Didn't expect so many to be against solo while there is no reason against it since the game is very popular and will have plenty of players for both queues, I guess their logic works like this:
*You playing 3 man squad and enjoying it*
Me: "I'm ok with that"
*me requesting solo, while 3 man squad still available for anyone*
You: "OW MAH GAAD, STOP OPPRESSING ME !!!!!"
Where do you get these conclusions from? What is plenty? How do you know this? Plenty for what? By my observation, "plenty" is almost impossible in Battle Royale. Because even in EU, the most tightly populated region, I see a noticeable difference between peak and off hours where it takes way longer to find a game and you often get dropped into an incomplete squad if you're playing with randoms. That's right, even with this huge start of 25 million players in the first week, there isn't always "plenty" of people for even the basics, not to mention all the finer benefits of good matchmaking some of which I described before. The latter would never have more players than needed, the more players the better. Less players in the queue = worse experience. Period. Would you stop making this completely nonsensical argument that splitting the player base will somehow have no effect? In fact, there is plenty of evidence in BR history that due to sheer convenience of not having to find friends to play with, solo mode would suck not just some but the majority of players into it.
The more I think about the solo mode, the more unreasonable it seems. At first, I thought solo will probably need to be there, just not a priority. Now I actually don't think it should happen at all. And this time I was pleasantly surprised that even reddit seems to agree. The only two highly upvoted topics on the matter are the ones that argue against the solo mode. I find that reddit generally sucks at highlighting any well thought out viewpoints but does well at showing what is popular and proposals for solo mode are clearly not.
Your point is quite selfish. When you lack friends you like to play with you can go and get more of them. But instead you ask for the game to be modified in a way that will definitely hurt all the players that are enjoying it the way it is.
