Does the playerbase hate fun now?

I am someone returning to siege after many years of not playing (I played when it came out for around 3 years). Doing funny strategies and generally messing around in casual has always been one of my favorite parts of the game when I’m not sweating my ass off in ranked.

Anyway, I’ve noticed people are noticeably sweatier in quick match than they used to be (idk why lol, if you care so much then go play ranked or standard at least and you’ll actually have 5 people on both teams).

So I wanted to test it, and I’ve been playing rook every game, walking outside immediately, placing my rook armor down and spinning in circles while t-bagging and looking straight up. Now this should be seen as a universal sign that I am meming, however every single time, someone shoots me. They don’t even aim for the head, or come up and knife me (I’d let them clearly), it’s as if they genuinely think I’m going to suddenly start sweating in casual and I’m not trying to switch teams.

Back in the day I was able to get all 10 players outside hanging out peacefully in ranked lobbies, and now even casual sucks. I really don’t understand splitting casual and standard if the casual players just treat it like standard anyway.
