@GH0STEDbyME I doubt it. People've been asking for solos since the game started, and I mean LITERALLY since the game started. There was a thread posted on here a day after or the day of launch asking for it.
The devs just ignore it because they believe their vision of how the game should be played is more important than what a portion of their player-base wants. IF it was an insignificant portion of people statistically for an obscure request, then yeah not putting in whatever they're asking for would make sense. But the Iron Crown event was extremely popular, even with the lootbox controversy, and that's reason enough to put in solos permanently. Not to mention the added benefits of re-attracting players who've quit due to the lack of solos and frustrating SBMM. Even then, most if not all major BR games (Fortnite, PUBG, Cuisine Royale, Warzone) has solos too, so why doesn't Apex? People spout the line, "Its a team game" but next to nothing about Apex broke when solos was introduced with the Iron Crown event, and the developers have even said that Apex itself is 80% about gun-play, and 20% about the characters, meaning if they really wanted to, they could've put in a character-less solos mode for people without much overall loss.
It just rolls back around to the devs thinking their vision of how the game should be played is more important than what a large portion of their player-base wants. We've seen how well their "vision" plays with the S6 shield changes and with the crafting system. I'd love to see how the devs actually play their game, if they can even play well at all. I saw one dev say on Twitter, "Yeah we play our game, every night I get matched up against Predators.", and I was just wondering, "Are you matched against Predators because you're Predator level, or because you play so poorly your matchmaking system decided to tack you onto a high skill player for an 'easy win'?"
