tldr; this game was LIT but the people making decisions are either brain dead, completely out of touch, or actively trying to destroy the game.


duos is literally the one game mode that should ALWAYS be in rotation. If the people making these decisions at Respawn don't realize that they're not just out of touch with the Apex community; they're out of touch with competitive multiplayer games in general... DW I'll break it down really simple.
first you replaced it with solos, which makes no sense cuz if you're playing with a friend, you aren't gonna be playing solos... (except for all those people teaming up and ruining your game modes...) so duos are being forced to queue trios, which creates more frustration/contempt/toxicity in the community.

you're lucky to get even just a single teammate who comms in 1 of 10 trios games, then 9 of the 10 times it happens your garbage servers start breaking, or someone ends up getting toxic, or maybe you get wiped by a hacker, or a sweaty af pred 3 stack...hell sometimes all of the above?

solo queuing duos is actually a vibe; it's so much easier to have some level of coordination than when you have 3 silent strangers with potentially completely different skill levels and playing styles not communicating. You also run into significantly fewer sweaty pred squads...and most hackers follow them around...and maybe that's why duos servers seem way less unstable? cuz they're not infested with people ABUSING your netcode to dual wield havocs that shoot head seeking frag grenades around cover while flying a trident through the air...nah i'm sure if someone did all those IMPOSSIBLE things at the same time your anti-cheat would detect it straight away and insta-ban them...or like...at least something to try and preserve the integrity of the game...

For that reason, it actually feels good to solo queue duos way more often than trios. duos fosters positivity and makes it way more likely people might actually add each other and play again- duos is the feeder mode for all other modes. excluding mixtapes for obvious reasons- i'll occasionally add someone from a mixtape but it's rare that translates to a new BR buddy. people don't play mixtapes when they're looking for the cooperative teamwork experience BR modes offer

I really liked quads on the rare occasions I had friends wanting to play at the same time, and i even had some fun running solos for a while. at least in the few games i played that didn't have blatant hackers...or people running with a 6-9-12 stacks...

It's a shame it wasn't enough to keep me and heaps of other players feeling good about your game though...I feel like had the good vibes of duos been around for all that it would have taken a decent amount of the sting out of how disastrous last season actually was.

ITS LIT FAM

best soccer sim available. even after factoring in poor graphics and lack of licensing, this game is light-years ahead of FIFA.
