Old thread available here:>>2019456>>2019456>>2019456
Fell out of diamond this season but it ended up bothering me way less than I expected. I think I've stopped caring about rank at all. If 3.0 locks me out of queueing with the lads I'll be pissed off, though.
>>2526052Ahhh bloo bloo, woe is youYou've only made it to 2nd highest rank in the entire game, how will you ever sleep at night?Wahhhhh T_TKiss my ass FAGGOR, you're going to be Gold in ranked 3.0 and I will be there to fuck your tight bussy, twink
>>2526088Truly fascinating response.
Gonna solo queue until new season, i never touch ranked but i'll do it this time, hopefully i can get to silver
>>2526181Same, never touched the ranked and not going to. I'll stick with casual.
>>2526249You don't play Unranked either?
>>2526255I think I tried once. Playing since 2017 lol.
I haven't seriously touched ranked since before they introduced the champ rank. Highest rank I soloqueued to was plat 2 when plat was the second highest rank, but it was a real struggle the entire way. As a solo, your team at least 70% of the time will be made up of uncommunicative randoms that suck absolute ass, and the enemy team will be made up of a well-coordinated stack of at least 2-3 players (often 5). Even if you try talking to your teammates and encourage them to cooperate, they won't. They simply won't. Playing ranked without using your mic should be a bannable offense. Not that I care about ranked at all at this point. Fuck that shit, and fuck unranked, because it's the exact same thing there.
Ranked without a stack is brain damaging
I want to play but i don't want to play
>>2527096You don't need a stack for ranked but it feels really jank with 1 other person. A 3 queue is fine.
>>2527096so when is the /r6g/ stackI fucking hate playing with consolegroids and jynxzi zoomers
>>2528829I'm down whenever as long as y'all aren't memespamming retards. US West, though.
seu here
>>2528951I'm east US and I'd be down to play but I'm going to be traveling for work for a little while.
>>2528996Tell me where you work and what your job is.I want to steal your occupation so I can put that on my resume and pretend I've been employed lately :3
So is there any way to play Area Secured or HostageWhy aren't these modes in rotation?I am a returning player I am surprised there is only Bomb 24/7
With my main getting nerf next season, what is a good attacker that I can contribute after I'm dead, helps all my teammate when I'm alive? My second mains are Thatcher/Termite, I struggle to get on site let alone into the building, so I just make my own may, but you can't always use them depending on site/bans. I tried Twitch/Brava but by the time I'm done using the drones there is only 30 seconds left in the round.
Would be nice to find a stack of oldfags from the EU, but there are only usually Amerifags in these types of threads.
>>2529622>So is there any way to play Area Secured or Hostagequickplay>Why aren't these modes in rotation?they used to be but barely anyone played them except to farm noobs for ez diamondthey're just too unbalanced and not particularly interesting in their current statethey said they want to overhaul hostage at some point but I don't remember if they gave an exact date
>>2529650>quickplayI learned recently that ubishit disabled secure area and hostage by default for everyone, so hardly anyone plays them. You have to toggle those modes in settings to play them, which is a real retard faggot move.
>>2529666something something queue times
>>2526249I know what you mean. Always avoided ranked, but this time I really wanted the Frost headgear and some how made it to Platinum V today. So now I'm hooked.
>>2529626>dokk main
>>2526028> R6 community in-game: the most toxic, insufferable, cock-eating retards known to man> R6 community in this thread: relatively calm, normal peopleWhat gives? Why is there no trolling, slurs or condescending arguments in these threads?Nobody is even smugly saying "post rank", wtf?
>>2529775Because only insecure children act like that over pixels on their screen and the average age on 4cuck must be 27 at this point.
>>2529650Probably related to Goyo/Wamai hostage tricks.
>>2529626Brava is great when used against Maestro, you won't even need to enter the building to be useful this way.
>>2529775/r6g/ is 10 years old now. back when siege was still a tom clancy title and ubisoft wasn't trying to ape fortnite.
>>2529801Well, I don't think it was ever truly a "Tom Clancy's Game", especially due to its departure from the original Rainbow titles, but yeah, it was way more grounded in reality, serious and grittier. We also didn't have any clown skins back then and the gameplay was more punishing. Miss that old atmospheric lighting too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEC5d4lBe4M
>>2529807say what you will about the gameplay but siege still took itself seriously back then and we had actual terrorists doing terrorist shit. no fucking operator olympics, no mcu villains, no hamfisted drama.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkqe_cFLO8Q
>>2529823Operator olympics was when I gave up Siege for a very long time. Stadium should be deleted from the game.
