I believe that the introduction of solo and duo mode would allow players the opportunity to further play how they desire. If a player typically plays games solo, they will no longer need to group with others just to go play on their own. The option to play solo would actually benefit the squad based game because everyone that continues to play squads would be choosing to play as a team and not forced into it.
I am hoping to get as many votes as possible obviously. It would be good to really get a grasp on the apex community as a whole and not just the overly adamant few that think solo play will destroy the game.
Your vote: Apex needs solo mode.
