So essentially Apex is not a game you can play on your own if you want a balanced or fair experience....that, quite frankly, is ridiculous and mandating a full premade to stand a fair chance is going to have a negative impact on player retention. I want to play on my own, can deal with crappy team mates, but can't deal with the 4k Pred teams that just stomp everyone because they function as a top tier team.
When there are more than enough people in both categories, teams and solos, and it's recognised that solos perform worse than a team.....well there's no reason at all to try to discourage solo players through that additional artificial difficulty. Premades know how each other play, can communicate via discord to co-ordinate pushes and share heals and also how to retreat....the leaving thing is just an added bonus. Proper teamwork is essential late game and a trio will always have better team work than three solos.
I want to play this game solo, in part because i don't have a functional mic and also because I don't want to deal with performance expectation....you're telling me that I essentially can't if i want a good experience.
@MIH4YL0WICHexcept you're wrong....it's not a fair proposition to pit trios against solos, and it's not complaining without merit when you're pointing out something that doesn't work.
I grind Kovaaks for around 40mins to an hour every day to get better (this is my first multiplayer game and aside from Bioshock 1 and 2 and the FEAR games my first real FPS) but I'm ok at the game now

By all means give me some pointers how I can 1vs3 a Pred team communicating on Discord....
Just need to stress this again...If I'm solo queueing, I DO NOT want to face three stacks. I also do not want to play against duo's if I'm soloing and would also like to have the option not to play with them either (because more often than not this is a miserable experience for the third wheel). Respawn, you're RUINING the solo experience for this game....
@FaIIenAngeI777I have no idea what you're talking about....my main issue here is with the out of balance solo experience when taking into account duos and trios.
Loaded into a match as a duo today (as in solo queuing and no third appeared). Killed by a three stack.
STOP THIS MADNESS NOW. IT'S NOT FUN.
I play solo a hell of a lot but recently joined a gaming clan due to this point. I got tired of my team mate being knocked and quitting the game or I get knocked my team mate leaves me and runs off on solo adventures or my team mate loot whoring everything in sight. So many times I'd be one hit we would wipe a team I have zero ammo and or heals my team clears it all knowing they don't need it and off they run. Where's the fun in that? Spending your entire game sweating that some enemy will appear and breath on you for the knock.
If you have a pre made like I do a lot now also it's a case of drop loot group and do a quick ammo / health check split up the meds and loot if need be for those who didn't find much then its constant comms on direction of travel / fights then its far easier in an actual fight plus if your down you can advise your team on what's going on from your pov.
Pre made has and always will have a massive advantage over solo. I play both premade and solo like I said but given the choice I'd much rather come against solo players than a pre made pred team who just wants to pub stomp for a bit of an ego boost