>>2529823>>2529827Exact same. Didn't play for like 2 years after they started adding all that crap. Every trace of Harry the Redditor and Reddit olympics should be removed from the game completely. I'm also not a huge fan of the whole nighthaven arc and ultra sci-fi maps with concrete concrete concrete and barely any verticality. Those should be removed from the game too.
>>2529845Well, look on the bright side: Deimos murdered Harry, got away with it, and literally nobody cares. Every time you play Deimos you are playing an actual murderer and war criminal. :)
>>2529872Probably the only cool thing to come out of that whole arc lol.
>mandatory phone number linking needed to play rankedfucking why? when did they add this gay shit?
>>2530380boosters and cheaters
>>2529650>>2529622Hostage is getting a full rework & will be included in ranked's rotation in Y11S4, they haven't given many details yet so that's all we know. It's going to be a permanent mode of course just like Bomb
>>2530380thank the chink cheaters for that
>>2529745>dokk mainIs the only way I win on attacking side and get my self to emerald.
>>2526028New Dokk just dropped. She's unbannable in ranked currently for two weeks, so if you solo queue be aware that you'll likely end up facing doomstacks crutching a nightmarish mixture of Dokk/Snake/Deimos or Dokk/Snake/Lion.I for one will not be touching ranked until she's bannable. I solo'd last season to Emerald, so if Ranked 3.0 is even remotely an improvement over Ranked 2.0, I'm expecting to be Diamond. Let's put the work in, peckerwoods. *Thumbs up*
>>2540728>if Ranked 3.0 is even remotely an improvement over Ranked 2.0I can't see it. Everything in the video is the same for me. You also can be thrown against stacks, gold players against coppers. What is the improvement, explain to me like im 5.
Worst battle pass so far.*Thumbs up*
new season let's gooooooooooooooooooo
Important pro tip for you silvers so you don't get filtered by the horizontal recoil pattern of the new assault rifle:USE. DA. COMPENSATOR.
Does casual MMR reset with each new season or do I need to wait a few months until I can stop facing sweats because I won too many fucking games in a row?
>>2526028atleast theres one more pack.....
>>2526028day one of new season, 2 out of my 5 placement matches had cheaters.ubishit needs to go bankrupt already.
>>2542465>He unironically plays ranked
>>2529775because in game you can play like a total faggot and ruin everyone's enjoyment.in threads, everyone feels the same way.
>>2542470literally no other good playlist.casual is casual and can't be taken seriously.unranked has no stakes in it.ranked is the only playlist people actually try in.i dont play this game for leisure, i play it when i want to be competitive.
>>2542480>casual is casual and can't be taken seriously.That's the fun part. No one takes it seriously (for the most part) and you can shit on disorganized players all day long and feel like John Wick (until you hit like hidden champ rank and start running into coordinated stacks that use QM for warmup). There's very little fun about fighting people who tryhard and sweat their balls off. I get the competitive thing, but personally, I find it boring and as a solo see no point in trying to be competitive in a mode that's meant to be played with a premade, which I don't have.
>>2542516this game is too slow to be truly fun for me.it's purely a competitive game.and at this point, there's no such thing as a non-competitive multiplayer game.we have twitchfags to blame for the tryhard epidemic.
>end most seasons in diamond>4/1 on placements>gold 2Baffling system. At least I'm starting the season off with a 2 KD.
>>2542528In QM, there's a way to reverse boost. You can drop your MMR so low, you start running into the literal wood league. Seal clubbing stops being fun after a while though. I think gold-plat is the sweet spot for me personally. It's not too easy, and not too hard.
What's wrong with her face lmao
>>2542592Bitch hit the wall hard wtf. Let's put that good goycattle mask on that mug.
>>2542465report and you get your points back
>>2542592This ugly ass Gook couldn't afford plastic surgery so that's how she looks like
Fuck yes, we're so back, zofia bros. The speed nerf was so retarded and unnecessary in the first place. So fucking stupid.
I get what they were going for with this new map (Coastline 2), but they completely misunderstood what makes Coastline a great and well-balanced map and enjoyable to play both as an attacker and a defender. You can still see the dogshit map design and stupid philosophy of plopping as many corridors and tiny rooms as possible from the Cringe olympics era all throughout the new map.
