Solos and Duos are needed
This game lacks of solo and duos. Making people to play in party with randoms is a good idea, but forcing them to do so is not. Sometimes its possible to find a great teammates and win a game with th...
Any plans or ETA on Solo or will it always be 3's.
I have no one that plays this game and would really like to play it without randoms.
Blatantly obvious we need a solo mode: too many people dropping at loading, or separating (they even allow this...), or going afk etc.
Time wasted too much in the little time I get to play.

There's nothing blatantly obvious here except that you want to try a Solo mode. Nor is there any reason to believe the game is somehow doomed without it as some others suggest.
Yes, playing with randoms mostly sucks. But that's true in any team game. Wouldn't be a team game otherwise. It doesn't mean we should encourage people to forget what the game is meant to be and play a gimmicky solo mode instead. As I described in another post, the split will always hurt the main mode. A much more obvious thing is that we need a better Friends system. If we were able to instantly befriend any random we liked to play with we'd probably all had dozens of them by now and might never have had to play with randoms again.
Apex Legends is the first BR game which is designed with a clear and singular vision. All others were more or less randomly putting things out to see what sticks. PUBG still can't even decide if it's a TPP or an FPP game. Fortnite BR and Blackout are modes stuffed into games that were meant to be whole different things. These and all the others that failed feel like experiments. Early Access kind of stuff. Apex is the first real deal. A BR game where everything makes sense, a game that knows exactly what it's meant to be. Stuffing a half baked solo mode into it would be a step back.
I may not sound like it, but right now I myself would like it if there was a solo mode. I just very much doubt if that's a good way to go for the game and I don't think arguing for it is reasonable. Certainly not before getting a bigger friends list. And I'd say duos are almost definitely a no go, hard to image it would ever be worth it. It's quite amazing how much teamwork is possible without even needing a mic in this game and 3 players per squad is so perfect because every ping can be a vote thanks to the ability of others to acknowledge it. I would rather see Respawn spend their time on improving this even further instead of investing it into a mode that removes the whole thing.
