the usual game of hyperscape has 99 players, you used to have to wait until there is enough players to start the match, but today i queued for a solos match and we started in like 10 seconds, i noticed that there were 30 players only and parts of the map were already decayed (there is no ring/storm, parts of the map just randomly disappear and would deal damage if you stepped inside them). match was pretty fun, and i played a few matches in a row with really quick queue times and the reduced amount of players didnt feel like a problem since some areas of the map weren't accessible.
i feel like something similar needs to be added to apex, if there are not enough players just start the match with 20-40 players and have the game begin at round 1 or 2, no dropship, just get dropped from the sky and into the ring, would be pretty cool and would really help with those queue times (especially in duos), what do you think ?
