First of all, by squad communication I meant the pinging system.
Secondly, if you're going to bark like a karen over a feature that doesn't suit Apex then just know nobody will even dignify you with an actual response.
Thirdly, I play with randoms a lot, @Rastigani, for your information. If you have bad teammates then that's your SBMM taking action.
You maybe mad over his comment, but he is 100% right.
Squad communication you said. Almost no one use it, in terms of talking to you, or wan`t say anything useful, same goes for the ping system.
As well as your playing randoms, we all due and we know what is the situation in there, 99,99% of the time your getting no brainers.
Every game i played(i`m away from Apex, until they fix the game), i got to rely pretty much on myself in 95% of the time.
Whole solo queue experience is ridiculous low. Its frustrating at the very least.
I can`t play with my friends all the time, and mostly i play random.
Let me describe you what is happening:
If i decide to play duos, its actually solos in handicap mode. He dies in the first second and leave the moment he is knock. How is that team playing i don`t know, maybe you will explain it.
Trios:
2/3 of the games i`m on handicap mode again from the legend selection, because someone is gone and every 3-4 game i`m starting with 2 people instead of 3. Big handicap mode.
Try to talk more about the team experience pls.
Most of the time or i should say 90+% of the time if i get knock its over. 90+% of the time its me who is doing 90+% of the damage, and my teammates are 30 seconds behind, even if i`m waiting them and trying to play on slower tempo and are pinging and talking like mad, but in this game even 1 second of time is very important, its the difference between death and life, difference between if your going to 3rd party someone or to escape from 3rd party. And 99% of the time when we get 3rd partied i`m screaming like mad 5 seconds before they come to move and that will get 3rd party and to move, and my teammates just sit and die. All they know is fight, fight, fight. Positioning for them is not a factor. They don`t know which fight to takes and which to not take.
As far as your excuses to not make solos, its completely irrelevant.
Firstable Devs just need to make a tip when they add solos mode(tho they said it million times already), that the game is balanced(very poorly actually) towards trios, so whoever wants to play solos to play solos, but should have that in mind. Its like a player request.
The only thing they are doing with no adding solos is losing player base.
As far as viable legends, they are all pretty much viable i would even say that way more legends will be viable during a solos and way more competitive, than they are in trios for exmaple:
Bloodhound will be insane strong
Mirage will be great
Octane will be insane
Wraith will be great
Revenant will be super strong
Giby very very strong
Rampart strong
Caustic strong
Pathfinder will be strong
Loba(lacking in trios) will be okay
Wattson will be okay
Bangalore(lacking in trios big time) will be okay
Crypto and Lifeline would probably be the 2 of the worst, but they would still be viable due to multiple factors. Yeah they are lacking, but its just 2 out of 14.
If you actually check the viability in trios, there is a lot less viable legends for trios, then for solos. So the funny part is that solos will be way more balanced.
I could pretty much play with 12+ different legends and will be perfectly viable with every single one of them ....
And lastly as far as your previous comment that this is a BR, that doesn`t mean a thing. Warzone has solos and its doing great. Warzone has Solos, Duos, Trios, Quads.
At the beginning i was thinking that duos mode will kinda feel the void for complete solos mode, but it didn`t do it, because 90% of the time your just playing handicap.
