A huge reason why solos must be added

Keep in mind this is just one of the many reasons to add solos there are others. I play with a lot of randoms in this game and i solo q 90% of the time It gets very annoying when the game constantly gives me low level teammates below lvl 20 or 10

When i see a low level teammate i leave the game immediately because that is an automatic frustrating loss. Without solos, i lose because i have to cherrypick my games and waste time leaving then requeuing or else deal with complete noobs who have no clue what to do

And these people lose because i left the match and now they only have 2 on their team. Nobody wins. And there are a lot of people like me im sure of it because people dont want to play matches they know are a lost cause

If i could play solo mode, this would never happen again. I would never have to leave another match due to low lvl teammates because there are none its just me. That would make me and the people i potentially leave very happy

Now i see 3 reasonable options in this situation

1. Leave it as is: this is horrible because as ive made clear nobody wins and we are all annoyed

2. Add a leaver penalty to punish people like myself. This is a bad option as well it will only make me more mad that the game is essentially forcing me to play with noobs and i will probably stop playing the game completely

3. Add solos: by far the best option, everybody wins, nobody is unhappy and all of the problems are solved without creating any new ones

It doesnt take a genius to see that solos MUST be added asap

I dont know about solo tho, but imagine if you get paired with a newbie and a chinese bot.

Option 4 - make a few friends?

Or at least make a matchmaking for new accounts if not a skill matchmaking.

Level 85 here.
I solo que a little also.
I also win games with low level players.
Just last night won a game with 18 kills. Squad mates were level 12 and 15.
They had 2 kills each.
I find it to be a bit more challenging and a more rewarding win, but that's just me.

They dont really play apex and id rather play solo anyways but real solo not fake solo like it is now
Not everyone wants to play in a group with other people all the time in fact many dont at all so your option is no good doesnt solve the problem
My option does solve it completely

You are a good player im not saying its impossible to win with low lvls of course it isnt but the chances are greatly diminished and gets very annoying for me
Im good at the game my highest kills in a match is 14 but i am not good enough to consistently carry noobs to wins however i know i am good enough to win in solos for sure

Or the best option would be to add ranked mode. This would fix all your problems as well as add longevity to the game.
In ranked mode no one will troll, no one will quit the game when they're downed, also you only play with people of similar skill as you (not to be confused with account level).
Ranked mode would also add another thing to grind (grinding ranks or lowering in rank depending on if you perform well or not).

If you don’t want to play with other people there are these games that you can play offline in a campaign it is crazy this game was not meant for you and that is ok play a different game there are plenty out there so find one you like and play it
they have committed multiple times saying there are no plans for solo so bye Felicia

What a ridiculous argument. Yea instead of adding solos to a battle royale game, in which solos is a commonplace and staple mode, just go play something else.
Imagine a store going "Oh we dont sell soda even though we know millions of people drink it and most of our customers want it. Just go buy it at another store."
They said there are no plans currently for solo that does not mean never. If i had to bet i would say the great demand for solos and pressure from the community will convince respawn to see reason and add it into the game

I think ranked would be a good idea, but not instead of solos. If i had to pick i would still take solo mode a mile ahead of ranked.
It wouldnt fix all my problems because my biggest problem is literally that i just want a solo mode where i can fight on my own and test my skills against others with no teammates on either side
If they add both thats great but solos needs to come first no question its the more needed option