I just started playing today. Are people in quickplay real players or bots like in pubg?
>>2544236iirc bots aren't up yet
>>2540728sounds like it's gonna be a mute/vigil season
>>2542516>There's very little fun about fighting people who tryhard and sweat their balls offI disagree. Sprinting into site and praying you win your 50/50s is fucking stupid. Siege's gunplay is average at best and the least interesting part of the game. Outsmarting a sweaty 5 stack feels much more satisfying to me.
>>2544236There are no bots in quickplay, but there are bots in the training mode.
Oh, mama Dokkaebi. You are in your prime now. I want to cream those sweet lips of yours.
>>2544276Shit fact: Mute's jammers no longer counter Dokkabei's phone calls like they used to. Before, if you were on top of a jammer an incoming call would be automatically silenced and if you were being called, you could run to a nearby jammer and silence it. Now? If you're being called and run to a nearby jammer, nothing happens. Your phone will still ring. You have to be already on top of a jammer to disable any calls. Enjoy! :)
>>2545758One of the devs has to be a dokkaebi simp or it's a foid's self insert. There is no other explanation. I suspected it before with her cringe donut steel bio, how she's constantly pushed ingame and in lore, and now her """rework""" has made her even more oppressive. It's fucking release Ela all over again. She is going to be a permaban by the end of this season and easily the most hated operator in the entire roster.
>>2544246>>2544357That's crazy, it's like people who've never played an fps game before.
>>2545983>people who've never played an fps game beforeThat's who you're going to be running into initially, but then the hidden MMR in QM will correct itself. There are people who are barely self aware. Children. Idiots. Women. People who have literally never played a multiplayer game before. Hey, I don't judge. Siege was my first multiplayer FPS too, and I struggled for quite a bit before I got good.
>>2547063>Siege was my first multiplayer FPS tooHoly Spartan
>>2547109I mean I had played MP FPS before, but not seriously, and only a handful of times. Siege was the first MP game I got into and stuck with. Took me two years or so to stop sucking and get to high plat level. It was a very rough fucking journey, because by that point the game had been out for a few years, and it felt like everyone I played against was infinitely better and more knowledgeable than me. I can't imagine what it's like getting into this game now that it's been out for 11 fucking years and has fuck knows how many operators, abilities and mechanics. Cock and ball torture is probably more pleasant than learning Siege now.
It's always really funny to watch what everyone's skill level was like back in year one or even during the beta. I always regretted not playing during that period, because I missed out on getting good along with everyone else.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwqMk-V6sYE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvqcEGgzm_4Holy fucking netcode, lmao. It's easy to get nostalgic and forget that the game was a total dumpster fire before operation health, I guess.
Battle Pass gifting has been disabled in Year 11 seasons where Operator Remasters are included. This is due to gifted Battle Passes not awarding Credits correctly for players who already own the remastered Operator.Battle Pass gifting will be back in Season 3.
>>2542886did report, but ubishit doesnt ban cheaters as fast as they should because the retards that run it think that banning cheaters 6 months after the report makes cheaters unsure of why they were banned.ubisoft thinks they heckin' smarterino tacticians.
>>2542571>ignores my entire pointthis. game. is. competitive. only. for. me.
>>2548720Whatever you say, silver.
>>2548558Fucking faggots. They're going to go bankrupt, aren't they? First, they disabled the market so that players could not earn their own credits, but only spend real money on them. Then there were skins in the shop for 5000 credits. Cut down the chance of dropping good quality items in alpha packs, again so people use the shop for good skins. Now, the battle pass gifts, so your friend need to buy it instead.Will they also fix any critical game-breaking bugs in the next seasons? No.There's no way they're doing this because they're not going to bankrupt.
Weird amount of intentional throwers this season, 3 already in less than 15 games. Also recognizing a bunch of names from diamond matches and they're all gold and plat this season. I have a feeling this season is going to suck.
>>2551194It's just one season anon
>>2551337Previously, they were boosted by good teammates, some with premade stacks. Now, "your skill is your rank."
>>2551337at least you dont have to play a thousand games to climb back to your rank anymore.
>>2552268Nah, that's not the case. Almost everyone I recognize is sitting at a 1.4 or higher, I'm at a 1.6 and I'm bottom of the barrel by 2.0 Diamond standards. The ranks are just really fucky right now.I don't mind since I'm autistic about this game and the grind sounds fun to me, but this cannot be fun for actual plats right now.
