another hard thing to unlearn as i've been flicking at high sensitivity since like 2004! but thanks, i'll try that
Man Im really annoyed with reddit being the biggest voice for respawns ear
They are making a bunch of stupid remarks like "dont listen to the community, we'll just ruin the game" as if devs make changes without thinking
So many are trying to get respawn NOT to add solo mode, its so weird
Like, Im 99% sure theyre working on a solo mode already

That's a surprise considering I'm level 20 and still don't have enough to even unlock Mirage
The 90s were truly the golden age of video game advertising.
I think it was data mined and a solo a duo mode was in.
A few hours ago Ninja and team were near the end and every other team alive was camping. It was pretty boring to watch.
Anne munition was just won a round and was kill leader with only 3 kills. The entire match it seemed everyone was camping.
I was just about to be like - HUH? - but thanks for the reminder of the glory days of late 90s advertising.
I joined and it showed that the XBOX LFG portion had no posts in like two days. What's up with that?
The abilities are geared toward teamplay, especially characters like Lifeline. Solo mode either means some characters are gimped in that mode or they change those team-oriented characters to be balanced for solo mode. I'd rather they just focus on making everything tuned to the team experience instead of compromising the game design to satisfy a bullet list.
Would be nice if a lot of the elite players stuck to solo :P
I main Lifeline and her care package has dropped Mastiff for me before. Not to mention it regularly drops weapon attachments. It just has a lower chance to drop offensive items than the world dropped Care Packages.
There's no worse feeling in gaming than your teammate picking the busiest spawn location on the map and you can't even find a Mozambique or P2020.
Caustic is probably my favourite Legend so far, his canisters can make flanking really difficult and used during CQC they are very powerful.
His ultimate is great for confirming kills on downed players, scaring people off or as a smokescreen while you patch yourself up.

I think I'll continue my opinion that any literal wallhack/player tracking abilities shouldn't be any game.
Huge problem in the game overall, yes. And If you did find a P2020 you might be okay (I've gotten a few kills with it) but if you get the Mozambique you are fucking screwed.
Solo mode particularly appeals to streamers and is a valuable addition to the game. Less tanking enemies, more straight forward gun fights, and more thrilling moments without the slow down of revives. It just seems obvious that theyll make a solo mode happen. The easiest thing to do would be to disable abilities and make them pick ups for everyone to use. Solo mode itself can bring in a lot of new players.
I'm convinced theyll add it, but it just seems bizarre that people are so on-edge about feedback ruining the game as if a solo mode impedes on the squad mode.
That's happened to me ... exactly once and, I was kind of flattered.
Usually people just message me to tell me I'm shit. :p
It's a testament to how good the game is that I'm still sticking with it after 10 (!) soft crashes in the past two days. Deleted and reinstalling, which I would normally never do.
Continue to run supports like Pathfinder and Lifeline.
Gibs is another one that is good because of your shield. Sounds like you used these characters a few times and got unlucky. But you'll find as you keep using them there are better ways to utilize their abilities. Remember, this isn't as ability reliant as OW or a MOBA, so find which guns are easiest for you to use and hang onto those.
Since you lack great FPS mechanical skills just be good enough to get carried and you can still contribute. I play with a friend who is ridiculous and I basically just tag along and make sure to watch each others back while they rack up the kills. Think my highest kill total in a match is 7 with like 1500 damage, but in most of my wins I don't have many and my friends are much better than me in that regard.
I use Wriath, Mirage, and haven't really found a 3rd that I like. But I am really good at using my ults to bail us out as Wraith or having teammates crawl through it for a revive and vice versa. I like leaving my teammates with a back door option or an escape route. Mirage I am really good at distracting them and throwing out decoys to bait a team so my boys can clean up. That's not to say that sometimes I do not get the job done myself, but almost all my friends that I play with are better than me. But I try to be as good of a teammate as possible to make up for it. That said, I do have a pretty decent sniper game so that helps for pinning people down.
Just don't give up because you think you suck. Whatever you are good at use that, then find a way to not let your faults get in the way.
I wouldn't be surprised if they add it but I think your suggestions on how to make it work shows why I wish they wouldn't because stuff like that just breaks the game -- in general, I don't think many players really understand the ramifications of many of their game design suggestions.
Not all games need to be the same! It's more than ok to be different! Being designed from the ground up around teamplay is, so far, what makes Apex Legends special as a Battle Royale game and I think it'd be a shame if they compromised that unique game design by caving to what some gamers think they want.
Mirage is my dude as well. Love using The Decoy from a hidden defensive position so players give away their location by firing on it. Also works bloody well in CQC e.g. one side of a box and flank with a shotgun to the other side.
If I could only get my weapons familiarity/choices down and my aim in more...

What's so lol about it? If its PC is understandable because the majority of folks outside of BF don't do MP games on Origin. People are trying to learn the flow. And it helps playing with a constant team.
At least it tells you they used it, basically telling you where they are.
LFG isn't too popular on PS4 either. I just added people to my friends list and try to join those already playing when I log in. Works pretty well!
These Twitch numbers are impressive. None of the streamers are sponsored for the tournament, right?
Yeah, I've had quite a few now and it's flattering, but I don't really add randoms, and they just all keep wanting to play if I do and I can't play with everyone since it's only 3 in a squad.
Camping the final circle is fine, especially if there are multiple squads still in play. I'm more talking about people who drop in across the map and running the opposite direction when any amount of shots are heard. So the whole match is one boring slog from the first moment.
How does it break the game? How is team play compromised when solo isnt about team play anyway? I dont think it's caving to add solo mode, and it seems more like an obvious way to expand the game's appeal.
It's clear the game is built as a team shooter, but I dont understand how adding solo hurts any of this. Imagine if PUBG started off as an FPP and FPP fans were against adding TPP as if TPP affects the game's enjoyment in FPP. Yet many people play TPP over FPP and vice versa.
If they dont actually intend to add solo, Im not trying to pressure them, I just think solo mode is obviously coming and just dont understand people pushing back on it. And if/when it does come, people are just going to look so silly for being against it, because I assume it's actually going to be a solid enjoyable mode and a mainstay for the game.
what control preset do people use on console? i have it on "linear" but i am not satisfied with it tbh
That doesn't really help ME though, because they know my exact position (if in range) and I don't know theirs.
...your suggestion was to remove abilities and make them work as pickups. The abilities are themed to characters -- so, what, now Bangalore is hearing voices in her head? Gibralter can send out decoys? Wraith can deploy gas even though she doesn't have a gas mask? They'll create all the audiovisual assets to make that work with all the different characters? It just doesn't make sense.
And some abilities like Lifeline's res shield and speed only make sense in a team. If they support multiple modes, they'll be incentivized to make all the characters and abilities viable in all the modes -- if they supported solo out of the gate, Lifeline probably wouldn't exist as she does now. But because the characters are designed around teams, Lifeline can have those abilities. Her skills are the most obvious but a lot of the abilities synergize with teammates -- that's what makes the game special!
You're just dismissing all that and suggesting it's just a feature they can add because other games have it -- what you're not realizing is what those other games decided NOT to include in order to support those features. It's not a coincidence that the game that only has team mode is also the game that has characters and abilities designed around teams.
There are solo BRs for those that want them. Gamers often ask for things that they think they want and it ends up making games worse because gamers aren't game designers. I hope that doesn't happen here.
Fine aim, I think it's called. Haven't messed with any other setting aside from that.
This is why crossplay is important, but I'm not sure if you want to play with us mouse and keyboard players.
