Godox TT685II vs ring light for macro photography?

[Far-Out-Dude]

I am looking to pick up the Godox TT685II On-Camera Flash with Trigger and Accessories Kit for Canon Cameras and AK Diffuser, I have been advised but a few people to avoid ring lights for macro because "A ringlight has very unnatural light characteristics and very fast light falloff due to the proximity to the subject." I was wondering what everybody's thought are on this that shoot macro? 

I intend to shoot bugs, flowers, interesting textures and so on. So far I have been having a hard time shooting indoors, I am a outdoors guy but my body currently has me limited.

E-TTL may work if it supports that if it’s NOT a manual flash unit. But I’ve found incompatibilities between Godox flashes and EOS R series. The further apart the age gap the more likely it is to have problems. Though some stuff work fine I’m not sure how well it will preform.
