I don't know if soloing requires skill or not, but I know it does require being impervious to boredom. Hats off to all soloers out there.

I don't know. One has to have some short attention span to get bored on platinum, when two banshee are teleporting to hug you accompanied by two "pew pew" of doom by phantoms.

I mean, when I was attempting it there was hardly time to sit around and not run from the enemies.

Gold is a different story. Versus Geth it's really quiet and requires patience

I haven't done it yet, so it requires skill.

If I get around to it successfully, it will require no skill.

That seems to be the gist of this thread.  

Have you ever soloed gold with an Asari Justicar?  Because I can confirm that it requires 'no skill'.

I haven't done any solos....no wait, checking my N7HQ I did one bronze. I think for that krogan melee kills operation we had.

I don't have the patience honestly. I quit once in wave 7 or 8 of a gold solo because I was bored.

I did my Gold solos with the Asari Justicar. Just because you find it easy doesn't mean it requires skill, otherwise everyone would play platinum. If it was easy to solo platinum then it would be really easy to do it with a 4 man team. But its not so skill is necessary to do that.

Well I didn't mean "boring" as in "easy" but rather as in "it's wave 5, I'm sick of this and I want it to end already". I suppose there's plenty of people out there who genuinely enjoy soloing, but I most certainly don't.

Do solo speedruns. I promise, you won't get bored trying to finish plat solos in under 25 min.

It does get really boring around wave 8, especially if you do reapers, it ends up being a lot of running around in circles (with banshee warp balls that follow you around 3 corners too<_<.)  I sort of enjoy it as a change of pace, but I wouldn't care to do more than about one a week.

The 'no skill' comment was sarcasm.  Sorry if I didn't make that abundantly clear.  I didn't find them easy.

I dont know about you guys, but I was sweating after my first (and successful) platinum solo against cerby on firebase ghost hazard with the TGI (yes yes I know)

 Thanks to Caneighis' solo Platinum guide using the Geth Soldier, I now have the Lone Wolf banner with about 5 hours invested in it.  I had no intention of trying to get the banner until I saw his guide, because quite frankly, I'm terrible at soloing.  After watching how easy his strategy made it though, I spent the next few hours soloing gold, averaging around 40 mins per clear.  Then I tried Platinum, taking 3 attempts to clear due to being stupid with Banshees.

So, can we stop saying that Lone Wolf takes skill if you use an "easy mode" kit, and only takes what the other banners require...several hours of dedication.

Fixed.

Skill:the ability to do something well, expertise. Skill doesn't mean difficult or not it means you can do it because you can do it well and have the knowledge or (expertise) to get the job done so yes it requires S K I L L. Now is it easier for some than others sure it is and some people prefer the hardest route because fewer can do it some take the easiest route. Both end up winning the same credits and the same banner.

Banners are not indicators of skill.

Sure they are. It's just that gaming forums can't imagine a range of skill between l33t and noob.

I am the opposite. About 9 out of 10 of my games are solo.

Can we stop complaining about Lone Wolf in general yet?

Can we stop with complaining about complaining, and just go back to our regularly scheduled complaining?

How 'bout them balance changes, eh?  Oh, not out yet? *rage quit*

[Arkman279]

I'd have to say overall there are more people that recognize the lone wolf banner as a difficult thing to get you wanna say its easy ok let's see you solo platinum with a level 1 drell and only a predator pistol no equipment if its so easy to solo you should have no problem.

Go and play a game with real, thinking human opponents, and then come back and tell me this game requires skill outside of knowing how to use a mouse and basic game mechanics.

Have you solo'd gold or platinum?  Just wondering.

Yep.

Tbh, unless at high level, PvP games are mindlessly easy too. I wouldn't call 99% of the people playing in those games 'thinking' human opponents. They blindly run into your line of fire and get killed. Then you proceed to spawnkill them into oblivion.
