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 ...

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.

Just another self-fulfilling prophecy. If the dev doesn't do anything to stop cheating then the mode will be ruined by cheaters. And somehow that's perfectly okay in mixtape, tdm, even br, but in solos all we get is an "I told you so?" What a load of garbage.
Ditto teaming. There is teaming in every single game mode in Apex and yet with solos it's somehow game-breaking so they need to take it away instead of coming up with a mechanism to prevent or punish it.
None of which I even care about because all the things they DID introduce into the mode ruined it for me on the first match and I haven't played one since. But I have to stand on principle here. They put about as much thought into this mode as I put into moon landings and the Great Wall of China. And when it all goes poorly it's because we're bad people for wanting bad things, not because they can't be bothered to anticipate the most obvious problems and do something, anything at all, to address them.

I agree with you all with this, if in fact they, EA/Respawn could fix at the minimum, the "Teaming" problem then the mode should be kept.
I might even play it again at that point.
- I've started to see the MM issues you guys mentioned more in my solos. Past few games been killed by Preds & Masters, or 20 bomb badges. It's like they have a food chain approach to their MM. Put so many little fish, mid fish & big fish in a game. So final round is most likely big fish unless someone is hiding the whole match.
- @Lord_Scorpion34 The only way I ever got to see low levels in my solos lobby- Die twice really quickly a few times in a row. Basically get 45th or worse. If you finish high every match, even with very few kills, the MM will crush you.
