How would Solo mode effect those who don't want to play it?

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.
