Even before then, people were up in arms about several changes.

Me and one friend used to play regularly, but they just straight up removed duos for almost a year. Trying to integrate a random third player into our teamwork just didn't work, so we stopped playing.

By the time they added duos back, we'd lost interest.

They made several changes like that, and I'm fairly certain hundreds of thousands of players felt burned in similar ways. You can't just "temporarily" remove the reason your players stick around, and expect them to stick around.
