Re: Ideas for QoL fixes, reviving and the ring

See my notes in RED
I have to agree with @HappyHourSumwur here.

The ring was buffed to prevent cheaters from making stalemate matches by surviving in the ring so that they don't have to fight to win the match. For a map like Olympus there isn't a problem, but these current maps it is stopping the flow of game play where half the map is killed off at once.
No matter where you are, if you didn't happen to land on the same side of the map as the 2nd ring you can't play past that round. Yes you can, can even be done with ring 3 but ring 3 is tricky. It was better the way they had it before last season, the way it is now even if you didn't loot and used a control console to find out the ring location you would still probably lose. I'm just saying they should revert the rocky maps back to the old ring system since it was only Olympus that had the exploit.
I think these rock maps either need tunnels through all mountains (or trails) since no amount of strategy can keep you alive if you don't land on the correct side of the map. There are lots of tunnels and trails through the mountains on all of the maps.
As for the bleeding, I agree there should be a penalty for getting downed, so why not eliminate rezzing a teammates and just have the death box be there when they are downed, the current way makes no sense and reviving a player pulls enough time away that you could do at least 200 damage to the other team.
One should 80%+ of the time be finishing off the other team and not rezzing untill the fight is over, there are cases and lots of them where rezzing during a fight makes sense though. So no it should not be insta boxed. Fake Rezzing is a good strat BTW. kinda like bait and switch.
As far as the ring and maps go if you are landing edge you need to PLAN accordingly, this is a skill and learning it is key to not only surviving the ring but will help you with rotations and other strats like playing the ring edge or back edge to make teams come to you instead of you going to them or getting traped between teams. Learn your rotations, loot faster and or skip some looting if need be, especially if you already have your basic needs fulfilled. If you play Ranked then you def need this skill as you advance in rank, without it making Plat 1 or 2 or higher will not work so well unless you have a teammate that knows this and will IGL you.
