Can we please get back the old ring damage?
I thought that the ring damage at launch was perfect. It gave enough of an incentive for players to move to the circle, without being a mechanic that could ruin a game for you. Now it seems like ever...

Now it seems like every time I get caught outside the ring I lose 80-90% of my health (if I survive in the first place) and makes the game as a whole, just less enjoyable because I spend less time focused on where I want to go and what I want to do in my matches, and more time focused on just getting to the next ring so that I don't just die in the first thirty seconds of not running towards a little circle on my mini-map. I am just wondering if there were serious problems with the last ring damage model? Did anyone complain to have it changed? Or was this one of the "proactive" changes to try to keep players interested (I am genuinely curious because this is my first time on this forum and I didn't ever hear any complaints about the ring damage). I just think that it was a part of the game that didn't need fixing, but the devs tried to fix anyway, and made the experience less enjoyable as a result.

@RevenanT-G76-10 teams left at ring 3. Someone doesn't play ranked :PWhat does me playing rank mode have to do with anything?
It's doesn't make my post invalid, because as it sit's now that is what the ring damage is.
Also Op never said anything about ranked ?
Wasn't the ring damage ONLY buffed for ranked though? So why would he complain about ring damage if it WASN'T ranked? Pretty sure the casual matches still have the old ring damage formula. At least that's what the patch notes said.
The ring Damage was buffed for both modes according to the patch notes.
Ring 1 does the normal damage, Ring 2 does a bit more damage, Ring 3 takes a good chunk out of your health at a time [ Ring 4 and 5are a death sentence]. if your 400m+ out your not going to make it in ring 4 or 5, and your at the spectating screen of a teammate who did or the stat screen for the game.
Patch notes: Season 2 with ring increase
With Season 2, we’re trying out new circle closing speed, size, and damage that applies to both Ranked Leagues and the normal Apex Queue.
- Ring damage is now as follows:
- Round 1: 2% damage taken per tick.
- Round 2: 5% damage taken per tick.
- Round 3: 10% damage taken per tick.
- Round 4: 20% damage taken per tick.
- Round 5: 20% damage taken per tick.
- Round 6 and beyond: 25% damage taken per tick.
Looks Like They're testing it out.
I actuall like it there is no getting shot in the back during ring 3, 4 and 5. Also don't need to worry about ring campers during the later rings. there was too much ring camping in the later rounds. there is still ring camping in rounds 1 and 2, I feel that the damage could be a hair more higher. people still ring camping at the begining nothing really changed.
I don't get the backlash / complaining because you still can ring camp at the beginning maybe because that is the only way they can get kills ?%
I still say keep the ring damage of Season 2 going forward.
If respawn wants / can they can make small modifications to ring 1 and ring 4. Add more Damage to ring 1 [ from 2% to 3 %] and slightly reduce the damage in ring 4 [from 20%- 18%].
I like season 2 ring damage compared to season 1.
