Ever wonder why this game feels so exhausting to play?
It’s because we’re forced to play as teams, more often than not, with random people we don’t know.
Encouraging teamwork, communication and cooperation is amazing and I highly respect the sentiment. However, for the overall health and longevity of this game, the ability for people to play by themselves, without having to worry about their teammates is, in my opinion, essential.
We all agree, this game is at it’s best when played in squads, but consider our mental health and stamina for a second. To play this game for extended periods of time you need saint-like levels of patience, something many of us just do not have. For many of us, just the thought of turning on the game and playing with randoms is exhausting.
With the queue times being what they are at the moment and with solo mode being out of the question, the best way to implement this would be to allow us to solo queue in Duos Mode. A solo queue in Duos could also satisfy “leavers” who try and replicate a solo queue by ignoring their teammates.
