Solo mode has brought life to this game, in a ton of different ways.
Respawn's revenue and players counts are up significantly across the board, thus giving the devs more money and time to work on issues with the game.
Solo mode offers players a mode to showcase their talents as a player.
Players have the chance to play as individuals, not having to depend on already seasoned players carrying them, leaving literally no room to improve as a player.
Players no long have to wonder if there going to be matched with a good squad, a bad squad, or be left by themselves to fight teams of 3 because there so called teammates decided they just wanted to duo.
Players now have somewhere to train against real opponents, hone in on their skills as a player, and really get to know a legend in and out so they can incorporate that into team based play.
Players do not have to worry about being critized for their gameplay, or having to apologize for not being very skilled, considering it takes time and practice in any online shooter to increase your skill set as a player.
Players now have the freedom to try different weapons to see what best fits their play style, so they can incorporate that into team based play, without being critized by their squad.
Players now have the freedom to learn kings canyon, hot spots, good loot spots, best spots for them to drop in, and just generally getting to know the map better so they can incorporate that into team based play.
By not adding solo mode to apex, the game stays boring and has really nothing to offer but team based play. In essence the community will never grow, keeping it a small community of seasoned players that will run off any new players, simply because they are not good enough to compete in squads.
Adding solo mode will not only increase player base(already seen proof of this), it offers players a chance to really hone in on everything in this game before taking it to a competitive level with a squad.
I'll end with this. Solos mode will not split the community(I'm gaming on the ps4 platform and both modes are still an Instant que since release of the mode, showing no decline in interest for squads), however, it will bring in a whole new base of players that not only will compete in solo mode, but will eventually take their skills into squads to prove their worth as a teammate, in essence boosting player numbers in squads and solo modes, offering up much more variety in both player skill levels, and player strategies.
Thanks for reading my thoughts and reasons why this mode should stay.

Solo destroys the one original element of this game, which is rescuing your teammates, reviving fallen players, or respawning them. These mechanics add a whole extra layer of fun to the game. If you want to play solo, just peel off from your squad and bang, you're solo.

Wrecking a squad to play solo is better then getting a permanent solo mode... wow well done genius.. here is a better one .. don't play solo if u don't like it..
Solo is pretty good if u re bored or want to get a break with the squad stuff for a while... I agree that it should be permanent..

@Professor_Doggy So you mean, to be [Removed - CM] on a team and do whatever he want? So, it's mean you'r one of them where going to play in "sqaud" mode and after landing in completly different position where your teammates are? After die, just leave match? Yeah... I agree, why we need this solo mode...

@Professor_DoggyYou're completely ignoring the benefits this mode brings to the game, and have provided zero reasons as to why solo mode would not benefit this game.
You're not only ruining the gameplay for any squad when you break off and go solo, leaving your teammates to fend for themselves, but also ignoring your responsibility to your team.
This is why solo mode is important to this game so these tactics are not used by players in a squad based mode.
I've also noticed 95% of responses to these types of topics have been "Don't like squads go play another game" or "ignore your responsibility as a teammate in squad mode and go solo". Well, players that want this mode could easily say... "Don't like solo? Go play squads."

When I learned about Solo mode, I was instantly downloading the game again. I had given up on this game and uninstalled it.
And then I learned about it being temporary.
And the even worse loot box cash grab.
Now it sits on hold, waiting for Respawn to wake up.

It's definitely fun. They probably are going to keep this mode in one way or another. We are basically play testing it for them. They did the same thing with elite mode as well remember? It would be nice if legends had solo abilities that were different from their team abilities. That way it wouldn't just be the Pathfinder show, featuring Wraith and Octane, with a special guest appearance by Mirage.

I was being sarcastic, guess that flew over your head. No one likes squaddies who peel off. I would prefer if they spent their dev time on making squad play better. I think if someone really wants to play a solo game they have literally thousands of options.
