I still hate Elite
So first ring damage has been toned down a little. Yet, me and my team just got eliminated for a purely arbitrary reason again, it still happens. We dropped Skulltown, won from 2 enemy teams back t...

I understand everything you said about survival and BR. I'm not referring to play the game like TDM because that's not the case. There are certain situations where I'll take a risk and run towards gun fire because I know i need better gear for later in the match and killing enemies are a great way to achieve this.
The great thing about games is everyone gets to play the way they want to play it. If you want to go Rambo go ahead, if you want to hide in every building and win the match with 1 kill and 50 damage, go ahead. The developers shouldn't change the game design to promote one over the other is what I'm getting at.
Yes, two modes are good and I think this game needs many more IMO. But to change the storm damage just to the elite queue isn't fair. That's the new mode everyone wants to play and improve on with badges and such. Again, to each their own.

I get where you're coming from.
Nobody gives 2 hoots about the ring in casual. That just isn't right imo. It should make you think about your actions, where to relocate and when and when not to engage which it is doing in elite imo. One eye is always on the counter and ring location. Ups the anti imo. Far more intense.
I've even baited teams to fight and then disengaged and flanked after they shot themselves to pieces. I've also been nailed by the ring when I have been preocupied with fights. That's on me. Bad decisions and situational awareness, but I like the extra pressure/dimension.

My thoughts exactly. The circle is meant to put pressure on you, not hang out in and flank people. That's the dumbest way to play lol
- @jonesy0218 Flanking an opponent is a completely fair and viable in a BR mode. I understand the frustration of a team sitting in the storm with 10 plus med kits and a health drone. There has been times I'll see a fight and plan to flank around their backside while traveling through the storm. In a BR mode you should never feel safe and should expect to get flanked even if the storm is at your back. Again, not one play style is wrong in anyway. You get to play the game how you want to, there is not right or wrong in a BR. It just seems the name of the mode should be renamed. Because it's truly not the elite team winning the match majority of the time. I feel so dirty when i win a match cowering in corners with a one kill victory.
Yeah, flanking is definitely a smart way! I completely agree. But purposely going into the storm or staying in the storm to fight because you know it doesn't do much damage is unacceptable. At that point, the circle isn't doing its job.
And the idea of people "win a lot" because they "kill a lot" is just one play style... You can win a lot by playing smart and not kill a lot. Having a 6 or 7 team kill game is completely fine. You rushed when it was smart to do so and you had the advantageous spots on the map.
I had a game where my friend was trying to revive me by going back in a risky storm, but he had to kill a team of two and two solos... That's completely ridiculous. They might as well leave the storm off the map and just put a game timer on and nobody wins if it expires lol xD I hate how little the circle matters to people. It doesn't take anything away from the Elite Queue. It makes the game play how it's supposed to be played. People are so obsessed with fluffing stats by hot dropping that they forgot how a true survival BR is supposed to be played lol.
