Can someone explain the logic behind the new round timers??????

So we dropped in Treatment with two other teams. I literally grabbed the first gun and started to fight. My two teammates died without doing 100 dmg (ofc) but I managed to kill 4 of the 6 enemies present and went back to grab their banners and then ran to the Respawn beacon.. And exactly when the drop ship arrived, the circle started to move! I mean what the? And let me remind you that I spent that entire time to fight so I had only about 40% health with NO heals left.

So sure; Respawn could defend this change that I should have started to run as soon as I respawned or even not respawn them there. Just pick up the banners and run. But how stupid and unrewarding is it to win an entire area and not even have time to heal up, let alone find some decent loot after a hard-won battle? Even if I had started to run right after I killed the last enemy, i.e not even go for my teammates banners, I would have ended up in the new circle with 40 hp, no heals and barely no ammo...... ANd yes, I know that the first circle was very unlucky but still.  Is this some kind of hidden buff to Valkyre that makes her even more important than before even after the nerf??? 

To summarize. At least give us time to fight, win and loot up the area we just won. The new round timer is stupid..

    @Littumulkero probably is better to increase time than revert dmg to old because old dmg is too weak and allows running outside the ring.

    @Palette24carats 

    So for the last time; this post has nothing to do with me dying from the circle in that particular game. Its about my general opinion, after many matches played, about the new round timer, circle damage and circle speed, which I dont like for various reasons that I mention. The image was just to illustrate how far the first circle can be by random chance.  

    You are the third guy who answer me like this, totally off-subject but focusing on the fact that I died on that screenshot even though I didnt mention me dying one time as a part of my argument. So its maybe you who should make a post since you apparently didnt even understand what this was about. Your goal is just to insult people, not to discuss the post which is just sad.

    I think tweaking the circle and rounds was a step in the right direction. I just dont think they were even close to hit the mark, based on how games usually progresses. Like I said in one of my earlier posts; I think its a balance between the size of the round 2 circle, the time until the first circle starts to move, the circle tick damage and the speed it moves. I just dont think Respawn found the right balance between these four variables.
