Without a Full team game is dead, add Solos/Duos

A fair amount of times played I've had people leave in champion select if they dont get their toon, leave as soon as they die, desync out, afk for free exp, or anything else that ruins the experience. It's 0% fun to try to play the game without a curated team.  Why even add in matchmaking like that? theres no ELO tier it seems so one game my team will be all level 1s with no skills who dont know what they are doing, and then a few games later itll be with some dude with 2800 kills who can snipe the wings off a fly at 100 yards. its incredibly frustrating to not only have to regularly deal with leavers and hot droppers, but having to either be dragged along as the anchor on a high level player or to drag along some anchors of your own is tiresome.

    Hot dropping forces you to get better at the game best thing you can do as a new player. 

  • First, some of those 2k kills gamers are cheaters, so dont count with them :P There are way too many to just be skilled players, and we all know about the cheater issue in this game because of Easy "anti" cheat

    Second, i absolutely agree. If someone leaves the matchmaking out of any reason they should add a lock..so this player cannot play for 5 mins...if he does again in the next game 10 mins..and so on.

  • Yesterday alone i crashed 6 times. 6 times. You cannot know if people leave or get disconnected from the server. It is a common issue right now.

    Get a squad from discord. There is even a place here in the forums where you can form a squad. Just don't expect disconnects to magically stop even with a squad until they fix the game and the servers. This is a team game. Overwatch is a team game also, you have to work with a bunch of people you do not know towards an objective. same here. Different genre but same principle. Plus i think they are already working towards solos and duos. Just be patient and if you cannot stand the game play something else and return later. 

  • - Agree with someone that leavers should have a matchmaking cooldown as a slap on the wrist, but then again, there is no competitive mode yet - I'm sure it will be implemented in time for that

    - Competitive mode and ranking will definitely be helpful in playing with similar skill players

    But overall, the only thing that ruins your experience.. is you. The game is so good, it reminds me of the peak Unreal Tournament days on steroids + battle royale + innovative, fun stuff. One thing is to report an issue so it is fixed down the line, another is to whine and complain. Introduce ELO tier - add a million new whiners about how unfair it is. Don't introduce ELO tier - get a different set of million whiners to the mix. Never easy for the devs.

    Solos is actualy bad in this game it would be way too easy for some people to just stomp pubs because how this game is designed to be played around 3 people.Also devs can throw away that nice respawn mechanic and knockdown shields as they are complete *, lifeline passive is good only for faster heals nothing else.

    Penalty for leavers shouldnt be a thing until they fix that random crashing.
  • With all the talk of a solo mode (and the issues that may come with trying to implement that system) I chatted with a few friends and our general consensus was that duos would be the best option. It keeps the element of team play.

    Many times I see friends looking for a third player for a squad. Duos seem to be the most common when people party up but the third player can be a struggle from time to time.

    Just my 2 cents, but if Respawn are to implement another mode, I think duos would work best.

    Solos would require quite a large rework of the the Legend balance, which wouldn't be worth the time and effort to introduce imo.

  • I know it’s something already in the works but give us some info regarding different modes to play.
