Solo que players need their own lobbies

Solo que players need there own skill based matchmaking lobby. Not solo mode but a mode where all the teams are solo players matched together, tired of 1v3ing sweat 3 stack every match. When i play duos same thing,  just 1v2 a 4k 20bomb pred/master premade. Apex gotta add a mode for solo que players who play the game for fun not like its their job smh

  • I keep seeing this discussion pop up in General and Feedback forums, and it's high time that everyone is reminded that your casual queue experience has to be weighted against the three items mentioned:
    • Good SBMM
    • Low queue times
    • Premades vs. premades

    You can basically choose one sometimes. For people who are in less populated servers, they'll understand that if they get in quick it might be because the game understands that the player pool is lower than normal, so they are going to go against people of higher or lower skill than themselves. There are also times when solo queue have to go against premades because otherwise they're stuck in the queue forever.

    Granted, I understand that many people are playing casual right now because they feel ranked is a bit lopsided. But the queue is not always going to be daisies as a result. Additionally, if this was more of a problem in ranked (which from what I see, is very rare), then it would be a different discussion. But at some point, even in ranked, a balance has to be struck to get people into a game together.

    So, which one will it be? Do you just want to wait forever for a game that will have good matchmaking because it takes that long to pull people together? Or would you rather get in quick and hope for the best?

  • Do note that this change makes it impossible for a duo squad to play trios as there won't be a solo player available to fill that slot.

    The choice would be to scrap Trio's or live with it as is, if we exclude this feature from trios then it's definitely not a change that should be made.

    As koulnis has said above me, yeah it is pretty much correct.

    I myself have played Overwatch for a long time, though I've abandoned it a long time ago.

    Long queue times started plaguing the game after deciding to split queue's.

    Once they made the decision of splitting it once, it became a normal thing for them, so they started to do it more and more.

    I don't think we should introduce that option, there are just too many downsides currently, though a system could always be revised to make it work.
