I like Apex even though there have been some rocky times (Matchmaking hell in public games, not fun), a year has passed since launch I'm still playing it regularly, which is rare for me since there hasn't been a game that it have kept my interest for this long.
But with that said I've seen a drop of interest from my circle a friends, and all have valid reasons. With the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone a lot of them have try it, and like it. I played it but I wasn't crazy for it. I've played COD before, and making Battle Royale around it is not enough for me, not anymore, but credit where is due. Infiny Ward has been trying hard on getting the attention of new players and they are doing a good job. New modes have been added (Solo modes), and with potential options like 4 player squad or 5 player squad being considered in the future this has turned some heads, attracting more people, me included.
For a while I've wondered, why haven't you added a new mode yet? I'll be happy with Duos being a standard mode besides regular Apex and Ranked mode. Maybe having a fourth slot for a rotative mode, for testing new ideas or whacky mechanics since you've already been doing that in your seasonal events. If you're worrying on splitting the player base on multiple playlists, you shouldn't. Having a disinterested player base is more dangerous for the health of the game that having slow matchmaking, so please consider this. Giving more to options to play your awesome game is good thing, not a bad one, and I think a lot people feel the same. Keep the good work.

@100namesI feel like the closest thing apex will ever have to a solo mode is adding an option to select no fill in the lobby so you can drop 1 vs 3, apex is just never going to change ive basically gave up at the very least they should always have a LTM available that either changes every 3 1/2 days or every week, it can just be solos, duos, armed and dangerous, shadowfall, golden duos, golden solos, even golden trios,shadowfall, winter express, dummies big day or whatever it was, etc just something different than ranked trios every single time you log on the damn game no matter what game mode you choose everytime i log on im closer and closer to uninstalling but I need to finish the battlepass first incase they ever do add other game modes in the future
note: if golden modes are ever added to the game again they need to be 2 seperate modes for them, 1 consisting of only care package weapons like mastiff, kraber, and devotion... and another version for gold eva 8 gold triple take, gold flatline, etc because the game mode was fun but having a mastiff and kraber in every building ruined the mode because normal gold weapons were virtually useless so I would suggest to either have them in seperate modes or to decrease the ammount of care package weapons available so normal gold weapons would be the main focus of the game mode, it was fun using mastiff and krabers though which is why I suggest that as a LTM of itself
