Personally I would love to be able to play solo myself, I also have a group of friends that would be perfect for 4 man squads.
I do not understand why 3 man squads is the only thing in this game, it literally forces people who enjoy playing solo to do their thing and if leaving their two other teammates behind. And if you are a group of 4 friends, you have to either leave one friend out or split into twos and get a random per squad, which again is no fun and there will be no synergy with the last random
I played a game a few days ago where this exact thing happened - a guy ran off by himself and started to trashtalk us other two teammates cus we didnt follow him as he wanted, and he kept saying "I always do this" so why not let us choose whether we want to solo, duo, 3 man or 4man?
Yeah, the game has mechanics built in for team work and some Legends would be more used in solos for example than others, but that's just how it is. As long as the main focus on balance is around 3man squads or whatever Respawn wants to focus the balance around, what really is the issue? The playerbase would be split? Queue times longer?
I think people wouldn't mind these negatives as long as they get to have fun without dealing with random stuff all the time. Would be neat to see if this could be done.

Just imagine. Playing solo. 60 people around you. Every other house you stumble is filled with caustic barrels, taking you 20 % of health in start. Zone shrinks, all survived caustics move to next house. Let the best caustic wins!
