Yes... Every time I drop. That said, I'm finding my urge to drop diminishing slightly.
It's attributed to redundancy and soulless play.
But it's still "fun".

When I have time to play, that is. But seeing that I am enjoying using AC/2s and LRMs, my opinion might not count as "normal."

and if i start to feel burn out setting in, i jump to a different game.
I find this keeps the game more fun for me, and lessens the pain of its glaring shortcomings.
the key is being not totally vested into this game. keep the game play light, have fun, and bail when your fun diminishes.

Game mechanics need to change, become more complex, and the game needs to become more immersive.

Have to agree with bandit there. After a year, you're likely more than rusty with meta play and mechanics changes. And of course, MM might have some part to play in this

Except SouthernRex's PM is just so cringe worthy--almost like he copied it from a meme or something. I laughed so hard, I had to share it with my unit mates. Screw it, I'll share his PM with all of ya, so you guys can have a laugh.

I was bombarded with LRMs when I just started playing, it was one of the worst lurmageddons since LRMs just got buffed.... T_T
I swore to do everything I can to spite enemy LRM boats in any way I can.

Things I learned:
The Night Gyr isn't working well for me. Which is a profound disappointment.
Better results with the Linebacker.
Seems to be doing better with my old mechs (Hellbringer, Cauldron Born, Stormcrow).
IS assaults are now pretty bad for me. It just seems to me I am not doing well with any tall humanoid walker, including Black Knight. May still explore to see how the Cyclops will do.
Seems to do best with energy weapons now. Ballistics are a flop for me.
Things still learning:
Wondering about shifting to LRMs as a support player. I managed one satisfying game with the Archer.
Wondering about shifting to ER PPCs. Maybe it will have better hit registration.
Game seems more focused on agility and speed for survival.
Losing streaks? Generally I find threads complaining about losing streaks to be rare on these forums. Try the World of Warships forums --- there is plenty there. Not only that, but I have seen good players suddenly facing bad losing streaks, like going from a good day one day to an excruciating day of losing streaks. It is believed what Wargaming has a MM algorithm that takes winning players to start culling their winning rate --- so all players must gravitate towards 50% win rate. Losing players on the other hand are going to get the winning players to carry them (usually the ones targeted for win rate culling), so they have to gravitate towards 50%.

The god damn rule-of-3 is so bloody annoying, i actually can't buy mechs because of that.
I HATE grinding. It just pisses me the hell off.
The upcoming skill-tree system won't probably fix it either...
If anything, it's probably going to be even worse, in terms of grinding.

Yes this happens and you're not the only one who's experiencing this.
The most frustrating thing is to always see the good players on the enemy team while you end up with...yeah, nvm.
Are you playing solo or group queue? Solo queue feels more balanced to me usually.
Just take a break and try the next day, or get some friends to play with.
Losing streaks are never funny, but sharing the pain and frustration helps
