Using Call of Duty (a military game) with voice chat was oddly similar experience. You can match with two other teammates, then you chat as you help each other succeed in the game, naturally building rapport. Then the game round ends and… that's it, you'll never talk to those people again. It's very abrupt and makes the whole interaction feel weirdly transactional.

I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s awkward to send a ‘friend’ request after one round, yet if you enjoyed the round it would be great to do another.

Recently in LoL I've been sending a friend request to anyone I have more fun with than the average random, and queueing with friends whenever possible. It is a little awkward, but definitely nicer than just randoms. Some players I'll play a few with then unfriend, if I learn that they're generally dislikable.
Wonder if you could ask them before the round ends, "y'all wanna play another?"

That game is pro-war US military propaganda. Feed your brain better things. At least PUBG doesn't have a real world agenda.