How to go about learning maps, should I play only ranked ones or just all of them (unranked playlist)? Most of the time I just guess where to go and plant my traps and stuff where I think the attackers come from and try to make choke points with my team's equipment; but it's just a gamble. Attacking is a nightmare and I'm just running around in a maze before I get a kill or die from some insane angle.
>>2541036Good think it's basically free if you already have Dokka.
>>2553108wdym by free?
>>2553111600 credits for owning Dokka and another 600 for completing the BP.
>>2552610Depends. Are you looking to get into ranked soon? If so, play unranked but tweak unranked's settings to feature the "ranked only" map playlist. However, I would thoroughly recommend that before you do that, look up on YouTube: "R6 Siege <Insert map you want to learn> attack/defense guide".Study the meta headholes, rotates, pushes, direct takes, etc shown.Siege isn't an easy game to learn, but you WILL learn it through a mixture of experience, repetition, and muscle memory once you accumulate enough hours.Keep at it. Or don't. It all depends on whether or not you give a fuck and actually want to be good at popular FPS.
>>2554193Here's some top-tier Siege YouTubers that will help you learn:Poxonlox (Champ with semi-pro experience, though never formally a pro player)Athieno (Same as above)R6 Mint (Not sure of his rank, but he was previously a pro coach)Beaulo Live (Absolute apex of Champs, ex-pro player. This particular offshoot of his main channel features entire ranked games of Beaulo playing both attack/defense, through wins and losses. I highly, highly recommend you steal strats and operators from him, then mix them with your own playstyle)
have any of u noticed the new BP is arranged in the form of azn phone call lady's operator symbol? :3
>>2554232Royal Penguin is good too
>>2554334yea, literally a dokkaebi
>>2554232Mint is the only one that gives good adviceBeaulo sandbags in ranked. He can just walk in the building and smoke 99% of players off gunskill.Athieno and Pox play like bots a lot of the time.They're fine if you're starting from copper but you'll plateau if you just copy their strats 1:1.Siege fundamentals are the boring things that don't get you youtube views.Strong droning skills, positioning, timing, communication, trades, map knowledge, etc.
>>2552610>How to go about learning mapsClear House is what most people recommend. I like going in with Buck and opening walls everywhere to learn sightlines.
>>2553144
>>2555165>Beaulo sandbags in ranked. He can just walk in the building and smoke 99% of players off gunskill.Reminds me of the Jinxzy VS Mooda play. After talking about how tactics are more important in R6S, Mooda, who had never played Siege, destroyed Jinxzy with his good aim from Valorant.
>>2548954>haha guys! ranked doesn't matter>ok, silveryou're so retarded, please kill yourself, copper.
>>2555165> Athieno and Pox play like bots a lot of the time.You're sleeping on them desu. Back in the day, when Athieno was way under 500k in subscribers he uploaded a ranked match featuring him and his stack facing off against Beaulo and TSM. Athieno and his gang won (barely, if memory serves correctly).As for Pox, Pox only a few months ago actually shit on IceCold (One of Bo's irrelevant hangers-on that's known in the comp and scrim scene) in one of IceCold's own videos featuring them fighting for a spot in T3/T2 or some shit like that.You might think they are bots, but they are actually legit. I've seen it! Pox surprised the hell out of me though, I did not know he was seriously built like that lol
>>2556054I found the video featuring Pox vs IceCold:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrmjVpH3zWwThe Athieno vs Beaulo/TSM video happened so many years ago that I don't think I'll be able to find that one, though. :/
>>2555893Ranked literally doesn't matter as a solo, shitter, because it's a heavily team based mode. If you don't have a team, you're playing ranked wrong.
I know this is childish and consoomerist but I want them to collab with Resident Evil again and give us another couple cool elites
>>2556879Because of you, Rainbow is the ice capades now.
>>2556906Shotty Deimos is fun as fuck and I'm tired of pretending he is not>Phobos as operator was never a thingSadge but I hope the next defender is fun one way or the other. Not sure what they're planning to do since she's going to be mostly a shield counter
>Deimos>PhobosWho will be the third? Anus?
>>2557001Penus
>>2555779I don't think so. Dozens of Alpha Packs and a couple of boosters seem worth it to me. And I still have a ton of credits from the marketplace, so it's not like I'm gonna pay Ubi a single cent.
>remove remote hack>add cooldown between calls>the defender puts his phone on silent after the first callThere, now she's at least somewhat bearable.
