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 them, but its extremly rarely. Even if you are playing with 1 friend in squad its mostly hard to comminicate with 1 random guy with or without voice chat.
Please consider adding Solos and Duos.
Please, give us solos, I don't have friends so and random squads are *. I hate either having my team die on me or having to drop solo and then die by a player that I thought was solo but had his entire squad pull up on me.
You wouldn't be a "beast" in trios, because you could get matched up with teammates that don't listen to you and don't help you during fights. In solo if you're good it means you can beat people in 1v1s but in trios you might have to beat people in 1v3.

Adding solo's would just make the game more appealing to a wider audience while changing nothing for the people that like the current team aspect of the game.
I see a lot of people complaining about getting teamed up with selfish randoms who don't communicate and just do their own thing. These are people that would solo queue if the option was available, leaving you with a better gaming experience since you would generally be grouped up with people who want to be in teams.
If they add solo's and you don't like it then just continue to play the game the same way you are right now. It literally doesn't affect you.
No it doesn't need solo/duo. You know why? Because I guarantee you're gonna hate it. And then you will leave it. You are trying to change the dynamic of the game that separates itself from the monotony of traditional BR. This game was built around THE SQUAD, and the MECHANICS of a squad. It what sets this game apart from all the other trash BR games. Squads in Fortnite or CoD did absolutely nothing. Squads in this game changes the whole dynamic of combat, which is why their decision truly raised the bar above traditional BR.
If you wanna play solo, then get back to Fortnite and CoD. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a game designer publishing something that seperates itself from the rest of the genre. They aren't forcing you to play this game.
And whether you support this game or not, Respawn, and Apex Legends will continue to rise in popularity because it already appeals to a bigger audience. The audience that despised the traditional BR model.
My entire friends list is full of people that hated BR...until this game dropped. Now my entire friends list is literally playing one game. Apex is EXACTLY what BR needed.
There are already threads about this:This one is pretty good.
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.
asd
Solos and duos would be great addition and in all honest I feel are desperately needed. I dislike playing with random fills if only me and one friend are playing. I like to have the flexibility of picking solo/duos/squads given who's on. I'm not interested in random players with no mics, trolls or someone whos mic sounds like they're standing behind an F-35 jet. Finding an actual decent 3rd fill is rare.

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.
Teams of 3 **only** and high time to kill makes each battle a war of attrition where more numbers has a much larger impact on the game than individual skill.
The game is a straight up joke for solo players and just average at best for premade teams of 3. No real way for one player to carry randoms every game and try to herd them around with pings because they don't have mics. It's a joke. There's no quads either, and there are very good reasons why almost all professional game rules set team sizes to 4. Not 3
