Community Admin@jdm7875 Yeah I agree, even with the update, 7 dmg is too much... gives you a smidgen more of a chance to escape maybe, but if you get caught by ring you still probably won't be able to unless you can overtake it again within a few seconds, which often isn't possible... and if you have to stop to heal forget it, you'll never make it. Medkit takes 8 seconds in which time you'll lost 60-70HP, and syringes forget it, you'll lose more HP in the time than the syrine will replace. The balloon takes 8-9 seconds to get to top which will take 3/4 of your HP before you have started to catch the ring up with the glide. If the ring catches you even with this dmg its still a death sentence much of the time.
@Vhalei No desire to get into an argument, suffice to say I have written much in this thread already explaining the reasons I believe this change is negative. If you wish to intelligently address those points I would be happy to respond, however you haven't... you have simply imposed your own preconceptions and (somewhat convoluted) reasoning upon the situation and argued against something completely unrelated to anything I said. I personally never deliberately choose to loot outside the ring and will always get back into the play zone as fast as the game situation allows me to, and my previous comments should have made that perfectly clear (unless you didn't actually read them), so why are you expounding that as if somehow it serves as a response to anything I have said?!
Combine that with the fact that you entire comment seems to be imbued with an attitude of "Git gud you scrub" (i.e. if you're GOOD enough at Apex this change really shouldn't be a problem for you) does make me somewhat tempted to assume that you lack the maturity and perspective to actually have an intelligent debate about this issue.. that admittedly is combined with the fact that in a previous post (which I couldn't be bothered to acknowledge due to it's lack of actual substance) you actually took the time to explain the purpose of the ring to me. Do you believe that your skills and insights into the dynamics of Apex legends are so developed and nuanced compared to other players that it actually falls upon you to explain to them what the purpose of the ring is in a battle royale game?! That we're all stumbling around confusedly wondering, "whats this thing for?" without your enlightenment? lol
Again, if you'd like to propose an intelligent rebuttal to the points I made I would be more than happy to discuss them with you, however if you simply want to rant in a vaccum about unrelated issues and your mad Apex skillz, please do not tag my name in any further comments. Have a nice day.
