I hate to have to do this but the game isn't fun anymore solely because of matchmaking. 90% of the time I get paired with people that have never touched a computer game before and the other 10% of the time I get paired with salty players that are looking to pick a fight with you. Almost every other game I play, I get reported for intentionally feeding, even when I go positive. I get reported for harassment even when I never say a single thing in chat. Even when I give teammates commendations they still feel salty enough to report the entire team. This happens almost every single game.
Along with that, there's always one or two salty players that aren't looking to have a good time. The player base is so unbelievably toxic that the game is no longer fun. Every match, I get a teammate that harasses everyone or decides they want to intentionally feed because they don't care.
It says on steam I've played over 350 hours, but I've been playing since the beta back in 2012. I should not be getting paired with players like this with how much playtime I have, which tells me that the overall matchmaking experience is probably like this across the board. In order to have fun in this game now, you must play with friends. Period. I can almost guarantee you that you will not have a fun time playing by yourself because the matchmaking is so unbelievably terrible that I no longer find this game fun, and I've been playing for 9 years.

Edit: Every single Persephone player is toxic and looking to pick a fight with you. Literally every single one. If you get paired with a Persephone, do yourself a favor and just mute them.
