Re: Can we stop with the 2-man squads (or less) in trios, please?

@aisthebestletter Most of the full squads in ranked are not that great anyway. I tried to play tonight with randoms and just couldn't deal with them.

They'd rotate into guaranteed death. Then refuse to disengage fights and position properly. Next thing you know we are getting focus fired from 3-4 squads all of which have high ground. They are raging at me for running trying to save my RP. Uh I told them to run.. That it was bad positioning, Nope they think they are going to rambo 9 people in an open field in Platinum + lobbies.. Riiiiiiight

Fixing match-fill you'd think should be one of the easiest fixes (with virtually no cost to either) rounding off the Lobbies into multiples of 3 or 2 for trios or duos respectively.Apex's main problem has always been it's rigidness/inflexibility on having 20 squads regardless of how many players are in the lobbies.And whilst pre-made squads are unaffected by the shortage of teammates regarding the match-fill issue many of us solo-queuers are often at a disadvantage being a player down before a match even starts.Roughly a third of matches I play (3 in 10) in Trios I am resorted to play as a 2-man squad & that doesn't even take into consideration the disconnects from players when I am in a trio-squad.And even when I am starting a match a player short a majority of the time within seconds the teammate will quit the game (I don't blame them) which will always leave me to quit seconds later.
I don't know quite how they split the lobby in squads but it clearly doesn't work (or ever has worked) where I have often seen with my own eyes with the lobby count where I can be one of the 1st,2nd or 3rd players in the lobby & yet I don't get my 1st teammate until player 56,57 etc has entered the lobby.This just isn't good enough & is just another disincentive to playing the game.
