[Edit - Admin.] says no plans for solo q
So just a poll type thread but who else feels they will most likely give up on Apex without a solo q in the works?

@darkotheidiot Damn, the more you type here, the more I'm convinced you are an insecure man, who goes to forums to prove to the same people he doesn't care about and doesn't want to play with that he, in fact, is good enough. If you did just a bit of research in psychology, you'd know that this is the basic fear that human beings have - not being good enough. But why would you let a game determine that? If you're a successful dada with a wife, a kid and a job, you should have no fear what-so-ever, no peen syndrome, and just play the game for fun win or lose, just enjoy the experience. No-one has attacked you for being bad, you attacked other people proving that you're this elite level of player.
Point is, every post you make is nonsense, it's complaining and whining. I'd put you in a category of 'at high risk of trying out cheats'. "Bangalore/Wraith is not a team character" - how so? Bangalore if played right will place smokes to prevent his team from getting shot in bad spots, Bangalore will use his ultimate defensively when the team is trying to run away - it is not an offensive ultimate ability if you haven't noticed it yet - Gibraltar's is as it's instant and deals a ton of damage. How is Wraith not a team character? She'll use portals to escape, to flank, to move quicker, to let the team loot longer and heal up while she moves ahead.
It is just completely pointless to discuss with you because I cannot understand how a 29 year old man can have an ego of a 16-year-old, make invalid points and literally spread his toxicity all over the forum arguing against everyone. Just FYI - don't bother responding, the conversation ends here 🙂
@WithLoveEarLWhat you said its true ofcourse. Bangalore and Wraith are team characters. No denying that. They have super useful abilities, that when used right are a massive boon to your team. The problem is.... barely anyone in pug groups use them, as intended. That's where the problem is.. It's not in the legends, its in the players.
You guys keep saying that this game is intended for team play. And thats all true and fine. But the problem is... most people in random groups dont care at all, about playing, as a team.
You get wraith mains that quit, as soon as someone dared to pick their precious main. Usually after a ton of insults, profanity and death wishes coming the way to the person that picked their main, leaving you duo from the start against full squads. 50% of such games, the second person decides it will be a waste of time and leaves aswell, leaving you solo from the start.
You get Lifelines that dont ress, dont heal, dont use ult accelerants to help boost their team with more frequent package drops. On the other end -- I lost count, as Lifeline main, how many times I get my package drops looted completely, without anyone bothering to ask if I actually need something out of them myself, since you know... its actually my Ultimate to begin with and if I decide i will just stop dropping it, which I usually do, once it gets completely looted without anyone asking if i need anything.
You get people that decide to drop solo, because they probably got too cocky and confident in their "amazing" skills, after watching one of the big time streamers play solo -- only to die in the first confrontation with squad on the other side of the map and leave.
You get people that leave the moment they get downed. I had someone leave right infront of me when I just saved him from being finished off by an enemy. He wasn't even completely dead, he was downed, the enemy was killed and I was about to ress him, when he left.
Often once you get downed and killed, the person that goes to recover your banner, usually makes sure first to loot out the best items you had on you, before actually reviving you. Leaving you with worst shields, worst backpacks etc, even if you are in a good position to get to your box. I usually instantly leave when that happens. I am thankful for the revive, but that doesnt give him right to loot my box. I dont care to play with such people. Sure take some ammo, take some heals, shields, but for christ sake dont take my good stuff.
The sum it all up -- random groups often are a mess, atleast in my exprience. People don't care to play, as a team, so that design aspect, usually gets completely ignored in random groups. Once in a full moon you actually get to play with people that can communicate good and play together, which is really enjoyable, but it's such a rarity in random groups.
Tl;dr When the game you designed becomes playable and enjoyable mostly the time when you are fortunate to be able to get to play with friends then this is a huge problem and the game longivity is at serious risk. Many people aren't social -- they dont feel comfortable speaking on voice with people they dont know, they dont care about trying to form pre-made squads with people. They just want to be able to hop online on a fly, queue up and have somewhat of a decent game, usually on their own. Solo queue is what will provide that for these people, and if such a mode dont get implemented these people will leave. It's as simple as that.
Or, that could be said in other words - what it sounds to me is that you're not good enough to put down a squad of 3 on your own and then blame the team for YOUR OWN mistakes. If my teammates are merely meat-shields, I am good. Yesterday I put down 3 squads of 3 people in a non-stop fight on my own. One of my teammates died fighting the first squad, the other while fighting the second squad.
Alright, my 2 cents here,you tell the other guy how immature he is, but you have to bring in context as to why its fine to play team games, because you can use those guys as meatshield.
Thats not how a team game is played...
I want solo's in this game, so when I que for squads, I get people that want to play squads and not someone that thinks of me as additional hp and is not only there to get kills.
There are so many moments, you go in for a revive only to have them quit out, or for them to not even consider returning the favor when you go down after you risk a revive on them, they finish the kill, let you bleed out, so they can take your stuff.
I don't call that *, squad play, I call that *, solo teams.
If they really wanted a team game, they would have made it so you cant play squads with rando's, like Destiny's Trials, no solo que and if you feel yer good enough, have your team log out, now your solo killing pre-made teams bud.
But as long as you can que into it solo, its not a team game.
you brought up footbal, its not, those teams are PRE-MADE teams, its not like each football match fills up with randoms that que in the stadium.
