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.

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.
- Kyldenar3 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!"- Asmodeus5663 years agoHero+
That only makes sense if you are playing as a solo player.
What about players that only play with a full team.
Looks like picking the psychology that fits your view or picking a view that fits your psychology.
I will say it once again S2 solo play was not good. Solo play now would not be good.
If you want to play solo play duos with no fill.
