I don't get why solo/duo queue isn't a permanent thing in Apex Legends yet. I'm often only playing with my duo partner and honestly, there are about a million reasons as to why solo/duo queue should be a permanent thing in both casual and ranked.
First of all, most players don't have two other people to play with all the time and playing with a "random" can be quite infuriating.
Most people either don't have a mic or don't want to use it. (I would say about 90% or more in casual games)
But even when people do use voice the voicechat in Apex is so bad I can't even hear them half of the time,
the volume is super low so even though i've set mine to max I can't hear most people in voice, the quality is also pretty bad compared to other competitive games.
Second, when most players try to do their daily/weekly challenges it can ruin the entire game. Let's say they pick Crypto or some legend they're not playing normally ONLY because of the challenge and then they drop in a specific spot only because of that challenge and pick up certain weapons etc. JUST because of the challenge. Then the team is split between trying to win and trying to do some challenges. This ruins the experience for anyone just trying to play the game normally.
Thirdly, it's no secret that most "random" players are super egoistic when it comes to loot and don't care if some loot, let's say a golden backpack, would be better on Lifeline than on their own legend. This also cripples the team as a whole and always makes it harder to win and will most likely lose the game.
TL;DR
1. Communications with randoms is more or less non-existent other than a few spam pings when people get downed
2. You never know if random people is trying to do some challenges and therefore can't play around it and will most likely lose because of it.
3. Most random players are egoistic and will nab all the good loot no matter if it would be better on someone else in the squad.
I could go on and on but really this is an obvious thing that Respawn should have already implemented in season one. It would make the game much more competitive and fix a lot of problems currently in the game. It would also make ranked much better for reasons already mentioned.
When you're solo with two premades
Just. Do. It.

I don't mind skill based match making however I do have a problem with being focused fired. There are a lot of people that are not good but often times they get picked up after they should have been dead. My teammates go down and Leave then I'm forced to play 3x My skill Level I just have a hard time believing that that is fair.

@Cpt_SkidmarksI totally agree with you about all of that
Playing with randoms is so annoying but sorry Im one of those who just dosn’t use my mic when wearing headphones or I just use speakers without a mic all together because I don’t use it anyways (Most of the time. Can’t hear my squad anyways as you said aswell Idk if its a game issue or people are not talking loud enough or are using cheap mics)
For the challenges aspect, this is one of the main reasons I want solo mode is so I can just do my dailys/challenges without hinderring 2 other people also idk why but certain challenges I just cannot do no matter how many games I try with a team but If I just go solo for a match then I can get it done so easily...
Sorry I admit to spam pinging but thats mainly if someone is self resing next to me or If an enemy decides to do a finisher
Anyways Im all for solos/duos mainly for solos because I still don’t like being with other players but I would be fine with duos aswell because theres a 50% chance to be solo anyways and even If I was solo its alot easier 1 vs 2 instead of 1 vs 3

@Rastigani@Cpt_Skidmarks The Respawn studio said it at least one(i believe more then once) that Apex Legends will not have a solos permanently because it contradicts their general rule - apex is a team based game.

No the problem is you. The very people that cant shoot and need to team fire one dude at the same time because your trash otherwise. There is nothing fair about squads and games that have one game mode are boring. Solos and duos are in the game because the developers highlighted an idea that should bave been permanent.
