Increased ring damage ruining Apex
So I wrote about this same subject in the elite mode and now I have to bring it up regarding normal Apex. In my opinion the increased ring damage is ruining the game, it is certainly spoiling my expe...

@DalepeopleIf the ring isn’t meant to be a legitimate threat, then it should just be removed altogether. Doesn’t matter, I’ll adapt to whatever the circumstances are. Like I said, some struggle with this sort of thing.
I disagree - the point of the ring is to bring people closer together on the map as the # of people in the game diminishes. Otherwise the game never ends. So the ring has a purpose - but that purpose shouldn't be to eliminate teams.
We won a game last night because the ring eliminated all the other teams. No final gun fight, no action. Nothing fun about winning like that.
We also lost 2 games where we had a player down and tried to revive him, only to have the ring overtake us before we could get back into the final fight. Out of the 5 games I played last night, 3 were decided by ring damage. I'm not sure how anyone can defend that as being good game design.
The ring is a constant threat you have to take into consideration constantly. Make a mistake with it and you are gone, its the same for everybody so its a level playing field.
I got caught with a small ring being on 2 sides of a mountain, with 4 squads left and had to make a choice. I made the wrong choice, but got killed by the other squad who had also made the same wrong choice, they promptly passed away too. So be it!

It amazing how some people don’t get this.
I like the ring damage now. And ‘camping’ outside the ring is only effective is for some reason you were ignoring that people can be outside the ring. Was never even an issue after 2nd ring.
its a damage ring not a wall. Maybe it should be a wall? Doesn’t matter to me more ring damage is better.
I agree. Sometimes I cannot even outrun the ring, not even when I holster the weapon.
Also, I have seen many people camping just inside the zone, waiting for other players still in the storm to come at them. I killed 4 that way too, and I am still a noob in this game. Just saying.
The ring is beyond special at this point, Every single game im trying to run through circle 2 well beyond half way across the damn map. I have to carry 12 sryn just to be able to make it to circle in round 2 and med kits. I have burned through one game 16 sryng and 4 med kits before i finally was able to make it into the ring. The damage is not so much the problem its the distance at which ring 2 closes on.
