New Circle Damage needs to go. And Syringes need updating

Totally agree. Its not so much the damage for me but rather how soon it closes. You literally cant get into any decent fights any more... My premade ranked team worries more about the ring and running from it then having fun with fighting people. We literally wont go into combat to 3rd party a team or engage another team because we have to run for the ring. Its really sad cause this is my only gripe with this season so far. I suppose the lack of loot as well. Call me crazy but the available tier 2 and higher armors seems to have been nerfed. 

This was the only BR i played where the ring wasnt a threat. Blame all the people that took advantage of it and camped in the storm. I like it, adds a bit of strategy as far as time management/route, IMO ring shouldve always did more damage, you all just  have to adjust 

I can't even stay in a match long enough to see the storm. What's it look like?

The damage I can handle, it's just about right. The circle in any BR should a threat, even in the early game. 

But has the movement speed changed?

It seems to move a lot quicker now? 

If Respawn makes it how it was then people will just camp the ring again. I can't count how many times since the update[season 2] people are still staying in the ring or just coming out of the ring, they just want to camp it still. The timer is set at 3 mins the first 2 rings then the time reduces after that. there is plenty of time to get kill's and get in to a battle.

I personally like the update it keeps the game "moving along" sorta speak. 

Ranked should be like Elite, have increased ring damage. It doesn't do enough damage at the moment and makes the mode campy. Casual games should've reduced damage.

Something that is worth considering -

My team have to actively AVOID fights once we get to a certain countdown-before-ring point, depending on how far away we are from the next ring.  We hear and avoid loads of fights nearby that we would have taken before this change to ring dmg.

Those are all 3rd party fights that we're not inflicting on other squads.  Fights that we have now near to ring-time are also probably not being 3ped as much.

Isn't this one of the most asked for things from before ring changes?  A method so being constantly 3ped isn't as much?

Personally I didn't care about it, it was part of the game - but the Respawn guys have created a set of conditions where 3p at certain points is effectively suicide, nomatter how quickly you kill your enemy.

Less fights overall though, and I prefer the old ring - but the new one isn't so nuclear at the start that I can't stand it.

The community also asked for faster ring timers because of "slow" mid game.

I like the set up now. Increasingly harsher ring damage as the match goes on.

Respawn do listen, but the community forgets what they ask for lol.
