How solos could work

So, you have said many times that you cannot bring solos because it has a negative effect on certain legends and the ping system, so here's my ideas to buff legends so they will work for solos:

Lifeline

The real problem with Lifeline and solos is her passive, so here's my idea to buff it: If knocked within healing range of her D.O.C. drone, and she has no living teammates, it will automatically revive her. This can be used twice in one game. She also can self-revive herself with her knockdown shield still deployed. Self-revive also takes 10% less time.

Mirage

His problem is also with his passive, so the solution is simple: self-revive while invisible. Decoy will also appear near him.

Wraith

Her ultimate needs to be reworked: Make her ultimate like Voidwalker. When setting the portal she travels into the void, but her percentage is constantly dropping (3% every second). In order to make this less op, people will be able to walk into the void and shoot her while she is setting the portal. This rework could allow for a lot of strategic solo plays.

If there are any other legends that will suffer from solos, please tell me and I'll find a way to change them to work in solos.

Ping System

So, I know the ping system is an essential part of the game, but the only pings I use are the "I see an enemy" ping and the "Let's go this way" ping, and I only use "let's go this way" when landing to see how far I am from where I want to land. But i understand the ping system is important, so here's my idea: When you ping an enemy directly, the ping follows them. When you ping a location, it tells you exactly what time the ring will reach that location. It will no predict future rings unless a survey beacon has been used.

Please consider these changes, and please bring solos in as soon as possible. Thanks.

@s0apt0ken So completely alter and change legends to fit 1 game mode? Nahh ill pass. The game is designed around team game play. You are asking them to redo all legends nearly just to suite 1 game mode when they are already designed coded and programmed to perform for how the game was built.

@ADM-REIxSUPREMO any where from 12-15 hours a day i sure do. I help them i dont hate them. I at one time was new to apex I at one time did not understand why my teammates was doing this or that at this timeor that time. 2500 hours played 12k games. I play with randoms every single day and do not have half the complaints most on these forums do.

I solo que for quite few reasons. 1 anyone can demolish a map when 3 stacked with friends who you play well with. 2 Nothing brings more joy to me then to win with randoms and hear them yell into coms LETS GOOOO. For some this game is about the fun you can have and also can bring others. Just those few good matches with someone like me or many many others can change a persons day or night.

@E9ine_AC I understand that you love playing with randoms, but I play like I'm playing solo. The majority of my teammates are incompetent. I play extremely aggressively unlike my teammates. I've played solos before. I got a solos win, on my friends account. That sucked. I don't care what it takes, I want solos. Personally I think that nothing needs to be changed for solos. But the devs disagree. So, this is my idea of a way to slightly edit some characters so they would be better solo.

@E9ine_ACWhile I do agree that reworking legends just for solos is a really bad idea.
But you just keep yapping about team play team play, there is no such thing as team play for people who soloq, that's it, a solution for those people is still needed

@Renegade_Prime86 Even if they don’t add solos, I would be fine with a ‘’no fill’’option in the lobby to queue into duos as a solo, i played the iron crown event and loved it but the second time they introduced solos was shadowfall... i loved the gamemode and also hated it because you were punished everytime you tried to fight because it would display a death marker and multiple shadows would skydive onto you and once they died more would come and they could kill you in literally 1 slap lol it encouraged camping so badly and led to alot of players teaming together because the final 10 players became teammates anyways

My point is solos needs to be given another chance, don’t add impossible odds so players are encouraged to team up or camp together to have a small chance at success just add a plain and simple solos or combine it with one of the previous ltms like dummies big day or armed and dangerous, also add a report option for teaming

@FaIIenAngeI777 Trust me I my self would be happy with a no fill option, definitely lot of people would use it

@Renegade_Prime86 Well, no fill would be fine. But my real problem is that I practically play no-fill. I want a game mode where I don't have to worry about the enemies teammates.

I really don't understand why anyone would argue against a solos mode. If you don't like solos, don't play solos. It's no like other people enjoying solos will make duos or trios worse for you. i understand if you don't like the gameplay changes. But give me one good reason besides apex is a team game that solos shouldn't be added.
