Solo's Mode, The Good, Bad or Ugly S21 Thread
Ok Legends only a few hours to go, lets share are experiences here about:
What many have been craving to come back or have: The Solo game mode.
Well, well, well…looks like Solos is coming back ...
Forum Discussion
I tried it out for like 3 rounds here's my take.
The Good:
It was nice to have a second chance at respawn. Though having 2 tries, probably wouldn't slow things down too much and still be interesting. Especially when the time to find a game, feels longer than trios or ranked for some reason. Being kicked out after a single death means feeling like ages in loading.
Finding Blue weapons on the ground already kitted was pretty cool.
The Ugly:
The 50m warning was kinda cool. But it also prevented you from flanking or getting close without high alert enemies. Decent system but also prevented any sort of stealth gameplay you'd see in other game modes.
The respawn system lets people land on you, making it hard to fight back.
Non-movement legends have it really hard.
The Bad:
Every player I fought except 1, tap strafed and wall jumped. Wished I had controllers godlike aim assist that everyone complains about, because this mode seriously needs it. *eyeroll*
Spent half the time running in an empty map because apparently everyone hot drops in the same places. - could literally do away with the drop ship at start, and drop 3-5/10 people above each zone as if "spawning above that POI specifically", then if killed give an option to drop at the same or change to another within the ring via the respawn system..
@B0rUs1. i would rather have no respawn than 2. kind of kills the vibe of having to be carefull all the time, thats one thing why people hotdrop that much, having a good golden weapon with 1 life less is better than having a grey/blue weapon but n extra live that doesnt work in the end anyways
2. same with the warning system. if people want to camp/tactical wait somewhere, so be it, thats the origin of a br and i like it that way
3. stop blaming the aimassist for everything. full team of mnk players just won algs, so it cant be that bad. just because tsm controller team dominated for a time doesnt make controller aimassist thousend times stronger than mnk. problem is the matchmaking, having sweaty preds and masters in EVERY lobby with rookies and bronze in the same one is just unfair, especially if said preds and masters rely on colluding with one another.... its just stupid
and i dont know what it is about queue times, for me on xbox i get instant invite every time, never had to wait
i really love that we have a solos mode, with new rules or not, i dont care, i want it to be permanent but not replacing duos, WORST DECISION EVER, friend and i are so disappointed that we dont play apex when we are both online, just solo when one isnt online... its sad and stupid to ruin the game for 2 friends who are playing together all the time,
3. Tbh I wasn't complaining about aim assist. I said their movement "tech" made me wish I had it. It wasn't anything negative about the aim assist being bad or overpowered. I've played console before, it's not amazing but it's not terrible and it hasn't felt like it has really helped me outside like 10m engagements, and even then only with hip spray on a 99 and only a handful of times. I just really hate someone jumping off a wall and over my head with a peacekeeper, or jumping off a wall and sliding 10m and doing some weird movement jiggle back and forth making it really hard to hit them. Or was jumping then slide bouncing with forward on a scroll wheel around a corner.
TBH I'm surprised it took mnk to win after so long, considering they can just bunny hop around console all day.
It's hard to accept people are better than you. Solos really let's you know where you stand.
I love this mode.
After Reject won, quite a lot of people projected that Aim Assist fanatics will use that win to talk the effect of the assist down , and here we are !
You cant compare that top notch team effort in a competitive setting in Trios with a brainless pub hot-drop solo mode that mostly boils down to a close combat in which controller players get the assisted advantage.
After countless clips proving it unbalanced, even the Respawn devs had to admit that they aren't happy with it :
