Solo queue is even worse in extraction shooters
This has been discussed of course but I want to go further than “it’s because you lose your stuff when you have bad teammates” it’s more that when I load in, I feel like I’m completely gambling on the loadout of my teammates. I may be risking high loot just to have teammates that are doing sponsored kit runs. I have spent more then 100 hours in the alpha and am higher than level 120. I don’t just want the game to live, I want it to thrive.
When I fill queue I don’t feel like risking anything more than a sponsored kit. And if there is a ranked system, teammate gambling will feel even worse. The game can survive without a solo mode but it will suffer without a good solo queue. Here was my suggestion, have matchmaking consider the loot brought into the run, with the loot in the person’s vault, then matchmake players into teams that are taking similar risks. If I load in with a sponsored kit then I am fine with my teammates being the same.
