To be honest, I wish they would do away with teams altogether and just make it a solo game, it seems more suited for that anyway with the legends and their skills, like wraiths warp abilities and octanes stim. With people unable to work together Id it would seem like people are more equal since not all of us can get a good team together and as you already mentioned about randoms. Let's hope they at least give us a solo mode soon.
They had Solo mode in the past and it was not good or healthy for the game.
Rampant teaming, Hide and seek till last ring, total RNG game mode.
Been there done that and no thanks for a permanent mode.
For an LTM that might be OK.
- 2 years ago@Asmodeus566 I agree, it simply did not work at the time.
I would like a solo mode just for the sake of switching things up though, but only if they follow Fortnite's style. 1 Type of shield for every player - 100 health, 100 shield and no evo at all. And also either smaller maps or more players on the map so it doesn't feel like your playing in a ghost town like it did before. - Lord_Scorpion342 years agoLegend
@Asmodeus566This was way back in season 2. I'd like them to at least give it another go as an ltm
@blackeyeriveriI'd like to see them try different things like they did with Control & TDM . Idk why they're so stubborn on this. I think bringing back Solos would help the game & players.

None of this is untrue. But I feel like Respawn could easily have re-worked the mode to minimize these problems, if not get rid of them entirely. Or, and here's a thought, embrace the idea of teaming. Turn it into a game mechanic. Just spit-balling here. And if they really cared about hide and seek to the last ring then why do we have the current ranked rules?
No, I have to say that their rationale for discontinuation felt like one of two things: either they didn't have the resources at the time to engineer a solo game mode that was playable, or, more likely, they were doubling down on TEAM-BASED-EVERYTHING because that seems to be what developers do with their shooters these days. Probably drives player engagement and retention or some such. And as much as I'd love to argue with the bottom line, money is money.- Kyldenar2 years agoSeasoned Ace@reconzero The push for "team based PvP games" comes from Marketing and Psychology.
As long as you are _forced_ onto a team, you can blame them for your failure instead of having moments of self reflection or objectively looking at the game's (lack of) matchmaking.
So, people will try again thinking, "This time I will get a good team and win!"

@Asmodeus566But just make it a permamode to make people happy that want it ?
I mean I understand we might run into balance issues but then again if you don’t like it just don’t play it.
But giving people the option to play it would be great and I wouldn’t play it either
