Apex Elite Circle Damage Decreased

The circle damage in Apex Elite has now been decreased but is higher than in regular Apex:

"Hey all,

This afternoon we'll be adjusting circle damage in Elite Queue. After letting the original change marinate for a couple days we agree with the feedback that the first circle damage is a bit too aggressive so we've made some adjustments. 

Around 4pm PST today, circle damage in Elite Queue will be the following:

  • First circle now does 7% damage per tick [previously this was 15%].
  • Second circle does 15% damage per tick
  • Third circle does 20% damage per tick
  • Remaining circles do 25% damage per tick.​

Thanks for the feedback on this. Let us know how it feels"

    You do see where I say as a squad right I don’t solo it and yeah there are a lot of trash can players as you call them in this game it is ridiculous. Don’t worry about dieing in first gunfight if it happens it happens I just rush in and hope they haven’t had time to get much which most of the time works out well and if it doesn’t I die my team kills them and I get respawned whenever they get to the zone

    but yeah I have cut back on my solo plays but if you play solo every game you should probably stop landing skull town every game just throwing that out there

    also your times are incorrect you are just accounting for first zone time the timer has not started when you first land and I think the first zone takes 2 mins to close so it would be safe to add another 2 mins and 30 sec to your timeframe

    FYI I don't land solo, no clue what makes you think I do, thing is, if you wipe, 2 or 3 squads, and have to respawn someone 1 or perhaps even two times, and some team swoops in because of the respawn ship, it frequently means your squad is auto-dunked to the ring, along with your attackers.

    It's not congruent to the whole idea of the "Elite" game mode, when the actual elite squads are getting slammed out by first ring for being too Elite.

    As I said before, winning = losing is a bad thing for the game.

    @Wingmannedbrou cant call it elite mode if there isn't more dmg coming in, I would even like the wingman and longbow to 1shot headshot people :D that would be fun...

  •  personally had liked the damage increase. Kinda sad they bumped it down a but. But still good in my opinion. Now you have to be more aware of the circle and can't spend too much time in there messing around.

    Don't think that dying on a arbitrary condition makes it an elite game.

    It should be an elite game because the opponents are tougher than normal games.

    Ironically the easiest win I ever had was an elite match.

    Literally 4 solo campers, 3 of them with only white armor in last 5 squads standing. We were the only squad with gear, cause all the squads who shredded everyone else on their section of the map were dunked by the ring (when first ring dealt 15 damage per tick) 

    Literally nothing about it is "elite" imo.

    untill there is no kills requirement to go higher in elite every1 will camp if devs can make kills important as a placemnt you would see way different and more agresive play stile in elite
