Thanks PGI, I wanted to just play a casual FUN team game, but we are now into the game of 1v1 or 2v2, not interested. Time to take a break before I just uninstall, hopefully MWO doesn't curl up and die, making more ques was the stupidest thing PGI has ever done- what MM, and that says a lot.

So that person drops again after having played a year old meta that may or may not work anymore...and is a total potato, not to mention, your skill level drops significantly over time.
So that compounds things.
Luckily though S7 is here so we have the option of side stepping QP for a bit and just rely on yourself in 1v1.

It’s become noticeably worse since Solaris dropped. I’m still having fun, but that’s because I like trying to carry and the sheer random WTF factor is kind of refreshing. Instead of everybody doing the same stuff, there are often 4-8 players on each team off doing their own crazy thing. Kind of a challenge adapting to a more fluid battle space because you really can’t assume people are going to play the maps in the “usual” manner.

But QP is what it is -- a group of randos facing another group of randos. Who knows how good each player is, how hard they're trying, whether they're in a metabuild, how many drinks they've had, etc. etc.
Don't let your expectations get too high.

Fortunately, he has prescribed some BT to use until my blood pressure is reduced. Treatment is ongoing; prognosis: good.

That said play for fun play to test builds and play to talk to other customers, Do not play to win.
Playing to win is ironically the losers route in MWO..

I find it interesting that you continuously try to deride players who try to do well AND have fun....

The issue is with your mentality, not the SQ. You do not seem to be staying casual if you are exasperated with the matches.

I run pretty much any build I can think of in QP now no matter how troll or useless it is. AC 20 Raven, 3 flamer spider 5d, 1 point of armor locusts, you get the idea. Why? because teams are so potato they aren't even seeds. using smurrfy I've found the best stealth mech that I own just so I can sit back and watch the first three minutes play out. first team to get that 0-3 score wins the vast majority of the time.
i mean i had a 1 vs 1 locust battle in domination mode on frozen city. Found an PB in the tunnel with er mls x4 and ams against my lct 1m 2x er ml build. PB ran,fired back a few times and ran like a girl. I chased it all over the map shooting it. I could have just went back to the pee stain but I noticed the kill counter at 0-5 in favor of the enemy. No coming back from that.

Even casual players want something a little more than RNGesus. It's like playing a "casual" game of chess with brain-damaged toddlers. No matter how relaxed you are about it, it's still not fun. That's pretty much what solo-QP in T3 & under has become. I've run out of WTF, it's gotten that bad. I've still got one of my new Fafnirs (5B) that I don't really even want to finish grinding skill nodes on except I spent real money for it/them.
I used to log in and play for several hours. Now, I can only stand to play maybe 4 matches and I have to log out.

He didn't say he opposed using it as intended. It's just rarely used at all in solo-QP (same with VOIP, yakety-yak in the lobby, silence afterwards...if they even have it enabled at all) and when it is, it usually just consists of a string of "Affirmative" "Negative" repeated over and over until their ADD kicks in and then nothing the rest of the match.
