You already know, and everyone here has confirmed, this is the life of the solo queue player. I'm sure it's probably the same in ranked as in pubs, though someone else would be better to comment on that.
One thing no one has talked about is the mic. Comms are critical if you want your teammates to know what you're thinking and to understand what you're doing and why, why you're refusing to hot drop with them, why you're going where you're going and what your end-game is. And it doesn't have to be a two-way street. Talk to them even if they can't talk back. Most of them aren't muting reflexively and you'll know right away if they can hear you. They'll be a lot more amenable to suggestion from a mic than from just a ping or two. Coaching squadmates is tougher. On the rare occasions when I mic up anymore, I try to coach without coaching, if you know what I mean. People get resentful, even when your banner clearly explains that you have some idea of what you're doing and there's says much less. In the end I feel like I can really help my teammates a lot with good advice, and not very much with bullets. That makes many of them frustrated, but if they stick it out to the end they're often surprised by the results. Food for thought.
