Bring back Quads & Solos

We need to bring back Quads & Solos!

With the recent positive changes for Apex Legends, I think it would be the right time to consider bringing back quads and/or solos. The benefits this will bring to Apex Legends outweigh the cons.

Why?

Many people play with more than 3 friends at once, which can be difficult when you frequently have to split the team. The availability of quads would increase the amount of people who play Apex Legends on a regular basis by making the game accesible to larger teams, which in return would give matchmaking more people to choose from.

What about matchmaking?

There are enough players on Apex Legends already to alter matchmaking in a way that reduces wait times, not only from the an increase in players playing as quads. This can be done by broadening the variety in skill and forcing matchmaking to wait for a certain percentage of players to be available to create a match that doesn't feel dead.

    The main problem is how matchmaking functions because there are plenty of players to go around, it's just that matchmaking fails to fill servers by waiting for enough people in a skillset to queue. Personally, I'd rather wait extra time on the odd queue here and there rather than have dead lobbies. Duos is now ruined due to a lack of players, and with a quad team you have to split the team.

  • Not even a little convinced that either mode would bring back any significant number of players.

    Am completely convinced that the sbmm in this game is already horrific and adding more modes would only make the problem worse.

    You know what? Now that I think about it I don't really believe that it could get any worse. That's how bad it already is. So sure. Why not? Add more modes if that's what people want. If it brings longer queue times that's not the end of the world, and if the sbmm gets worse I doubt very much anyone would even notice.
