@DoYaSeeMe The fast ring closure is something they are going to be dealing with. The devs/EA accounts were active in a discussion about the exact topic in another thread. It was not intentional, but happened because the map is larger and the ring speed was set for Kings Canyon. It’s also only bad if you’re far from the ring. For me that’s the only adjustment that’s needed with the ring. After the first ring it’s really on your squad and you to be aware of it and stay ahead of it.
Yes the game is a faster pace then PUBG. But that’s part of what makes apex legends different than other BR games. It’s not meant to be a camping game. Faster pace does not mean it’s a sweat game IMO. Sure there are rounds in which it’s sweaty and one fight after another. But I have rounds that are slow and you don’t hear/see anyone until the end of the game.

@DarthValtrexHmm, at some point I felt like the ring has generally started to move faster than at the beginning of Season 3. My feeling was that it's actually intentional, as it's pretty easy to adjust the closing speed / time formula. A very valid reason for making it so fast would be to add more pressure, to force players into better, faster decision making. It does work, many teams are looting faster and moving inside the next ring well before the next round, giving harder time to campers that wait for prey at choke points.
@hhnbbfggty66 that's psychological or emotional sweating. Actually, one of the main things I "sweat" for in Apex is to reach a point where my quick decisions are much more logical than emotional. Although I'm a very calm and patient person, I'm too tensed in the game, which leads to many mistakes like fisting instead of drawing the gun, cancelling healing or reloading by rushing, using abilities, healing, reloading at the wrong time, pushing too early or too late, overshooting, etc.. I did clean out half of my desk a few times by agitating the mouse during Apex fight and it's probably due to sweat that my fingers often slip from movement keys to ability / use keys.
@GRiPSViGiL yep. Sweaty sounds worse than hardcore, but it's kind of the same thing. And, regardless of how it sounds, it's not a bad thing. The harder you work, the tastier the reward. Just like in sports.
