Circle damage increase feedback thread UPDATED June14.

@EA_Blueberry  I fail to understand how the feedback you're getting is in favor of this change. You must not be reading the same feedback that I am. Regardless of any feedback this change is bad and should be reverted. It fundamentally changes the way the game is played, limits strategies and tactics, changes the pacing of the game and makes the RNG aspects of BR games worse.

The reasoning for this change, namely that people were camping in the zone to get into Elite queue is a bad one. Its literally possible to camp INSIDE the circle or close to it avoiding all fighting to get top 5. There are plenty of places to hide where no one will find you. So are you going to start causing players to take damage if the stay in the same spot for too long now too? Sure its 'safer' to camp inside the zone but it doesnt change the fact that I can merely find someplace inside the circle to hide to achieve the same result.

Furthermore the reasoning for this change is contradictory. By saying that you dont want people to hide and camp in the zone you're  essentially saying that you want people to fight and be aggressive but this change actually ENCOURAGES people to avoid fighting. You literally have to avoid fights and constantly run away because if you stop and get caught by the zone you instantly die. If you're on you're way to the new circle and engage another team or they engage you its over, you both lose, there is nothing fun about this.

Finally this change removes strategies and all play involving the zone. You can no longer revive teammates and re position using the zone which fundamentally changes how the game is played for the worse. It also gives rise to a new kind of camping, camping the edges of new circle for FREE kills. The enemy teams running to the circle in a bad position and already at a disadvantage have to choose between running into you, likely dying, or instantly dying to the zone. It also exacerbates the issue of RNG with BR games, if you land far from the first zone you have no time to properly loot or fight and will be at a huge disadvantages against people who landed closer and got better loot because they actually have time to both loot and fight other squads.

I very much hope that the same change isnt planned for the ranked mode in Season 2, because quite frankly I wont continue playing this game if thats the case.
