What do people think about quads?
It's not bad but keeping track of everything going on in Trios is hard enough. Also feels like a similar legend meta to 3 Strikes where at least 2 healing & rezzing characters are a must.

- @Lord_Scorpion34 Yeah, it just adds complexity to what is already the most complex MMOFPS I've ever played. That makes the imbalance between most premades of cheaters & smurfs against randoms just orders of magnitude worse.
@AymCTL
"They really need an abandon penalty on this mode since it needs everyone there in order to work."
Penalties do not turn angry, frustrated players into motivated, ambitious teammates.
'if you had 4 friends all talking to each other you could come up with a powerful team, I've only played with Randoms though."
As have most of us. This is why the skill imbalances (and matchmaking imbalances) in team-based games are amplified by whether or not you can find able, like-minded squad mates. And most people can't or won't, yet the game has to be built around the handful who can.- 100%. MIXTAPE was completely unplayable without this penalty. I support implementing it in all game modes.
@HappyHourSumwur Came back after a long break, lost first game cause wuss Octane hid behind a wall instead of giving me cover to respawn our LL and Bang, so it's basically trios with a extra * to look after.
- The game mode is absolutely awesome, i have been screaming at them to stop solos or arenas, that no one cares about and start focusing on 4,5 mans. Playing with even more of your friends is fun and it inherently isnt too different from trios.
Now sure, there is a lot of extremely good premades in the lobbies and randoms are terrible, but again this has nothing to do with the mode, but simply SBMM etc.
Id love to see
quads stay
five mans be made as well
increase quads and fivemans overall playercount to 80 and 100 (so 20 squads of 4 and 5)
hell maybe even more, make it even more whacky and chaotic, it is super fun with all of your friends. Sure as randoms quads etc arent as fun, but i mean it wasnt supposed to be, to begin with, the mode is inherently made to enable people with even more friends to queue and play together and it is great at that. - @TheDarkWaver Do you only play with a full friend lobby? Just curious as I've seen nothing but complaints about the mode, mostly from solo queues.
even the FF7 event with the sword was better than the quads lmao
It's actually a good game mode that is horrible because of the apex community. Teamwork + communication is important in trios but it feels like teamwork + having a defined role is more important in Quads. There's no way for every player to have a grasp on a situation and with the number of players involved a fight can change too easily. 4 players trying to communicate on the mic is only going to make things even more confusing unless you're an established team.
It can be fun but would probably need to be a ranked game mode.
@WTF_Huitzo Nah, the sword was bs that should have been nerfed. Downing a 4 man is way better than 3 a stack melee spam "some of us already know how cause of teaming anyways".
