Fill & No Fill

I am tired of begging for Solos/duos so I came up with another solution to this problem after playing Fortnite, Add an Option for ‘’ Fill’’ and ‘’No Fill’’ in the Lobby

This is a rather simple concept

Fill: will fill in your squad with 1-2 random players as usual depending if you are a solo or duo in the lobby 

No Fll: will NOT fill in your squad with 1-2 random players and allow you to play the game solo to do a certain daily or weekly challenge or to just drop solo and do your own thing for awhile and will also allow players to play as a duo if they choose to do so

This isn’t a permanent and is more of a temporary solution to the lack of solos and duos as you will still be queued 1 vs 3 or 2 vs 3 but I would love for this option to be added to the game so we atleast have a choice to be queued solo or duo as Im mainly playing for XP and not necessarily to win and I just want to fight and try to enjoy the game without being forced to deal with 2 other players who would rather loot the whole match

  • @FaIIenAngeI777 I think adding these options would help solve the problem with players dropping solo or rage quitting as soon as they die in some cases but a lot of players leave for many other reasons like bad teammates or are just impatient and they just don't feel like sticking around but I am all for adding these options as I think they will be a great feature to have on Apex and would fix part of the leaving issue and would help avoid the need to add penalties in casual
  • @FaIIenAngeI777 Good idea.
    Although, couldn’t you simply just drop solo? Maybe meet up with your teammates at a later point, if they live that long. (Or something$

    Just separating solos and premades would be enough to reduce the toxicity of solo play for me.

    I'm so sick & tired of facing off against 3-man pre-made predator squads with useless randoms at my side. (or, more often than not, off on their own getting killed & D/C'ing)

    It makes a mockery of what SBMM is supposed to accomplish.

    Either fix it, or scrap it, 'cos the game experience it's creating for diamond tier players who solo queue is utterly toxic & not at all fun.

  • @Sir_Named Currently thats the only option is to drop solo, which ends up in 3 ways, either A both teammates die and leave, B you die and leave, C Meet up later on

    I would rather have the ‘’No Fill’’ option so your not putting 2 other players at a disadvantage but that also eliminates the option of you meeting up later which happens sometimes

    @TheJumpingJawaLate at night if i decide to log on a bit i usually get queued with 2 predators so I understand how frustrating it is for you in higher lobbies... its frustrating enough for me in lower lobbies

    My lobbies are anywhere between level 1 to players with 2-3k kills usually but sometimes a 6-8k kill wraith or Lifeline will slip in other than that I havnt seen many predators during the day time besides waking up one morning and Diegosaurs was the champion so we all joked that we should kill ourselves now lol and I was queued with Neenie one day but I have issues when I see a premade squad with 1-3k+ kills each as the champion while im over there with a level 27 and a level 36 with less than 20 kills each...im better off alone than with them in most cases

  • If you will never add solos I still would at the very least like to see a No Fill Option in the near future, I don’t enjoy playing apex anymore unless Im fighting and having some action... giving me 2 players I don’t even want who want to land at the far edge of the map in 90% of my games with zero action is killing the game for me, some squads are great but the matchmaking system is so terrible when it comes to choosing your squadmates or I just have horrible luck and get stuck with level 30s in most of my games ,I just want to get on do my damage for the event challenge and get off as quickly as possible and its not possible playing a match with looters at the edge of a map with absolutely zero action and not even doing 4-500 damage in 15 minutes because we have absolutely no fights at all until the final 3 or 5 squads, I can’t stress this enough I feel like having teammates is hinderring me most of the time and the only time I  can enjoy the game is as a solo or duo... occasionally you get a good trio but most of my wins are from duos... I would prefer solos over duos though if I had to choose one or the other

    to be 100% honest I have basically quit the game other than doing dailys/weeklys and Events and spend more time on the forums than I do in the actual game... I went from playing 10-14 hours somedays to 1-2 hours maybe 3-4 max but most of the time I quit for the day the second the dailys are done, I wouldn’t be playing at all if my battlepass was completed as there is no reason to even log on otherwise... The free legendary weapon skins look like trash rare or common skins this event, there are absolutely no free event packs available as usual so there honestly isn’t even an event unless you dump $200 on cosmetics...the only things I actually love so far about the event are the addition of evo shields and the revenant stat trackers other than that all apex causes me is more stress and frustration over dealing with teammates than anything else so I don’t see any reason to log on anymore other than to finish the BattlePass and leave as fast as possible

  • The fill/ no fill option doesn't work on my system I keep trying to play games, but it keeps puffing me onto full teams

    Hmm so maybe the no fill/fill option do work. But not for the intended players. I play with Fill my team and I get so many solo games, and only 2 players in it. It's really annoying.