>>2545758>>2557369We need some type of technophobe operator. No phone at all, no electric / electronic gunsights, gadgets limited to physical or pyrotechnic options, voice comms only work within shouting distance.
What the fuck is this? I have to verify who i am in order to comm with randoms? What a load of fucking shit
>Dokkaebi>Deimos>Snake>Lion>Grim
>>2557899first time?
>>2557899Nigga missed the era where it was nothing, but stacks of>Lion with literal wallhax>Dokk that wouldn't turn off by itself>Jackal that could track you the entire round>Blitz>Ash acogin both ranked and casual.
>>2557570That's Thatcher with his hate for the fooking laser sights and electronic devices.
>>2557369Pick Thunderbird, let it ring, heal yourself with the gadget.>pros: no more calls, and you no longer drop a phone on death>cons: you have to play thunderbirdDoc could work too
>>2561259You are mistaken, friend, I was that Jackal.
>>2562908It's not that complicated, bro. If you're over 50 HP and about to be pushed, let the phone explode and kill whoever is pushing you. If you're under 50 HP, kiss your ass goodbye, good night
Working on learning the vertical angles in Calypso. There's actually a ton of coverage of CCTV and server (but some of the server angles have weird wires and shit that make it hard to see.) My squad's planning to try to mainly work a take from the admin office, to money counting, and then to breach the right wall and plant behind the console. All of the relevant vertical is up in bar. You can't cover the rotate, but you can cover vault checkpoint really safely, and it's all behind the actual bar, so it's unusually safe for vertical play.
>>2564663Opposite side of that same area is the actual plant area we're going for. This particular breach (it's basically the same one as the last one) is the most important, so I guess you could really fun Fuze with breaching charges if you want. Unfortunately most of the rest of the angles are far away, so if you only have to pick 3, it's a little rough.
>>2564669This is vulnerable to a quick run up the stairs connected to bar, but there's a Karaoke-like angle that watches the base of the stairs in the horse room. It's a little too far away for one player to play while he's also playing the cutting verts, though.
>>2564674Speaking of those stairs, the vert at the base of them looks into the admin office, which is a pretty safe external wall. There's a hatch in the next room that drops directly into it, too.
Yeah that's a cool story and all bro, but the meta of the map will be figured out by far better players than you who will share the meta with us all in due timeYou're probably unknowingly doing some retard strats that will look really dumb in hindsight
You can place the friendly fire penalty on an enemy Dokkaebi if you trigger the smartphone fire on a knocked enemy.
>>2563861This bullshit is so crazy. I've hunted down players who literally had no chance because it they either had to burn to death or give up and die. Man, Dokkaebi was probably one of the last fucking ops who needed a buff. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking.
>>2564702>STOP talking about siege in /r6g/you are a tremendous faggot
>>2564702kys>>2564663>>2564669>>2564674>>2564684Good stuff anon, I'll keep these in mind
I love r6fix.
Lol, lmao even. Do coppers really believe this? How hard can it be to learn to control the SMG-11?
>>2565830>controller players
>>2566041I can't believe people still play multiplayer FPS shooters with a controller in this day and age. Utter madness.
>>2556567>rank doesnt matter>insults someone based what he thinks their rank isagain, please kill yourself, retard.
>>2565492>>2565696Stop samefagging your gay retard posts, homo. You have not figured out the meta on Casino.Sit down and stop acting like you're doing us all a favor with your gay retard exploration nobody asked for.
Imagine being so mindbroken
>>2567805CopeGay retard strats need not applyIt's a meta world and you just live in it, dickpussyIn a month or two from now I'm going to look at the screenshots of your autistic takes and laugh at how hilariously wrong you were, tee-hee
This game worth going back to as someone who quit right around the time the gay glasses faggot dropped?
>>2568049>>2567778Your schizo meltdown aside, those screenshots weren't claiming to be meta at all, they were my initial findings. I shared them because I felt like it, and because it helps me remember them. I'm going to keep talking about the game here and you can't stop me.Also, if you're in an elo where you can run the epic meta youtuber setups everyone knows by heart and not immediately get prefired, I'm jealous.
>>2568757probably
>>2566944Once again: you can't play ranked competitively in any capacity as a solo, permasilver.
Imagine a high schooler showing up to a soccer game with a bunch of serious and well-coordinated teams, when he himself is alone, and claiming that he plays soccer competitively. This is how retarded this faggot sounds.
