Are some of you really that dumb to not know why this game is a 3 man Squad game? It's a TEAM BASED Hero Battle Royal shooter.
I know you guys are used to other BR games having a solo or duo queue but this game is more like OverWatch.
***Playing in Solos will literally remove some of the mechanics of the game and make some of the hero abilities obsolete***
If you don't want to play with other people you technically don't have to. Just don't say anything or drop down alone, but you will be at a serious disadvantage.
Also there are other BR games that you can play that has a solo queue. Lets allow this game to find it's own niche instead of you all try to change and make like other BR games.... geesh the game has literally been out two days.
And lets say if they did make a Solos/duo mode.. how in the hell would they balance it?

Solo's is a no brainer for Apex Legends, would improve the overall experience tenfold. The one big problem with Solo is that certain characters would become overpowered. The simple solution to this problem is to turn off hero's special abilities for solo. We've a big portion of the community asking for Solo, let's see if Respawn listen to the community.

I disagree that the game absolutely needs solos and I really think it was built from the ground up to be a team game. That said, I don't see the harm in them adding in solo queue.
Is it really that hard to deal with randoms though? Most people I run into are pretty nice and helpful. Definitely a lot of fresh noobs but we kind of all are right now. If your teammates are really bad and you aren't able to carry you just die and move on to the next match. Not that difficult to deal with imo...

@firebird-gabr1eL Listen to yourself.. In order to enjoy the game you are forced to go talk and make friends with randoms in your game.. Sometimes you just want to play solo. Sometimes you dont feel like having some random bot on your team that doesnt want to communicate. SOMETIMES you get that player in your squad that just wants to run solo and leaves you and your buddy to finish the game 2 against 3.. What would it hurt putting solos in? Or Duos? It wouldnt hurt anything.. You would still need to work as a team in duos just as much as trio. People like you are annoying to all hell.

While I think the decision to launch the game with 3-man squads was a great idea, I also would like to duo queue (as well as larger squads) in the future. I would not consider this a high priority, however.

What? Why do I have to talk to randoms/strangers? First of all, every friend you have once was a stranger to you. Second of all, I have friends to play with. They were strangers but years ago we started playing together and now we are friends. And even when we have a random in our squad we try to be nice and communicate (voip, ping, chat) as well as possible.
Maybe you don't know but human beings normally do have some sort of social behavior. You should really ask yourself why you are not able to find friends and cooperate with others. This is a squad-based game. The whole idea of the abilities and mechanics is that they should complete each other.
No one's forcing you to talk to randoms. You don't have to play this game. You can go solo in PUBG. Have fun there. Introducing solo/duo would destroy the whole idea behind this game and splitting the community. Do you also ask for solo mode in Overwatach or League of Legends?
My advice to you. Go ingame and play matches. If you find good mates (equal skill level, good communication) add them as a friend, find a discord server and play with them together or go and find a clan. If you're not able to do so look for a good psychiatrist (because something's wrong with you) or live your sad and lonesome life and play PUBG.

Some people don't want the same things as you. That's the way the world is. Grow up. Btw, you're arguing is pointless because the team has already mentioned that they're going to add this. Haha.
In an interview with VG247, design director Mackey McCandlish elaborated on the idea behind squads-only combat:
“We were looking for social opportunities. That’s manifested in this game’s three-man squads, pinging a smart comms system that helps squads coordinate, and respawn chambers keep squads playing. In the same way that we didn’t consider any of the conventions of battle royale to be sacred, we didn’t consider any one part of the Titanfall universe to be sacred.”
And now please send your link. Some people don't want the same thing? That's totally fine. This is a squad-based game. You don't like squad-based games? That's also totally fine. The developers didn't want to do a solo game mode but YOU are the one who's trying to force them into something. Your argumentation is pointless. I'm not the one who's demanding that other people have the same opinion as I do.
You're demanding from the developers to change their opinion/idea behind this game. Knock down/reviving/respawning mechanics is totally squad based. The abilities are squad based. The developers didn't want the same thing as you do. That's the way the world is. Grow up.
