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...

@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.
