Unfortunately you can't reason with people suffering from delusions.
Anyone that thinks squad battles is causal friendly in its current state is an idiot, even more so when they also claim it's harder for hardcore players, not casuals.
Personally this week I earned a little over 27k points in squad battles, this landed me just shy of Elite 1. I believe Elite 3 alone was over 20k points this week and with 12 games, 14 counting the two repeatable, no casual is going to get into Elite 3. You need to win every game one loss means you're going to end up locked into gold 1.
I can't get into elite now, I'm usually in div 2 rivals but don't strive for higher, was elite last year, I liked squad battled because it was chill and the packs where something to look forward too, now I'm gold 1 sometimes elite 3 if I'm lucky, during tokens I was away down at gold 3. It is what it is I suppose if they've actually gave wins for people who leave at draws now that would make online play worth it again so that's a plus I suppose.
