Apex Legends developer hints at solo queuing changes Respawn EntertainmentEric Hewitt, Senior Systems Designer at Respawn Entertainment, has responded to a fan\u2019s concern about solo queuing in Apex Legends, hinting at possible adjustments coming in the future. Since its February 2019 release, developers Respawn Entertainment have worked hard to shake up the battle royale formula in order to keep their game fresh. This has involved the regular addition of limited-time modes, as well as adding a brand new map for Season 3. Despite this, one main complaint has been the limitation of trios as the game\u2019s default mode. We have seen Solos added, but only as limited-time events. Respawn recently confirmed that Duos will be added permanently as part of Bloodhound\u2019s Town Takeover. The issue of \u2018solo queuing\u2019 became so great for one Apex Legends fan that they decided to message a developer about their concerns. They then shared the exchange on Reddit on April 2. \u201cI messaged an Apex developer,\u201d the individual said, \u201cabout solo queuing being one of the biggest issues in Apex and he replied almost instantly. Don\u2019t ever tell me the devs don\u2019t care about this game.\u201d The player messaged Eric Hewitt, stating that solo queuing is \u201cthe only issue\u201d left in Apex, explaining that it\u2019s \u201cvery hard for the above-average player\u201d. In response, Hewitt said that Respawn \u201chave some ideas\u201d on how they\u2019re going to tackle the user\u2019s concerns. He also expressed his gratitude for the user\u2019s kind words. As the game\u2019s default mode is trios, those searching for matches as solos are often partnered with random players, with whom they may not be able to communicate. Similarly, above-average players may struggle to find teammates who are of a similar skill level and become frustrated with teammates dying or failing to support them sufficiently. It\u2019s either that, or spawn in by yourself and try and take down trios. Hewitt\u2019s prompt response was praised, with many taking it as reflective of the wider hard work Respawn have put into maintaining their battle royale.
