Initial thoughts on Solo mode, what are your thoughts?

I was able to play solos for a couple hours tonight so this post may be a little premature. More interested on what you all think, but here it goes...

Overall, after figuring out the best way for me to to play, I liked solo mode even though many times it had me saying "what the heck, this is dumb!" Like the time Pathfinder lazered me while hiding out on a ledge about 20 Apex meters above me (this happened a few times).

Liked:

No more random teammate nonsense!

Different game style that favors more deliberate, even pace vs fast paced uber aggressive play style.

Ability to have more 1v1 battles that help players improve shooting/movement/etc.

The shorter ring closing times to keep the pace from being too slow = boring.

The loot seemed to be better overall, although whenever I dropped in a hot/busy zone still seemed to be really unlucky with loot (actually 1st to die on one such occasion, 60th/out of 60, nice!)

No more random teammate nonsense (this needs repeated)!

Dislikes:

Having to play uber paranoid in an attempt to avoid getting lazered by players camping out in every "nook and cranny"

Not having teammates to help locate and mark enemies in general, not just the campers. Similar to 1st dislike....just makes the game a bit more tedious.

The game is really choppy/laggy after landing, moreso than before.

What are your thoughts on solo mode?

@cobrakev98 Ranked, or anything with more balanced matchmaking based on skill, will be a plus no doubt.

Seems like solos is a hit this far so maybe it stays or is part of more temporary events like this one....

It really highlights the cheaters in the game.......
At least with squad, you may get a cheater on your side to even up the difference.

I also quit the game months back and never looked back. I have zero interest in playing with randoms. I enjoy the game alot with the solo mode . It really needs a ranked solo mode. A ranked mode with random people on your team .... I dont even know where to start how bad of an idea that is. Unfortunately once solo's is gone I wont be playing this game anymore.
A bit off topic here, but:

I don't actually mind playing with randoms in itself. I often find it fun, even. The problem is that when you queue random in Apex, you constantly have to fight agianst duos and even full premades. And that's so incredibly unfair, I have no words to describe how stupid it is that the system allows such matchups. That's why I quit the game some weeks ago. Random queue, duo and premade should be 100% seperate, both in casual and in ranked.
