[Community] Mixed Reactions to Ranked Solo Queue Announcement
• Solo players support it, believe it will make ranked more balanced
• Squad players are frustrated that they can’t play with friends past Diamond
• "Half of Diamond will leave the game" according to community predictions
• “Players who relied on being carried to reach high ranks will be filtered out, highlighting the genuinely skilled ones.”

@GoyBeamBlocker @xThyQueen Erm sir you are playing with 2 other players aka “a team”
English
@xThyQueen only game that doesnt let you play competitive team based game with your friends (aka a team)
English
The amount of people crying about the solo change for those weeks is actually crazy.
Pubs. Mixtape. Wildcard are all options to play with friends. And if you don't wanna play them. Then you actually don't like the game imo. Like why do you have to play ranked? Why?
English
@TTVdookiepox @xThyQueen The game is built around trios yeah. Now let me ask you something, arent you playing with 2 other players? Isn’t that a trio? I think you where spoon fed by EA thinking competitive should be casual
English
So it's fair that people who may have spent hundreds of dollars on this game or more over the years all of a sudden can't play with their friends in ranked? You don't think there's anything weird that a game that's built around trios and the higher levels you're not allowed to play with people you know? I don't even like ranked because it's boring and pointless but this seems like a pretty bad take.

@Jayflight300 @Lazy_boi34 Homie you said you wanted to “Chill” what fcking part of Competitive is “Chill”.
English
@Lazy_boi34 Why not all the solo players play pubs, make some friends they like running with, and then join ranked play?
English
I’m just here to game with my homies after work tbh. I didn’t spend $2k+ on a pc to play with some random people. I use it as a social outlet to chill with my friends and just because people are cheeks at the game i can’t play with them? GG

CONFIRMED: Ranked will be “solo queue only” for Diamond, Masters & Apex Predator players from June 9 - June 23. • No premade squads allowed • Yesterday’s in-game message was sent in error
English
@DrKoWN_ @HYPERMYSTx Bro says they will kill the game for just 2 weeks, if the game hasn’t been killed in the last 29 seasons this is not going to kill it lol
English
@HYPERMYSTx They will either kill the game with this change or reverse the decision.
English
@NICKMERCS @Alliance_Hakis No shit you don't want it. You're boosted as fuck and play like a gold player.
English
Solo queue is amazing and 100% needed for the game to fix the power imbalance at the highest ranks so we can finally got some quality gameplay in Ranked.
But Diamond should NOT be forced to solo queue, it should be only Master & Apex Pred that should be solo and then they should also only matchmake with eachother.
By making Diamond solo Queue with master and pred the power imbalance doesn't get "fixed" it just becomes RNG.
Everytime you queue up if you get diamond players on your team as an Apex Predator you are just creating frustration and animosity and the game is going to turn extremely toxic which is not the point of adding solo queue.
Allow Diamonds to 3 stack, make Master & Pred solo queue and then let them only matchmake with eachother and I promise that the quality of Ranked is going to be insanely good while also keeping a positive and healthy environment 👍

Diamond, Masters, and Apex Predator players can now only solo queue in Apex Legends ‼️
English
@ZeusOfAimAssist 30% of the player base should be in plat not Diamond. Or they could add another rank before masters. Like Emerald.
English
Watching all the 3 stack dependent boosted preds RP plummet will be funny, will take individual skill and good IGL skills to gain in this system
But honestly should have left diamond players out of this as it’s still a mostly casual rank that over 30% of the player base hit

📋TESTING: From June 9th to June 23rd we will be conducting the following test in Ranked: Ranked will be solo queue only for all players Diamond and above. If you are Diamond or higher, you will not be able to squad up as a premade in Ranked. Our hypotheses are that this will create more evenly matched high-skill lobbies, reduce hard-carries into Diamond, Master and Predator and build trust in the overall fairness of these matches. While this is a commonly requested feature by portions of our community, we will be closely monitoring community sentiment and match data. Note: The in-game notification that some encountered yesterday (May 19th) was a visual error, and players are currently still able to squad up without restrictions.

@HybridUn1verse @ApexLiveComms Play pubs, ranked is for competitive players only
English
@ApexLiveComms So basically can’t play the game with friends after work because you fucking losers can’t control cheating…. #Stupididea

@ApexLiveComms Ggs game killed once again. People can’t play with friends anymore whats the point of playing. Just being punished for being good. People who cope about dying to 3 stack preds/pros are just shit. Get better at the game by dying like everyone else did. Learn and improve from dying
English
@PanicApexx Aight bro stop rage baiting, the last post you put on twitter was you being placed with 2 plats.
English
Can’t wait for the solo queue system to come out and the same people will get pred and all the plats/diamonds will stay there or lower & finally stop complaining about 3 stacks as if they don’t just suck at the game 😭😭😭🫵🫵🫵 SOLO QUEUING ISNT HARD YOU JUST SUCK
English
@Cristian_ColdAI @HYPERMYSTx I get all yalls point who agree on this, but this is just a way telling the player base ”we are too lazy to fix all other issues with the matchmaking and the cheating player base and boosters so we are taking an easy way out”
English
The solo-queue message appears briefly, then disappears after restarting the game or rebuilding the squad
Suggesting the Devs still haven’t decided whether to release it.
HYPERMYST@HYPERMYSTx
Diamond, Masters, and Apex Predator players can now only solo queue in Apex Legends ‼️
English
@bams16123 @HYPERMYSTx Yes Apex has 3 players in a team and Valorant has 5. If you do the math 2/5 and 1/3 is the same thing.
English
@Alliance_Hakis Honestly agree that Diamonds shouldn’t be forced to solo Q. But Masters/Preds should.
English
@leddmd @HYPERMYSTx Also this change will stop Boosters and have faster queue times. Which will give Pred spots to people who actually deserve it. How I see this is that at Master/Pred lobbies most if not all teams will have atleast a Master or Pred player in it. Some can have 2+ and so on.
English
@leddmd @HYPERMYSTx Not speaking out of my ass, I have 6k hours in this game. Have multiple Preds and have played in the most competitive seasons of Apex Legends (Season 13). If you think Apex ranked is competitive as a pred 3 stack idk what to tell you. Comp shouldn’t feel like a pubs game.
