New circle damage is bad, here's why

So, last night, my team dropped in Slum Lakes, and we were soon fighting against 3 other teams. It was a really nice one, Wattson's abilities were great in buying time to reload or recharge health or...

1# On the side of the maps is the better loot. So jumping in the middle meens less running but worse loot. Pick your poison.

2# The first circle does not do THAT much damage its easy to outheal with a few small heals.

3# You saying you want to be able to run in storm with 10% hp left? They may as well remove it.

4# YES you have to chose between fignting and running from the storm!

Thank god this game has more depth and tactics in it then just people figuring out who has the best aim.

Good position --> Good aim.

And yes. Good position and camping are 2 completely different things!

5# Teams waiting at the side of the circle for easy prey.

Just make sure you are not the easy prey.

There is a timer on the side of your screen showing you exacly when the circle will come.

YES abandon the fight and try to make them the pray while they struggle to get in the safe zone.

Be in the good position first.

@DaAceXD Finally a guy who comes with good arguments why this new storm damage isn’t brutal. I was starting to think I was the only one on the forums not against it and actually enjoying it. And this comes from a very berry agressive player. I’m the one in TDM who will kill you even if it means getting 4 shotted by your teammates! XD

This new storm isn’t for no-thinkers which I think most ppl nowadays are if these forums are a reflection of the ppl playing FPS/BRs. The storm is a mechanic to, get this, make a playing field smaller to fight in by way of dealing damage. It is not, get this, an extra zone where you get slightly damaged in but where you can fight opponents. If you want to do that, that’s fine but don’t go complaining that you ‘died due to the storm’.

How do you think ppl react when a real storm is incoming? A real storm ‘pushes’ people into a safe zone (buildings, covers... underground bunkers). You guys just want a rainy day which inconveniences you but where you can still actually walk in. NO! Stop that way of thinking!

@DoYaSeeMe, sometimes that happends. Just be aware of your surrounding and pay attention to the timer I’d say. I did laugh about the one shotted in the back tho xD

People complaining about this new storm damage remind me of the ppl complaining bout the S1 battlepass being over. I see basically the same comments but in a new jacket. ‘Didn’t see that the storm was coming and died due to it’ - answer for that, look at the ‘storm timer’ and your map. ‘Didn’t know that the battle pass ended that day’ - answer for that, look at the BP timer.

  Thing is people were already complaining about not having good teammates. Now you need an even higher awareness in your squad. I had my team split when dropping a few times last night, some wanted to push, some wanted the L-Star, some wanted to play it safe, some wanted to complete the daily challenge of landing in artillery. This new ring damage is dividing.
  It's not that I can't escape, but it takes away the pleasure of fighting in certain areas or hunting the last survivor of the enemy team. I would've tried something else to push out campers, like Leviathans walking through and stomping the shacks, or dragons attacking campers that hide in bushes, forcing them to fight back and expose their positions.

In those situations I had full health, but very few or no medkits, but the next ring was very far. You can't run straight, so, once you're outside, it's very hard to get back in, unless you're Patfinder. When you are dropping, you don't know where the next ring will be, then if you go in a fight you can't just run away and die shot in the back or letting your teammates die outgunned.
Who cares about timers while fighting the enemy?

  @DoYaSeeMe You have to prioritise in life dont ya? Well gaming is life LOLZ. In real life if you’re cramming for an upcoming exam that takes place in a week but your boss wants you to finish the deadline that end tomorrow. Which would you do, which is more important?
  
  Same applies here. Do you think logically and disengage with potential fallback from enemy or do you commence shooting with certainty of dying to due them or the storm

  You need to start pushing fights if you get it to a multi team fight in the beginning of a game you cannot have a 4 plus min gun fight that is common sense it is not the circles fault that you think you have to have an advantage to shoot your gun the point of the circle is to get everyone to the same place it needs to do dmg so people don’t just stand in it for entire games
