Storm does over-powered damages in elite queues for apex legends

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

Yeah, I completely agree with with you. Me and my squad last game were at artillery and the ring was on bunker and knew that it a hell of a lot more damage so we moved when it hit one minute until it closed but then there’s people who just camp on the edge of the ring for others who have been caught in the storm. The storm is basically impossible to beat of your more then 30 seconds away from it

This new patch ring buff is garbage!  I get the point of it, but it's way too strong.  I just was reviving myself just outside the final ring and no one of the three teams that were fighting had any chance of surviving.  I'm guessing one little hider ws sitting in the corder of the final ring and won the game by doing NOTHING!  EA you need to figure this out!  It's ruining an otherwise cool event!

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?

We have a discussion regarding the new changes to the ring damage in Elite Queues that can be found here.
