Drop promotion matches! (Squad players must hate me)

I play solo and play a survival game but I'm now being forced to play in a squad with a bunch of randoms who hot drop, or even worse a proper team that's one short, in order to get promoted. I do well in solo and have had some sucess auto matching squad matches but hot drops are not my style, I like stealth and range, so I drop in on the edge of maps and work my way in. This means the squad is one short until I get there, if they've survived that long!

I hate ditching team mates but to be promoted individual survival is the aim, so I do what I have to. I wish they'd get rid of these matches, or let you promote from solo matches too. I'm sure it would be better for everyone concerned!
