Some arguments against solo game mode
by DoYaSeeMeOriginal Post
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 significant changes that may affect the dna of Apex Legends. Here we go:
- Map is too small, also the way it's divided into areas and the layout of the terrain doesn't work well for this mode. There wouldn't be any time to loot, and the player that drops on high ground and gets a sniper rifle or even grenades would easily steal many kills from the brawl below.
- The loot is not spread evenly and not enough for solo playing. Hotzone would be removed
- No more team work, like pushing, flanking, calling shots, cover fire, sniper support, sharing loot, watching for enemies, combining abilities, etc.. A lot of fun would be taken out of the game in this mode, leaving the player the option to push or be pushed by the ring.
- Legends are not balanced for 1 vs 1, their hit boxes and abilities are not equal. Caustic has a higher chance of winning fist fights at the beginning, especially when also using gas traps in closed spaces, while he's an easy target from distance. Pathfinder can reach places other legends can't . Lifeline's care package puts her at risk as she no longer has teammates to watch the surroundings. Bangalore and Gibraltar's bombings give them a serious advantage.
- Ping system, reviving and respawning, which I'd say are important parts of this game's dna, would go down the drain.
- Most of the current voice lines, which add a lot of flavor to the legends personality, would go down the drain as well.
- Just imagine 50-100 players using the same legend and popping their abilities at the same time, or in the same place...
Feel free to rant or add

People who are against solo overlook one thing. You can still keep playing squads. No one will force you to play solos. As someone who REALLY wants solos, I can live with these “issues” you point out (even though half of them aren’t real issues to begin with )
