How would Solo mode effect those who don't want to play it?
If they stayed in Squads how would the addition of a Solo mode change their actual in game, gameplay?
Forum Discussion
@Rima131313 It splits the playerbase. This mythical solo-only crowd that will bolster the games numbers significantly doesn't exist. Most people who play games online are interested in playing WITH people, hence the multiplayer part.
Adding a mode that would take away the players from the group lobby would lower the life expectancy of the game unless it was carefully tailored to steal another games playerbase (I.E fortnite or pubg) and the ways theyd have to bastardise the game to make it similar enough to REPLACE those games for their existing audiences would just make it rubbish to play anyway.
I play in Australia and it's difficult to keep a game populated here at the best of times. This is true in a lot of other places around the world to the tune of millions of players cumulatively. Scatter those players across multiple versions of essentially the same game and you're risking queue times increasing etc etc.
With regards to ranked : we already cant get games higher than plat to even pop 99% of the time. Plat games dont pop outside of a specific window of hours in the evening. If they brought solos out and added solo ranked as well as casual - it would kill ranked Apex in my region stone-dead.

you are free to change server most of people play in eu/na servers based on time even people from asia play on NA/EU servers
- @adidasPowah Or we could just keep the game in a state where we can play with less than 250 ping?
No one is changing servers and enjoying themselves. Why don't the EU/NA players come to Aus and populate it for us? 😛

I do

Some of the people you play against won't be. I've seen an influx of Americans on EU servers when they must have down time. They affect game play quite a bit.
You shouldn't be able to server hop that far imo. You may not notice, but I bet other players on that server notice.
@adidasPowah You are free to play a different game.
