Cant get into a game due to few players in queue

Hi,

I can usually load into the main screen just fine when playing Apex Legends, the problem comes when i try to actually find a game .

Whenever i try and get into one, it will say there's only 2-3 players in queue and will never put me in a game, even if i wait 30 minutes.

When i play with my friends i have to make them the party leader because i can never find a game. 

I've tried going on around 6 different servers but always have the same problems.

I really enjoy this game but i can never play it unless i have someone playing with me! 

Thank you.
