@bosourd then congratulations, if you were able to wipe out teamed up solos, you stand as proof that this is not a big issue and can be overcome 🙂
Ok, you say that no one is blaming Respawn, but this is not the only post and forum where this issue is discussed. I already see people demanding bans for those, it's just a matter of time until they throw stones at devs. If it won't happen, great.
My statement was from the perspective of the victim of 3rd partying or teamed up enemies. I die the same way, shot from multiple angles or when I'm low and healing, without being able to tell if they work together or not. This solo mode is actually 1 vs 59, with the most value put on survival, so it's an ideal environment for teaming up, third partying, camping, kill stealing. You can't accuse me for teaming up in solo, I'm not a big fan of this mode and this is one reason why I prefer playing and heavily advocate for team mode, although I find establishing forms of communication and cooperation with total strangers during a match really interesting.
Actually, thinking of it more, what people may actually need is a tournament of duels. I have some ideas about this and will probably put them out in the creators corner in the following days.
Technically, it is possible for all 60 players to drop in the same area. In reality, it's enough to fight against 2-3 enemies at the same time, that have similar skills to you, to find your end with certainty. I got in a 1 vs 4-5 situation when trying to push on 2 players fighting, I tried to run away hoping they will kill each other but everyone started chasing me like they were a solid team, then they fought hard on my deathbox 🙂
I'm looking at PUBG and Fortnite to see how they addressed this issue. I found an article about a spontanoeus partnership: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8xajxp/why-a-funny-battlegrounds-strategy-could-also-get-you-banned
Hmm, where are the Apex Legends' rules of conduct? PUBG has these and they clearly address teaming up: https://www.pubg.com/rules-of-conduct/
