When will Respawn finally listen?
Solos needs to be added there is no question about it. You are truly robbing a large portion of your player base from being able to enjoy the game more fully. Its been over 2 years now and this is ST...

Yes there are a select couple characters that wouldn't be good in solos because of theit team abilities, but the majority of the characters can be played just as well in solos.
What you are describing about hot drops leading to big circles with no fighting, that happens in trios a lot currently and if thats not hurting the game then adding solos with that happening won't do it either.
I personally know a couple of people who have quit the game because of the no solos option and adding solos would greatly improve the team based games as well. Do you play duos in a random que? How many times have you had your teammate drop by themselves and then leave you when they die, or die immediately and leave making you a solo anyway? Most of those players would move to solos.
Before crossplay, the arguement that was made that adding solos would hurt the game because que times would be longer was valid, but with crossplay I fail to see how adding a solos mode would hurt the game as a whole. Selfish players move to that que, players who don't play because there are no solos come back, and players that don't want to random que benefit. I do remember that statement but that was also before crossplay. The solos LTM was thoroughly enjoyable, and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.
@The7O2Guy The solo mode did hurt the game and not even in que issues. It was not que issues they found to be troubling with it.
@E9ine_ACThey probably based their findings off of 2019 shadowfall event, that was the worst ‘’solos’’ game mode I have ever played in my life who in their right mind would give a team of shadows unlimited respawns to repeatedly skydive on to you over and over and over with death markers for your exact location... of course players were teaming together.... who wouldn’t in that situation? Everyone became teammates in the final 10 anyways so teaming wasn’t even a big issue in that mode its not like it was a real battle royale mode
Everytime I tried to fight any other player on that mode I would instantly be punished by a hoard of skydiving shadows to punch the crap out of me so I ended up mostly camping above a door next to the dropship just to have a chance to escape... thats NOT what we want when we ask for solos we want the iron crown event where I personally only encountered one trio of gibralters teaming together which isn’t a problem considerring I drop solo in trios everyday whats the difference? Its still 1 v 2 or 1 v 3 so if teaming ever does happen on solos who cares just add a report option to report them its that simple
you all have to agree with me on one thing, wether you personally like solos or not you would not be forced to play it... if you would rather play with randoms like me dropping solo, rage quitting as soon as they are downed, etc that want to play solo but are being forced to be with other players than go ahead be miserable with randoms everyday but If solos was an option, even a no fill option, we would get what we want which would give you what you want... a group of randoms who actually WANT to play as a duo/trio together
Sometimes I actually enjoy playing with randoms and other times I just want to do my own thing and don’t care about winning the match, sadly Im not able to do my own thing without ruining the experience for other players and I do not blame myself I blame Respawn/EA for not giving us an option to be lone wolves
- @TheApexLegendNub Their info was based on the Solo LTM that was in earlier seasons. Halloween event played no part in the figures they seen well before that event was released.
@E9ine_ACThere also wasn’t much of a playerbase though especially on pc, now that crossplay is a thing and Nintendo switch is releasing soon there will be plenty of players to introduce more game modes in general and most legends have recieved a ton of buffs and nerfs since then so solos might be more balanced
