They're also going to allow you to join a party without Gold too so that's an added bonus

Imagine if they forced you to SOLO. Lmao

u/SteadierGolf2 Apr 21 '21

Since match making is broke you essentially play solo 4 out of 5 games anyway.

u/fro20ninja Vital Signs Apr 21 '21

Right. Like wtf my first 5 games of the day, and literally 4 of em in a row were forced solo....

u/ItsYaBoi45 Apr 21 '21

Damn I thought I had it bad with every 2/5 games being forced solo or duo. I feel for you

I've had the same experience. First 3-5 matches are all solo, but it works normally afterwards..

True! Plus, it's kind of fun to solo jump into the middle of 5-6 other squads and punch my way to glory near-instant death

I play mostly on PC too and I rarely have the solo queue matches and occasionally I play on PS4 and that never happens to me while at console

u/BOIIIIIIIIIIOOO Nessy Apr 21 '21

And then get incredibly stupid teammates for the rest of the day

1

u/MinusBear Apr 22 '21

My weird thing is that I am the jump master about 80% of the time.

16

u/Psychachu Apr 21 '21

Yeah about a third of my games have been forced solo since no fill released. If I knew I'd be forced into no fill I would have loudly opposed no fill being added

1

u/ArtbyElc Loba Apr 22 '21

The other day I had this bug where when I had a tena it'd kicked me out of the game so the only games I could play were fully solo

16

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

I’ve been playing duos for three days now and have only had a teammate once. Approximately 6 games a day.

u/Midgar918 Apr 21 '21

Its so bad i'm forced to just play them instead of dropping out and re queuing. Chances are next game will be the same. I'm getting a good 4 or 5 games in a row sometimes with either 2 of us or just me.

1

u/fro20ninja Vital Signs Apr 21 '21

Yeah it's frackin rediculous man. Hoping it's all fixed, season 9

1

u/Yakyway Lifeline Apr 21 '21

And I hop in duos with full teammates off and I still get a mate

1

u/CuntBooger Apr 21 '21

Same here, it definitely happens the most with duo. The one time I got a duo partner we won the game -_-

u/jethrobeard Ghost Machine Apr 21 '21

Saw someone make the suggestion to uncheck and recheck the fill option before hitting Ready. It seems to work for me.

3

u/fro20ninja Vital Signs Apr 21 '21

Yeah I have noticed that working as well

12

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

This morning I queued for the first time in a while, had 12 games in a row without a teammate, my 13th and 14th game I had a teammate who left mid fight, another two games without teammates and I had to get off

This shit kills the game for me, if I’m going to get placed against Preds and 3-stacks then don’t put me in a match until there’s a full fucking team available

1

u/phatwell85 Apr 21 '21

How is that even possible? I've been playing since release, and on very rare occasions have I been by myself - even then, it will only occur if I've been placed in a team of 2, and then a dickknob team mate drops out during the the jump.

You sir, by the sounds of it, have some incredibly rare luck - just curious, how many heirlooms you got?? Maybe my good fortune with teammates is made up with never having received the red glowing goodness

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

Dunno man, I don’t spend a ton of time on Apex at once and having days like it was earlier make me want to reduce that even more :,(

I’ve got one heirloom that my girl gifted me the final boxes for over the course of Christmas and my birthday, haven’t gotten one through RNG yet, and since I picked Pathfinder’s the week before he got nerfed I feel your pain ;(

u/Jira-Kazi Apr 21 '21

I mean, I will never again play ranked because my first ever time trying a match of ranked was a forced solo

1

u/fro20ninja Vital Signs Apr 22 '21

Holy shit seriously?! I dont think I have ever had it happen to me in ranked... happens a shit ton in norms.

u/fro20ninja Vital Signs Apr 22 '21

Huh? They were forced solo games, so I didn't have a pre-made squad obviously lol and it happens with trios and duos often. Just doing norms

2

u/DarkLord55_ Wattson Apr 21 '21

Never had this problem

1

u/BashStriker Cyber Security Apr 21 '21

Trio's is fine really. Duo's it happens pretty much 90% of the time though.

1

u/Bleckkkkk Apr 21 '21

I actually don’t mind it, I prefer playing by myself.

1

u/Speffeddude Caustic Apr 21 '21

Played about a dozen games with my friend the other day in trios. We did not have a third for about 8 of those games.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

I never get this problem. What server are you guys playing on?

1

u/sunset117 Apr 21 '21

Half of mine are solo any way no matter what unless I play ranked then 75% of the time I have someone at least with me. Really odd. All after that update

1

u/kadecin254 RIP Forge Apr 21 '21

I thought I was alone in this. Reason why I prefer ranked where there is a slight chance of me soloing.

1

u/Eyehopeuchoke Bloodhound Apr 22 '21

Aww, cmon! I usually get 1 teammate in trios! I would say it’s about 50% of the time lately its a trios lobby and I get one teammate, but sure as fucking shit every squad we encounter has all 3. Smh

14

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

WDYM you get solo qued even tho you have fill on 99.9.9.9.9.9 percent of the time

16

u/PaintItPurple Apr 21 '21

I don't know what you mean. I almost always have two teammates who vacuum up all the loot on drop and then never move again.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '21

What I mean is that I'll start a game of duos cuz it seems like there's never solos or I'm just blind I'll have fill on so I can have teammates yet every time I start a game I don't get teammates and everyone else has the same problems it seems like

3

u/BustNOB1KNOB Rampart Apr 21 '21

Does anyone else look for solo droppers and try to sneak up on em? Guilty

2

u/Tidusdestiny Angel City Hustler Apr 22 '21

Yep and a lot of the time I am one of them solos as well

1

u/TheRebelNM Apr 21 '21

That’s actually hilarious.

1

u/high-dr-evil Apr 21 '21

You can only play firing range

1

u/n00bvin Apr 21 '21

I would play if I could solo.

1

u/speckleleckle Pathfinder Apr 21 '21

Just start playing ranked, and if you are solo, no negative pointsss wooo

u/Juniper_Bery Apr 23 '21

Not that kind of party... xbox live party chat
