honestly is it wasn't for aim assist it would be the best mode , but playing non stop against cheaters and aim assisted players in solo is ruining the experience.

@Asmodeus566solos mode and that article are yet another good example of how Respawn tries to cater to the wrong audience.
If they really didnt like to do solos mode, why spend time and effort in doing it "half bottom'd" without addressing the issues that will make it fail 100% ... just to proof a point ?!? That time and money would have been better spend on fixing bespoken issues (Matchmaking, Aim Assist, ect ... and in case of SoloMode : Adjusted Legend Balance).
From what i read over the past years on THIS forum (and i bet ppl over here are way more dedicated to Apex than your typical twitter/reddit troll) ... only a handful of people wanted the Solos mode (me excluded, Apex is a BR Team game ... when i want to play solo i better boot up a real AFPS game like the Quake Series or alike) ...
A long time major issue players on this board pointed out wont be touched with a 10 foot pole ... the way Apex is assembling teams for the SoloQueue , matching up beginners with veteran players will lead to frustration for both parties ... and fuel the speculation of a rigged MM (hence my name)
Also the unbalanced AimAssist was only acknowledged years after a lot of MnK players left the game for good with the statement it would take years to balance it right ... so why not give MnK players the option to optout like the console players got there optout from the start of Crossplay ? Would have been an easy fix, likely would have prevented players leaving the game and spared us those endless discussions on that topic. The queue times would have not been an issue , ppl that dislike playing against assisted players would have gladly waited a few minutes just to get a quality game instead of quantity- Asmodeus5661 year agoHero+
I do not think it is a case of catering to the wrong audience.
I think it is/was a case of enough people wanting it back and EA/Respawn finally deciding lets give it a go and see if it works this time around.
I was not fond of Solo's the first time around because of the blatant "Teaming" etc.
That is why I have been against it coming back, to much Cheating and Teaming.
However I was not against it coming back as an LTM so that EA could get more data and see how and if it works as a mode that is good for the game and the company.
If EA could get a handle on all of the "Teamers" in Solo mode and get a better handle on cheaters in general it could be a perfectly good mode. I just do not see that happening since it happens in Ranked Trios as well.

Yes all according to their plan

As mentioned before there is cheating & teaming in regular BR. So what difference does it make? I'd rather they fix these issues & keep the mode!
- hayhor1 year agoHero@Asmodeus566 Lol that article is horrendous click bait. It has no current statement from the devs about solos success or failure. It takes from a couple reddit posters but if you look at the reddit about the regular trios mode you'll find the exact same complaints.
