Apex Is Primarily a battle royal game

Apex Legends primarily started out as a Battle royal game only.. 

It does puzzle me why they're taking solong to add Solos to the game, I mean if your main selling point is battle royal why not have many battle royal

game modes rather than just 3. , solos, duos, Trios, and even squads of 4 i'm aware they've said they don't want to go above squads of 3s. arena is great

but why can't we have private matches against friends etc.

    While I agree completely that more game types are better than less, and the absence of solos is shameful... I expect the devs would tell us that the number of lobbies and modes is as large as it can get with the population the game maintains. Any more and the population is spread too thin to guarantee short queue times and respectable skill-based matchmaking. Did I just say that last part with a straight face?
  • The game is balanced around Trios, this barely works with Duo games though Quad and Solo games are definitely not made for this kind of balance.

    They've tried Solo's before, despite some players loving it, they've collected data.

    That data indicated things for them to decide shutting it down, so It's most likely not going to return... ever.

    Private matches are more reserved for tournaments, as it takes up server capacity.

    If they decide to host private matches on the host computer, then it means players can develop cheats easier and other things become much easier to find out.

    There are modded versions of Apex out there that can be used for games against friends... though I do not endorse playing on these clients.

    It's not allowed to have such a client, therefore your account can be banned for having such client.
