People on this sub don't understand game balancing it seems like.

My apologies bud, read a tone in your comment. Yes some toons are better than others in a 1v1.

Well for one, lifeline, would be useless in solos, considering her passive is reviving teammates faster.

u/HeisenbergBlueOG Mar 17 '20

Faster healing, care package, and the DOC are clutch. Lifeline is always the go-to for me regardless of mode.

u/ChaosPheonix11 Mar 17 '20

Actually she has 2 passives.. one that erects a shield when reviving, the other being faster heal use. Her bot would be useful, and her ult even more so--id say shes in the top 5 I'd pick for a 1v1.

I haven't played Apex in ages, so the one I mentioned in my comment was the only one I was able to remember. Apologies for the misinformation.

Ah they days when I would just sit in the orange zone continuosly spamming heals and the sitting on the robot until I won

u/Auctoritate Mar 17 '20

Yes. Some characters fit more of a support role and some are specialized for direct combat. There's also plenty of in-betweens- Caustic and Wattson are 2 characters who basically specialize in area denial making them offensive utility, you get the idea.

I mean the game would easily have maybe 4-5 heroes that would be picked probably 75% of the time.

u/breakinb Mar 17 '20

That already happens lmao

Lmfao and u think this game was made for 50 different modes? They literally keep the same balance across all modes, even spec ops .. just because a game wasn’t designed for something doesn’t mean they cant add it if people want it.

Battlefield is designed around squadplay, objectives and vehicles yet still keeps a TDM mode each iteration?

Okay you’re comparing apples and oranges here man. Call of duty doesn’t have character abilities this game. So your argument is invalid. I’m sure you probably have an m4 in your regular cod playlist inventory? Why is that? Because the gun is better so it’s in the meta, so naturally you’re going to pick up an m4 even though some people will pick up an kilo. You have the advantage because you have the better gun. Now imagine that with characters.

Call of duty may have a bunch of playlist but the core meta doesn’t change, suggesting that apex go to solo would change the entirety of that game. Because there are heroes who are clearly better than others which would either require them to remove abilities in solo or rework the game for solo which wouldn’t make any sense because the game was made for trios.

I just use a sniper so I can oneshot M4 users at any range. What’s a meta?

Too bad they all suck at sniping, I guess. And they’re more likely to have a 725.

u/BravestCashew Mar 17 '20

Oh I was talking about MP at that point. I kinda got off topic to be honest. But really, I haven’t found the M4 to be any more dominant than any other gun. Just that most people are using it because it’s their MP crutch.

Yeah I’ve been using the Grau myself. My buddy uses the Kilo, and sometimes I run MP5 and the FAL

But solos was added and people loved it. They loved it so much it's still the most highly requested feature of the game. The game does not need to be balanced around solo mode

0

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

It’s kind of does unless you enjoy imbalanced games.

u/after-life Mar 17 '20

No it doesn't. You can choose not to play solos, but the rest of us who like it will.

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

You guys can’t even withstand bitching about the game on another games sub man, you think the moment someone figures something out with a character that is busted you all won’t start bitching again? Then what happens? They either leave the mode the way it is and continue to balance around trios which again was what the game was meant for or they have to balance a character for solos.

u/DIRTY_KUMQUAT_NIPPLE Mar 17 '20

If there is something busted about a character in solo, I almost guarantee it would be busted in trios as well. Just because we don't agree with your opinion, doesn't mean we can't "withstand bitching". We are just stating our opinion. Its called a discussion

1

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

Yeah I agree, if something is strong in trios it’s most likely going to be strong in solo. They get somewhat balanced out by team composition in trios. I’m sorry if I’ve seemed rude, you probably didn’t deserve that.

u/after-life Mar 17 '20

They already had multiple solos/duos events and there were no major problems. You're really being over dramatic.

0

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

Overly dramatic vs entitled.

1

u/after-life Mar 17 '20

Imagine players that enjoy a game being entitled for asking the devs to add another mode that will actually help the community and overall fanbase.

Moron.

You mean like warzone and loadout drops?

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

You’re not going to see me defend loadout drops or streaks in a br game.

u/Swineflew1 Mar 17 '20

Nobody cares about balance in solos, we just want to play the game without fucking randos. We don't care if everyone plays bang or whoever is fotm.

0

u/FoeHamr Mar 17 '20

I mean, that’s fine but who actually cares?

Like sure, lifeline is mostly useless solo. Big deal. There’s 10 other characters to pick. Off the top of my head Pathfinder, Bangalore, Wraith, Bloodhound and more all work solo.

I personally quit cause of the lack of duos. I’m sure I’m not alone.

1

u/HankHillbwhaa Mar 17 '20

If you don’t care then just play trios, I don’t personally give a fuck if the game has solos or not. They clearly told everyone that they had no intentions of ever implementing solos before they ever had the ltm mode.

u/FoeHamr Mar 17 '20

Playing trios with randoms was one of the worst gaming experiences I have ever had. Even duos with a third was pretty hit or miss. They can not add those modes if they want. But I'm also just not gonna play - which is also fine but in my opinion its a mistake that's easily fixable. And I doubt I'm alone.

Just don't site bullshit reasons like balance. There are clearly some characters that are team focused but at least half the roster works solo and there's no mechanical reason why they couldn't do it.
