We should add solos battle Royale

I've been playing Apex for 3 years and I think it would be and improvement for competitive players if apex Legends were to add solos ranked and solo battle Royale. It would be a nice improvement and entertaining update for teens and all ages. Forward more it would eventful if you guys were to add tournaments for solos it would truly be competitive because it will test the player's skill against the whole map of just solos players. But of course for this you guys would have to make a smaller map and I know what you're thinking what am I thinking? I'm trying to look out for everyone's entertainment especially mine because I've been wanting solos and I know six other people that would want solos in their game too yes you guys do a great job and making sure updates are up to date and making sure it's fun for us to play and I don't know if this is controversial but I feel like a lot of people would love solos to be added. Take what you want from this discussion and forward it into the game or not but thank you for your time have a nice Happy New years.

  • I think Apex would benefit from solo mode.. and I am with you 100%

    Things to make it successful for both the company and the players.. advertise it hard. People will come out of the wood work so to speak if they even have a taste of not blaming their teammate. They would have to adjust certain abilities which might cause some headaches but it's doable. Even if they made a non ranked version of this to test it that would be cool. 

     

    I would like to hear from people who like this idea or dont and why.  

  • They'll never do it because 3stacks won't have "easy" kills, and streamers and pros will complain (plus the player base is very small now because cheaters and sweaty people have taken over the game).

    Wildcard is already massively overrun by 3stacks. Solo players in this mode have a huge problem. Does Respawn care? No.

    If you're a solo player, this game will destroy you in every way. I don't recommend it.

    I think the devs need to add everything possible to the game at this point. More modes = More players = More money for EA. 

    Respawn has added Solos to Apex on a couple of occasions. 

    The first time they added it players immediately complained about overpowered Legends and the need to balance Legends "solely" for Solos, which isn't going to happen. I'm a Wattson main and I wouldn't dare take a Controller/Support character into Solos. Why? It doesn't make sense unless you're up for the challenge. In Solos most players will play Valk, Pathfinder, Alter, Octane, Horizon, etc. (movement characters). I'm not against this type of gameplay, I just think it's best to understand how the devs are thinking. 

    Another big problem was teaming, which can't be stopped. Teaming is the biggest issue in Solos and completely ruins matches. When Solos was introduced years ago a content creator had a lobby of players meet up to use the Gibraltar and Bangalore ultimate at the same time to see what would happen. They crashed the lobby/server. The videos should be on YouTube. This is why I disagree with players having too much free will in Apex or any other video game. 

    The notion that Respawn hasn't made attempts to add Solos to Apex isn't true. The last time we had Solos was in a LTM mode and it offered it's own type of 20 kill badge, which should be the case with Wildcard; that mode should've had it's own 20 kill badge as well. 

    Lastly, with all that said I still think Solos should be in the game even if it's problematic. I think Respawn should try it as a permanent beta mode so players understand it won't be an ideal experience. Other battle royale's that have Solos don't have to deal with the hero/abilities issues, e.g. Fortnite, PUBG, Warzone, etc.

    All of the things you consider problems have been in the game since Day 1. 

    Cheaters, sweats, 3 stacks, solo queueing 

    The only difference is it's Season 27.

    I would take this deal. I am 100% for solo mode ranked or not.
