"I bet if solos did come, the complaints on here would come thick and fast as to legend balance, loot balance and how slow mid game is and the ring... the list carries on"
Spot on!

I think Duos at least would be good. When i'm playing with my friend the 3rd player always stays behind slow looting or he doesn't follow us or goes alone to another location and just dies or dies because he stayed behind alone far away so we are not going back to save him.
3rd player might also disconnect or doesn't wait to be respawned and again leaves game.
We are at a disadvantage against 3 player squads.
This is happening in every match i'm not kidding you.
Maybe in 10-15 matches we might find one who can keep up with us and doesn't quit and then invite him to be full squad.
You can't always have a premade squad and just play at a disadvantage.

"hing is I said 'cater to as much as possible' and not 'cater to as much as possible, while going for another demographic/group'. Apex already has it's foundation and fanbase"
Exactly, which is team oriented. No solos, no Duos. Teams.
So the demographic is already in place and as you say, extending it to Solos is catering to another demographic. Which is exactly as trying to get a steak in a vegan restaurant.
"but ppl don't want hundreds of hours dealing with bad teammates"
That is the point, isn't it? To be able to find the right team mates, you have to put in effort. Some people are just not socially equipped for that. It is not their fault, and it is not a bad thing necessarily. It is a different take. They are better suited to play games that offer that feature. Nevertheless, those people's characteristics are exactly what makes them bad team mates despite having good skills. The issue is, they think to be the only ones who understand the game, and relentlessly walk from a defeat to a defeat by banging their heads against the same issue. The game does not have to change for a small portion of people. There is nothing wrong with playing another game, and there is nothing wrong with not having solos in Apex.
Why do you bother posting here when there are plenty of other threads where you can just get like minded people to talk to?
I am not gonna change my mind. I believe that going Solos is a mistake.

Duos have absolutely no purpose has it keeps being a group based game with a one person missing. So it would have no difference from the current mode.
Solos cater mostly to persons who do not enjoy the social aspect of the game. Or, from what i gather from other forums, people who think that team-mates quitting upon death are dramatically skewing their game. Or worse, IMO, to players that believe to be so much better than anyone else that attribute each of their failures to others.
In addition, we already have so many other BR games offering solos. If a person does not really enjoy teams, then that person can definitely turn to other BRs. The game has been out for a few months and i believe that those who did not enjoy the game have already left. Apex does not have to be for everyone. What would be the point of adding Watson and then take the game towards the "single player" mode?
holy crap, YOU DONT HAVE TO PLAY SOLOS Jesus, how hard is that for you to understand? Adding solos will literally hurt no one. There are a fair amount of people who prefer Squads, and will continue to play it. Hell, even I like playing sin squads, but every so often I’d love a good solo match.

The way I see it... yeah, it might. People have pointed out that in order to make solos work in a sensible way Respawn would need to make certain adjustements to the game. Right now we have a situation of some people vocally complaining about a lack of a more steady flow of new content for the game.
Solos would mean adjusting old and new content for the different mode. That'd mean extra work for Respawn, and could result in a) really just more work for the team (and they seem to try to keep a somewhat worker-friendly balance) or b) an overall slowed down output of content in the future, including for the squad-based mode the game is entirely built around atm.

I think the only way that solos would work is in a limited time special game mode. Something that doesn't change the identity of Apex Legends from a team based game into just another Fortnite clone.
People can play it when it's around but the main game is still squad Apex.
