I 100% solo queue and am fine with it. I have about 40 S6 wins, 150 altogether. You get highs and lows ... like last night ...
LOW - Us v them. We have brilliant sniping/single fire posititon with the enemy squad below with little cover and the ring pushing them to us. Intelligent play says snipe them when you can then drop to engage when you've hit them a few times. Caustic drops to engage 1 v 3 (duh) gets downed. Rev drops to engage 1 v 3 (dub) and revive Caustic, gets downed. I snipe but it's clear I ain't gonna win the 1 v 3 so I let the ring eat me. WHY DID YOU DROP DOWN!?!
HIGH - I am put in a squad of one. By creeping and sneaking I make it to Us v Them, I am hiding in the corner of one of the new WE buildings. At one point the others (Loba and Bang) come in, have a good look around but down spot me (because I have the darkest Rev skin available - no brainer). As the penultimate ring will push me outside I sneak past them and hide behind a box. They come out and look around for me, don't spot me. Loba is in my sights and I hand her 150 damage before she even knows what is going on. She fires back but I knock her, run around another box and reload. The Bang and me engage but she had purple shields to my white and she kills me. If I had found a purple or red shield while sneaking I would have won.
LOW - Octane is JM and wants to land on the supply ship. We (Rev and Gibby) say no. Octane ignores us and heads for it. He botches the landing and we fall onto the map. He engages 1 v 3 after 30 seconds, gets knocked, and quites. Thanks.
I have played 5,000 games, mostly solo queueing and its fine. The only people I've only played with are one player who got bored of Apex four months ago and another poster on here but he only plays past midnight, and that's too late for tired old me 🙂
