Solo queue players don't need a handicap.
They need to:
Press the Play with Squad button (when they're paired with like-minded players).
Send a friend invite (when they're paired with like-minded players).
Send a game invite (when they're paired with like-minded players).
Additionally, they need to:
Be polite, Care about mutual strategy, Play together, and Have fun.
Unlike other games that have high tier restrictions, Apex is a 3 player Battle Royale. Find two people to play with and compete. It's not that hard of a concept.
The solo queue community blaming and confusing the devs for a lack of "personal" effort is beyond ridiculous.
P.S. - I'm doing my best not to get tilted with this topic. 🤦♂️
