@Emery_XPThat was a good read, and I have a lot of sympathy for you. Especially your observation that, and I'm paraphrasing here, while all shooters are hard on the ego, battle royale games are particularly brutal. They are. This one certainly is. I think you would have found it less so at the beginning when we were all closer together on the learning curve, and when skill-based matchmaking still seemed to be a regular game feature. They claim they're going to tighten it up a lot in a soon-to-drop update, but I'm not very hopeful given that it has got so bad they could "improve" it 150% and still not get very good results. And we haven't even started talking about how badly compromised the game is by cheaters and smurfs.
If it's a shooter experience you're after, but not battle royale, and if studio/publisher politics is a thing for you, then what about Halo? Don't tell me. You're Playstation, right? Oh well....
Lastly there's this:
"Considering too that the only way to do well in a BR is to win..."
I feel like we could have a pages-long discussion on this point alone, but I'm gonna leave it for now and see if anyone else takes it up.
