Why eliminating solo queue in Crucible is a bad idea
I get it, Bungie. You’re trying to consolidate the player base as much as possible to reduce matchmaking times and enhance general competitiveness.
Here’s the thing: solo players enjoy the solo queue for Iron Banner, Control, and Clash because it’s a different playing experience. We get more 1v1 duels in solo queue, instead of constantly having 2 or 3v1’s.
Constantly tilting your game towards the enjoyment of pre-made fireteams while ignoring solo players alienates a not-insignificant portion of your fan base. We get tired of feeling like an afterthought, or being treated like cannon fodder only useful to enhance the experience of stacks.
Please add solo queue back in. This isn’t the solution you’re looking for.

1 ReplyThey probably don't have a choice. They see the writing on the wall. PvP has died a very slow death since the beginning of Destiny 2. Sure, it's been slightly revived here and there, but mostly in decline. And it's simply because Destiny's version of PvP doesn't and has never worked. And now with the player base getting smaller and smaller, they simply can't afford to fraction it out. Trials will be the worst. They already aren't cracking 200k and lets be real, a lot of that number is account recovs so the actual number is even lower. I never waited so long for solo queue match times this season for Gambit. Some days I just went in the larger pool just to get my matches over with quicker. Crucible is basically turning into a mode where you either play in a team or just start to ignore it. If they ever do away with power level that and Gambit will be ghost towns.
