first storm is doing way to much damage..... ☹️…….. I get trying to get people to stop camping in the storm but you cant even land thunder and push skull after you win thunder and get in a fight there even if circle is starting line is between market and bridges

Ironically the measure against "passive" players have made everyone play way way way more passively, since nobody can afford getting into a fight anywhere outside of the next ring. Or even just to loot some better stuff.

New meta = sneak into next ring unseen ---> hide ---> repeat ---> lose to team that dropped right place and had time to loot stuff, and kill some other team.

Worst change they made to the game.

Increasing ring damage decreases map size
Decreasing map size without decreasing player count, movement speed, or audio alert range forces players to be more passive.
So instead of a few players camping outside the ring, we get lots of players camping inside the ring...
How was the result of this change not blatantly obvious?
