New circle damage is bad, here's why

I haven't died to a level 1 storm yet - but I play with it in mind a lot more, meaning that I don't get the early fights I would have before this patch.

This isn't a whine because I CAN'T play with the enhanced storm damage because it kills me - it's a statement that the increased storm damage means that there are far fewer early game fights.

Great if you want fewer fights and less 3ping earlygame - garbage if you want more fights sooner.  It's that simple.  It doesn't boil down to which players have the higher IQ or not : the effect is more or fewer fights and the kind of game you want to have.

Less 3P fights but a lot more people camping the edge of the next zone looking to clean up players coming FROM fights, or who were late into the zone - which is just as ratty and easy as 3Ping a fight, if not more : because those players options are totally diminished in terms of movement.

I prefer more as do loads of others.  I'm not going to 'vote with my wallet' because the game's free and despite my issues with Respawn trying hard to manipulate the playerbase into changing how most people have played up to now for reasons unknown - it's still the best FPS available to me on xbox.  Not just BR, best FPS.

The argument that people don't like this new ring because they're stupid or unable to adapt is in and of itself - stupid.
