Apex Legends reportedly receiving ring changes with Season 18

Fresh news regarding ring changes for Season 18 of Apex Legends has surfaced over Twitter. Data miner KralRindo has showcased the very visible changes to the ring size as well as the diminishing timer for the upcoming Season. Reportedly, the first ring will have a significantly larger radius than Season 17's variant, and the ring-closing time seems to have been visibly lowered.

These changes are not confirmed by Respawn Entertainment as of now. However, KralRindo's discoveries eventually do end up showing in the final builds of the game. It will be interesting to see how competitive Apex, as well as Apex Legends, ranked, turns out to be if these changes follow through to the live build of the game.

Will matches in Apex Legends end faster in Season 18 with new ring changes?

The most significant change regarding the upcoming Season's ring is, possibly, the increase in the radius of the safe zone. With a larger-sized ring for round 1, players will have a higher chance of survivability for the latter half of the fights. The current ring size capitalizes on very early-game rotation through the map. However, with such a change, it will be interesting to see how even early-game fights pan out.

Furthermore, the ring durations have been subsequently shortened to ensure faster endings to games. With these changes, the pace of Apex Legends casuals, ranked and competitive, is undoubtedly about to change. With the early game being a bit safer to mess around in Season 18, as rounds 3-4 emerge, fights, rotations, and overall placements will become incredibly intense.

Safe to say, if these changes make it to the final build of Season 18, the entirety of the competitive scene will most definitely be a sight to behold.
