Literally second game in solos, 7 or 8 kills, top 6 looking for people, I destroy 1 guy but I hear a second one which has clear sight of the first guy but doesn't shoot, he chose me, ok, I run away from the second guy, I almost pull my battery off and I get killed by a third guy. They didn't shoot once between each other. After dying I see all 3 of em looting my body together. This was my second and last solo game.Not to mention the insane boredom I felt that entire game despite killing 7 or 8 guys. I don't think this game is meant to be played solo. Duos would be the perfect balance in my opinion since I always have a buddy to play with but it's weird for me to have a full squad online.I appreciate the try, solos ain't for me though, at least in Apex. (700-800h in Apex btw, not a beginner).

Unfortunately I’ve had this happen to me too, spotted them across containment doubling a guy thought they just thought I was an easy kill until I came up to one (Bangalore) and started melting his purple shields he then ran past the other player (pathfinder) directly behind him and path didn’t blink an eye to focus me. The thing is players that do this arnt very good it was just unfortunate that I’ve been getting lag an micro stutters the entire match and when I went to reload my weapon wouldn’t reload and I was stuck staring at both of them with no weapon. Hope they address servers SOON.

This happened to me today too, I engaged one white skin Mirage, he dipped down under a cliff to pop shields, sends a hologram up, I get bamboozled and then he vaults up the ledge on my right, only now wearing a red skin. Confused, I re-engage then to my surprise the white Mirage vaults up the edge, they focus fire me and I die. I spectate them, they both loot by box together, and one even drops a medkit for the other. Then they go on and continue to work together. This is cheating, they need to add this to the report a player menu selection.

I had the same issue a d I even clipped it and tried to report the situation but nothing this is insane

Ridiculous. I too experienced this. There were 2 guys both sniping at me with longbows. I knock 1 then the other kills me. I was super confused by this and spectated them till the end where they drop all their gear including armor and punch it out to see who wins. What a joke solos is if this is happening. This was on the PS4 as well where I didn't really expect something like this to happen. You should be able to report directly in game. I have it recorded but with no way to report what good does it do..... smh.

You can report on ps4 in the afteraction screen. I am following the conversation since I posted on it somewhere else. Respawn can’t fix anything with this game so it is another FEATURE that will half * work.

Why would platform, third partying, or skill level have anything to do with this conversation?
For the record, I play on PC, I'm pretty good, and I've witnessed teaming up on one occasion (out of roughly a dozen matches).
If you queue at the same time as your buddy, and are geographically close, it doesn't seem unimaginable that you'd end up in the same match.
This is something respawn could easily mitigate with one additional rule in the match maker; don't queue people who are in each other's friends lists in the same solo match.