>>2569853plenty of solo players have gotten to far higher ranks than you, copperfag.please kill yourself, you make ranked worse for all of us.
>>2569854why are you so tilted?oh, is it that you're so shit at the game solo that you can't fathom other people can play it better than you?eat shit, faggot.
>>2569170> Backpeddling this hardGood bitch.See to it that from here on out, you continue to genuflect in utter reverence and total submission to the splendor of your magnanimous betters, posthaste.I bite my thumb at thee, pantywaist
Dokka getting nerfed soon
>>2569870I don't play ranked at all, because it doesn't make sense to play a mode designed for teams as a solo.>>2569872I have a k/d of 2 and 3k hours, I'm anything, but shit at the game.
>>2570869>Make a braindead-broken operator>Immediately nerf themWhy do they always do this shit? Is it really that hard not to make braindead-broken operators?
I'm really curious how they're going to nerf Dokk. Not that I ever thought she needed a fucking buff in the first place.
absolute state of the game. queue into multiple cheaters on both teams, duking it out with their hacks, going at it in all-chat about>enjoy your manual report, ez rollback, get better scripts
>>2526028Wait a minute.Does ranked 3.0 make it harder or easier for solo players now? In 3.0, you gain/lose the exact same amount of RP regardless of performance but have the benefit of not getting hardstuck where your invisible MMR says you belong, yet in 2.0, if your invisible MMR was high enough, you'd accordingly gain more RP for wins and less for losses.Are solos basically fucked currently unless they have like a 60% or higher win rate??
>>2572128Solo alt placed pretty high but it's been progressing at the same speed as my main so far. RP gain doesn't appear to have changed like, at all, on either one.
>>2574252Well, I guess that's a good thing? Your alt and main have the same RP gain/loss, so no more confusion ever in that regard.Just don't get fucked by any losing streaks as a solo and you'll be fine, I guess. But even then, it will no longer be possible for Siege to say: "Hm. Looks like you lost 5 matches in a row. Fuck off and stay in whatever rank you are right now."Idk. Maybe us solos might end up eating well after all, especially if we're lucky? This is sounding promising...
hand The game manual over or is it still in the box just smack ‘er in the head with it!!!
defenders should be able to throw their phone away when dokk calls.echo should be immune to dokk.tubarao canisters should freeze your phone.dokk being able to call downed ops is funny, they should keep that feature.
>>2574650>defenders should be able to throw their phone away when dokk calls.I actually really like this idea. Clever nerf to dokk. Tubarao canisters do already freeze your phone. At least they did before the new season.
We are getting way more views recently on tournaments or even playing siege casually, which means siege is in a pretty healthy state rn. I wonder if Blast/Ubi could make 4 regional seasons with the same format as kick off, and add 1 more international LAN event during the year.
Another wave of firing in Ubisoft, cutting up to 380 more jobs and completely shutting down two development studios. Ubisoft Winnipeg (Canada), Ubisoft Belgrade (Serbia) gone. Ubisoft Barcelona (Spain): Hit with significant layoffs (roughly 51 people, accounting for nearly a third of the studio). The remaining team is being heavily restructured to focus exclusively on the Rainbow Six franchise.Why is this happening?According to internal memos, these aggressive cuts are part of an ongoing effort to slash an additional €200 million in fixed costs over the next two years following years of falling profits, high-profile game delays, and restructuring after securing investments from Tencent.
>>2578154oh noanyway
>>2578154>Why is this happening?Ubisoft has been in decline for a while. One of their biggest projects (Skull & Bones) flopped, Far Cry 6 and a bunch of other games were disappointing, then there was that hack. Plus, who can afford to play games anymore? Most people are priced out of buying GPUs, RAM and SSDs. Gaming is already a hobby only the rich can afford.
>>2578663r6s is free, Rajesh
>>2578842Bot post.
Is there a way to separate "jump into window" and "rappel?" I break windows fully but sometimes it still rappels me, it's so annoying
>>2580094Not as far as I know. This often happens to me on Chalet big window lol
>>2571283same reason OW does the exact same thing.boost player count with new OP character, or in this case an OP rework.once annoyance and disgruntlement has reached all time highs"we JUST now noticed that this character is way too powerful for the sandbox! we're going to nerf them now! look, we're listening to the community!"
>>2571278aw, how cute, you're pretending to be "enlightened".proved you wrong about ranked and now you're coping.blow your brains out.
>>2570869>are able to immediately identify the problem.>will still take months to roll out the changesand this is why siege is dead.
