Despite the press of the young player-base, Fortnite fills what you describe for me. The building mechanic creates so much opportunity for think-fast, improvise, and outsmart your opponent moments. Plus, playing solo means you don't have to interact with anyone if you don't want to.

Yeah, I try to snipe someone, and they respond by building a 5-star hotel with WiFi.

Apex Legends is good for improvisational gameplay that doesn't involve memorising building patterns. Also it's free!

The tactical opportunities in a fight that are available to a team with a gibraltar and pathfinder vs a gibraltar and pathfinder.. huge. Where does the shield go? Is claiming the high ground worth exposing yourself to the airstrike?
