Some arguments against solo game mode
Well, I know many want a solo mode, but doubt they've put much thinking into what the game would become. I decided to bring in some reasons why I don't think it would work, at least not without signi...

If y'all complain so much about how slow the updates are now, can you imagine having to wait for them to patch two different game modes? It's an endless amount of crying about a F2P game smh.
Here's a brick wall. You may find smashing your head against it a better experience than trying to explain probable issues and balancing, not to mention splitting the MMing player base that solos would create.
To some, solo's is the holy grail of perfection and fix for this game. Any counter points to say solo's wouldn't work ends up with "get good, you need to be carried" or all manner of crazy excuses.
I say there are plenty of BRs with solos. Why on earth are people not playing those games instead? Nobody seems to answer this question. If Fortnite is so good with updates every other day, why are those people not playing Fortnite instead? (Fortnite never ever appealed to me. Don't like the look of it, or the look of the gameplay). Apex had me the first time I saw it.

Yep... It's just frustrating because people who truly want solos are coming from a "good" place - they like the game enough to want to play it when they want, how they want. But the way they attack everybody is childish lol. Solos isn't an answer, it's a new outlet for disaster tbh. Just think of all the issues now x2. The cheaters now x2. The amount of complaints x2. The amount of unbalance x2. The rate of updates cut in half. Respawn would have to balance squads and solos and eventually, there would be a nerf/buff because of the amount of complaints in one mode and not the other, therefore, causing more issues in the community. Why can't people understand that Respawn needs to work out a better plan for the current game before adding stuff. If you can't juggle three things, why would you try to juggle ten? It doesn't make sense.
Some good reasons for players asking for a solo mode in Apex may be: liking the particular mechanics, the legends, the weapons, the loot, this wild frontier environment set in the Titanfall universe. A questionable reason is the game being free, which makes the solo mode a big, risky effort for minimal profit, not a wise decision.
The chance of getting bad players in your team will still be the same, it's not like you can force others into playing solo mode because you think they're bad, especially after judging them by a short instance of their gameplay.
