Many legends abilities would be completely defunct in solos.
Knockdown shield would be useless.
Respawn beacons would be pointless.
Pinging would be pointless.
Basically all the things that separate this from any other br would be pointless.
They've designed it to be played as a team.
Also, creating playlists divides the player base, reducing the player pool on each server and increasing lag as a result.

I can understand what you're saying here but don't you think making a limited time game mode available may be a good step. Solos will make lifeline less useful... but gibralatar can still use his powers in a "solo" fashion along with caustic, pathfinder, bangalore, bloodhound, wraith, and octane. Just because one character is rendered slightly usless in this game mode doesn't mean it's not worth a shot, and this could open up different playstyles. I understand pinging, respawn beacons, and even gold shield won't be useful and they don't have to keep those in this gamemode, but personally it think the gold shield could have some use because if you fight someone and other solos jump in you may hide and rez while they fight, and yes I understand this is rare but the gold shield from my understanding gets thirsted a lot before its used so it is already inherently rare to be used. You did address that it is what makes the game different as well but the powers/abilities and pace are what really entice me in this game, plus this won't destroy their game testing this out because so many people I've played with (randoms and friends) have complained to me about how they wish there was a solo/duo mode. The gaming community may not know what is best for the game but if they just would try listening to this idea more people could stay in this game and more people could join. A lot of what I have said doesn't really address duos either, but i feel your argument doesn't go too much against it so if solos is never put in the game I can understand to an extent but if duos is never put in the game I believe people will slowly slip away from this game. (Also with dealing with servers/lag spikes- if they are able to find a way to deal with it or fix something like that in a reasonable time people will more than likely stay but all of this is assuming it will happen, and if it doesn't the player base shouldn't shrink in a giant manor for threes when adding this game mode but i believe it will pull in those who left and bring in new people)

Also I don't agree that toxicity is whats happening, and I don't know/think greed is involved. I do think though that trying this will help the game and I am only saying this because I want this game to thrive, and I would want to experince this game in a different capacity.
