[2019] Is there actual solo gameplay now?

Oh okay, I didn't know that. But I think I have identified the biggest problem of the game's state. There is no skill based matchmaking. I found out I am going against prestiged players all the time while I am on my first play. So naturally I never win anything and it gets frustrating.

I guess that is why players are leaving the game right now. Every match is just pros playing against each other and newer players don't get a foot in the game.

I thought skilled based match making was disabled a while ago.

Then I don't know what is wrong. Because I bought the game on Day 1 in February 2018 and in the first months it all went fine. We did some boss runs and whenever we encountered players the odds were even - I did 16 kills and died 11 times so it was fine.

Then I took a break and ever since I have no actual chance to win a shootout anymore. No matter with which of my friends I team up. My stats now are 21 to 67. Considering I already had 16 kills back then it means my recent stats is 5/53 (this means I am currently dying 91% of the time we encounter other players)

I always thought it happens because we 10-30 hours playtime get matched to 1000+ hours playtime dudes. I don't know how you calculate skill? Does K/D ratio count in? But if newer players get wooped 91% of the time by hardcore pros then it means they probably won't stay for long.
