Can we have solos back? 1200 dmg with 2 kills because my squad quits
What makes you devs think people are going to pick your game over others with bs like this? even fortnite had solos are the start of it!!!

@Wingmannedbro I'm not sure what other games do to avoid this but I do know Apex is easier to get into the same lobby as your friends.
A simple countdown and everyone presses ready will send you all 85% of the time into the same lobby. I myself kept doing this during solos so that me and my friend could 1v1 final circle.
It's also not just about those issues, I'm sure they have to consider how certain Legends and their abilities would be useless in those modes and I'm sure they don't want to go down a path where they begin to focus mainly on legends that excel in solos in order to bring them to balance with everyone else while not affecting the normal trios, because honestly that sounds like a pain and extra work that would constantly need to be tweaked.
Don't get me wrong, I want solos/duos as well and would find it fun and amusing but not so much if it kept track of stats because of how certain legends would clearly give an advantage over others meaning you would be taking a risk on your stats if you choose someone like Crypto or Wattson.
Seems like they need more feedback on it if anything because the only feedback I remember people saying is how this legend is broke or that legend is and the basic, "yea man, this mode needs to stay permanently!" but nothing beyond that.

People have been queing on a timer in online games for over 10 years in places like world of warcraft.
The prerogative is to be running an enjoyable game, not to make literally every person play completely nice and fair. People who team in lobbies is not something that dictates game design, never has done so, and never should be.
And legend balance is a non issue. Not specific to solo's whatsoever. The same risk to stats is what you also have picking crypto in squads.
They don't need to change anything at all for solo's other than what they did in iron crown, remove knockdown shields and respawn beacons, and presto. It's done.
It's just a casual non ranked game mode in case someone can't be asked to play with randoms. "Balance" in video games in general is a joke of a concept in the first place. I'm so surprised you or anyone for that matter believes that adding solo's would bring forth all manner of complications.
It was in the game, and none of the doomsday talk was ever the case. It worked fine, it can be done.
- @Wingmannedbro I understand your point, and if it was to be added, I would hate to see them adjust any legends across all modes in order to fit one. Would be cool if in each mode they had slightly different abilities though.
Balance should matter though in the case of Apex since if one character is massively OP vs the rest, than it would lead to a boring solo mode where everyone choose the same legend and of course you can choose someone else but doing so would decrease your chances of winning a game at all. Also the game is trying to be more competitive so it should always consider balancing to the best they can even if there are people who don't think Apex is competitive.
Anywho I still believe it's a more complicated issue than just opening a new mode and leaving it permanently. I wish the Devs spoke more on this issue so we knew why they haven't add it yet or won't.Solos in canyon was one of the best things in this game <3 <3 <3 🤗
