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...
Forum Discussion
We all know many of the various advantages and disadvantages about having Solo.
BUT, it certainly would be great, so we don't have to rely on anyone but ourselves in the game, because we all know too how bad match making is in the game, and how bad playing with randoms can be.
Regardless of all the various advantages and disadvantages, Solo would be great, so we can just do it alone, no one else standing in our way!
Honestly, putting three randoms together in a team doesn't change the fact that a lot of randoms still play solo in the team-based mode.
Most of them are self-centered and do not care about teamwork, pinging or waiting more than two seconds to get revived.
That kind of behaviour is spreading like wildfire because there are no obligations towards your teammates and there are no repercussions when you're a d*ck and drop solo, leave early or trashtalk all the time.
Positives:
- Some playes will be happy temporarily. Others more permanently.
Negatives:
- Increased MM wait times even more because of split lobbies.
- Less stable connections to game servers because of longer queue times creating more exceptions to MM (see point #1)
- Solo lobbies would be reduced to just the core 2-3 meta characters
Also Respawn has been very clear about this and they said it's not gonna happen. Please stop with these posts.
@EffSBMM1On your negatives,
1. Remove rank split or duos even though they could currently sustain it.
2. Connections are absolute trash anyway.
3. Almost all legends are viable for solo now.
They had already said this prior to solo being released in S2 that their focus was on it being a ''team game'' but it happened as it was highly requested so he's within his right to give feedback about a feature that's highly requested, has already been temporarily implemented and would address some glaring issues with the current mode that Respawn are unwilling to address or improve upon.

I want solos. But it's not gonna happen outside of LTM. People need to be able to move on if they can't quit yapping about it on the forums that they don't even read. Twitter and reddit is what they read because there's way more feedback there.
But to your points...
- Swap duos for solos. I like it.
- Connections are trash because of SBMM and split Playlists. We need to not encourage to eff the servers further because IMHO those two issues are what's breaking the game.
- I'm not sure I agree. Mirage is still pretty dookie and Lobas not impressive either.
@Solim66Sometimes I enjoy squads, and other times I want nothing to do with teammates so just drop solo and don’t really care much about winning the game I just want to mess around and get a few kills here and there
I wouldn’t do it if i had a choice for a no fill option or even solos but currently there are no other options for lone wolves like myself so theres no other choice than to ruin the experience for other people... last night I probably ruined the experience for 20-30+ people but they all died within 60 seconds and rage quit anyways so no harm was really done imo and if they survived I just played with them til we either won or died but today Im ready to enjoy some trios and don’t really feel like going soloedit: literally an hour and im tired of randoms and just gonna play something else
- @TheApexLegendNub I think you're fine really. If you want to play pubs as a squad, use LFG or add friends as you play to make a pre-made squad. If you're going to solo-que, recognize "solo" is in that, and that is just how pubs is, a solo experience with a squad.
If you wanna solo-que but play as a squad, then play ranked where it's designed to influence teams to play as such.
Dropping solo in pubs is the best way to warm up and get better IMO as an individual player. Like you said everyone just over-pushes, dies, and quits in pubs without wanting to wait to get their banner picked up. So instead of getting mad with a solo-teammate, just learn how to not die. Cuz when you DO get solid teammates, no one wants a teammate who keeps getting knocked all the time.