>>2584174This. I don't remember a time when this game didn't have bugs. Every year some new bug is fixed, replacing the old bug with a new one.
It's crazy how this game is both forward and backwards at the same time compared to CS.The good:Dynamic range options for the audioAspect ratio stretching that's independent of resolutionBuilt-in benchmark with detailed results Great vertical soundFlash bang visual and audio effects optionsCool game mode to learn the mapsThe bad:The whole UI is made for controller navigation, doing anything on MnK is a chore and is incredibly unintuitive.No forward/back button support like in a browser.Quickly making a custom game to test something is absolutely not "quick"Binding options are pretty bad, being able to do per-operator binding would be nice, aka group thrown util to one key and other stuff to anotherLet us organise operators how we want, perhaps in a system similar to Dota 2's. This chronological order may be good for most, but more options are always better.
>>2584204i honestly can't tell if it's because the DEI hires are too stupid to fix them, or if ubishit starves the community of fixes so that way they look like angels of mercy when they do finally fix something at the last moment of player sanity.
>>2584169Proved me wrong where? You are a faggot solo shitter, larping as some pro. And nothing you say will ever change that.
>>2584430you're bad at the game.you know it, which is why you keep engaging with me.if you were actually good and not insecure, you would've disregarded me a long time ago.i own you. you're my bitch, and nothing you say will ever change that.
>>2578154>heavily restructured to focus exclusively on the Rainbow Six franchiseGlad they figured that out. It's the franchise that is surviving, so double down on it>>2578663>One of their biggest projects (Skull & Bones) floppedAdd xDefiant to the flop list too>>2584253>making a custom game to test something is absolutely not "quick"Yeah they need to sort that out. Not only are the UI / settings layout bad, but various connection / lobby bugs>Let us organize operators how we wantGreat idea. Will be even more necessary as we continue to get more new ops
>>2584430>>2587378samefag
>>2590275>Glad they figured that out. It's the franchise that is surviving, so double down on itNigga, can you read? They downsized their Barcelona studio by a third.
>>2587378Like I said, I have a k/d of 2, I'm anything, but bad at it. This is a fact. You are a shitter who pretends to be a muh proleague big boy and shits his pants whenever someone challenges that delusion. You will never be good at this game, and you will never be a pro.
>>2574782>>2574650>throw phone>can no longer use cams>phone can destroyed and take away your access to cam until you die>phone still ringing so attackers gotta be aware they might be walking into an ambush instead>phone can still be hacked unless destroyed
>>2593114>doesnt play ranked>2KDlmao, wow, you have a 2.0 in casual! you're so special!
>>2595692Just stop arguing with the guy. There are legitimately people in R6 who think they are the second coming of Christ because they topscored in an unranked match once or twice with 10 kills. Unranked/casual warriors are cancer, they are all bark and no bite and generally refuse to play ranked because they know they'd get shit on by actual tryhards and cannot hang in any real match where RP is on the line.
>>2596668Case in point: this literally happened to me last night- I was dicking around in an unranked match and died aggressively going for a re-peek on a doorway. My """top fragging""" teammate with 13 kills continuously lost his shit at me over that one moment for the remainder of the match. I kept telling him again and again: "Dude. Relax. This is unranked. This is not ranked. Nothing we do here matters. This is not ranked." He refused to listen to me and kept swearing up and down that unranked is for getting good at Siege. Rationally, I kept trying to tell him that the gamemode most helpful for that is ranked itself, which is precisely why ranked exists. Guess what was the highest rank that egoing moron on my team reached? I looked him up. After 1,400 hours of playtime his highest rank ever was....*drumroll* silver.1,400 hours.Silver.I think R6 in general, just like always, has issues with immature teenagers and terminal manchildren hyperfixated on k/d continually being the loudest, most obnoxious voices in the entire community.Double digit kills in a single game, be it unranked or ranked = you are a Siege prodigy that should be signed to G2 or Faze ASAP
>>2593114mf I'm closer to your favorite pro player than you are just by playing rankedyou don't even do that to begin with xDsybau and only talk to me when you can maintain that magical 2.00 kda in an actual ranked season, pussyspoiler alert: u won't, because ur dogshit lol
>>2595692>>2597183I don't have any favorite pro players. And like I said: it doesn't make sense to play a team-based mode as a solo. What you're doing is pointless and retarded. If I had a team, I'd play ranked and have no problem maintaining that k/d. For a time, I played ranked with a team of diamonds back when diamond was the highest rank, and the level of communication I experienced was absolutely insane. The callouts they gave and everything helped me score more kills than they did combined. You will NEVER, EVER, in a million years experience anything like that as a solo. You need a team. As long as you play alone and not with a coordinated stack, what you're doing is retardation, and the least competitive thing imaginable. At that point, you're better off playing casual.
