@pastaclown A solo mode in Apex would be like a solo mode in a Football game. It's not meant or designed to be solo AT ALL.
I get it though. I often don't have friends to play with. I think a better solution than adding a whole new mode to dilute the playerbase, would be to improve SBMM. It get's tiring playing with randoms when there's a premade squad of 3 on the server wiping everyone. I think if you're in a pre-made squad, you should be matched with other pre-made squads. If if you're a solo that has que'd with other randoms, then your server should be full of randoms as well.
