm honest it was never very good to begin with. This game was designed, for the worse, to be played by a communicating team. If you can't or won't be one of them, then you're one of us, and I'm not really sure what the dev could do to change that experience. Solo mode was no answer, imo. Bot Royale is a step in the right direction, but it's far from perfect, and for a lot of players would not be considered a viable solution. They'll never build a single player campaign mode, and I don't think that would be much of an answer either. The only answer I can come up with is the same one I've been riding them about for three years now, and I'll say it again here because it bears repeating:
They need to stop matching on skill (which, as you noted, they don't really do anyway) and start matching squads based on play style and match goals. Not sure if you could get a lot of solo-hot-drop-n-quits to self report that information honestly. But you might. And the quality of matches would improve a thousandfold. Imo.
