We need a solo type mode

How is it almost 2023 and we still don't have any kind of solo or solo queue option to play? Most people play by themselves and don't want to face three stacks all day and duos is worse. I just want ...

@XxColdFangxX It boils down to more than just a team-based game. You have legend abilities that would stand no chance against a legend who could be tailored for solo. A lot of abilities would not hold a lot of value and some utterly useless.

Then comes the solo matchmaking. If you are put into hard lobbies in trios people above someone's play skill levels then expect solo to give the same outcome. People will still be facing insanely good players who stand no chance. So even if it was to be released I could see a ton of issues rising up with people expecting to be put in a more slow pace game. In reality, solo mode would create kill-chase challenges. Making a lot of peoples play experience horrible.

@E9ine_AC

I have to say, I agree with @XxColdFangxX. "It's a team game," is an excuse, not a reason. The fact that some legends would be useless is also an excuse, not a reason. The fact that among viable legends you would have a rock, scissors, paper effect at work is, again, an excuse. This game already has a rock, scissors, paper weapon sandbox, and something of that effect in legend selection, although it's diluted by having three legends per team instead of just one.

The fact remains that the reason solos is not only not a priority, but considered anathema by the developer, is because they believe the more limited engagements cause higher churn, shorter playtimes, and lower revenues. I think that's short-sighted and misleading to say all that based on a poorly executed, single season ltm, but there you have it.
