This change is absolutely terrible in every way and should be reverted. As someone who regularly wins or reaches top 5 I dont want to even queue for Elite anymore.
Here are the reasons why this change is terrible.
1. It punishes you for dropping on the edges of the map if you have a far first circle. No time to loot or fight.
2. It forces you to avoid fights, you dont have time to fight on the way to the circle or sometimes even right after dropping.
3. It makes low mobility characters even worse, as mobility character have an advantage getting to the circle
4. It heavily rewards camping the edges of the new circle, stragglers have basically no chance, they either suicide into you or die to the zone.
5. It removes all strategies around zone play, You can no longer revive teammates outside the zone, you can no longer reposition in the zone, particularly bad if people are camping the edge, you can no longer fight in the zone at all. These strategies and flexibility is part of what make Apex fun.
6. It negatively impacts the pace of the game, everything is a rush to get to the new circle or you instantly die. This isnt fun. Apex is already one of if not the fastest paced BR games where third party and large fights are common, massively accelerating the pace with this change is stupid.
7. It makes the RNG aspects of BR even worse, a team drops close to the first circle and gets purple armors, you drop on the edge and the circle is far, you have no time to loot because the zone will instantly kill you, have fun running for 2 minutes only to get the circle and lose. Fun gameplay?
Overall this change is absolutely awful and I sincerely hope this isnt planned for the ranked mode in season 2 because if it is i wont be playing it or this game.

First Circle damage is still insane.In Some match our squad died from 1st circle.We were 5-6 seconds ahead from circle but there was no direct route to go inside the safe zone because of hill.So we had to go around the hill and we all died.This happening whenever there is no direct route to go safe zone.