>>2597284> If> If> IfPut up or shut up. You won't do shit because you're scared. *Yawn*
>>2597331>scaredI've already explained my reasons for why it doesn't make sense to play ranked as a solo. If you like being retarded, please, by all means, keep playing ranked.
>>2597389Nah, that's just cope. Plenty of people solo to Champ just fine regardless of any handicap. You just refuse to do the same because you know inwardly you're not as good as you claim to be. After all, that shouldn't be a problem for a big, bad fragger like you, right? Oh wait, you're only a demon when you're stomping out noobies in unranked.Lol pussyyyyy
>>2597458>Plenty of people solo to ChampBut you're not one of them, Mr. "Competitive" Copper.
>>2597465OK.Let's say for the sake of your deranged argument, I am a copper. You, are unranked and have never touched ranked before. Ergo, I would still be better than you just by virtue of being at a rank you have never achieved.XDYou need to stop the weird cope, man. What do you get out of having no rank but still swearing up and down you're crazy good at the game? Why the ego?? Nobody will take you seriously, just like nobody is even taking you seriously now lmao.Even if I was copper, I'd still be closer to champ than you. Is that a good look for you?
>>2596668NTA, but I don't play ranked to spare ranked players from getting me and my elo terrorism on their team.
>>2597490>are unranked and have never touched ranked beforeIf you actually read my posts, you'd know this is untrue. Go back to my posts above and re-read them. I've played at levels you didn't see in your wettest dreams. I refuse to play ranked solo only because I experienced the highest level of play and I know that I cannot possibly simulate that as a solo in any capacity. If I had a great team, I'd play ranked all day. I'd enjoy it. I'd live in ranked. I have no interest in engaging in solo retardation, like you.
>dokk is balanced
>>2597828> Bro I don't touch ranked, but if I just had a stack I'd totally have a kd of 2 gorillion and would be the best player ever EZ PZ!!!1111Cool sorry, broFrankly I'm glad nobody wants to stack with you, you have a massive ego and are clearly arrogant. You'd be the first person to start screeching over the mic when you have a bad game, stay stackless plzGG
Why is Ubisoft like this? The average rank in the game is bronze 5. You can make the game enjoyable for most players and give them silver/gold. Yes, really bad players should be in copper, but you can't cram half your players in copper/bronze. What other games do this? I can't remember.
>>2598228You do realize that you posted a graph featuring the ranking distribution from Ranked 2.0, right? The average rank under that system was bronze because every season you'd be forced to grind all the way out of copper. Plenty of exhausted players said "Fuck it" to the grind, and just ragequit in bronze because they couldn't be bothered to keep grinding season after season from rock bottom. I guarantee that doesn't mean the average person under Ranked 2.0 was literally bronze in skill level lol.I'd wager under Ranked 3.0 the average rank will probably be gold or plat.
>>2598234>Ranked 3.0 only a week, but it will definitely fix all the problems.
>>2600805fuck off ESL. Go butcher the english language with your incoherent gibberish elsewhere
Could barely play the last week due to family flying down. Is the ranked spread still crazy or did everyone finally get to where they're supposed to be?
>>2602008Hard to say desu. I'm a solo that won literally 1/5 of my placement matches because my teammates throughout the night (Who I mistakenly believed would be previously Emerald like myself, and accordingly actually good) were visibly ranked Gold, NEVER hit Emerald, and yet somehow played like actual Coppers who were brand new to the game. They did not play like stereotypical Golds at all, they played well below that. I shit you not, after placements I looked up every single one of my teammates and most of them previously peaked Silver or had lifetime KDs hovering near 1 or even quite a bit lower after hundreds or even thousands of hours played. It's really puzzling because I've heard that most Emeralds placed in Gold, but then the Gold players I played with during placements hit Gold for the first time ever?? Thankfully, after those godawful placements I landed in Gold 3, so the climb back to Emerald will be far quicker than starting all the way up from Copper! All in all I'm satisfied so far, but I think I've given my Ranked 3.0 shitter teammates too much benefit of the doubt. From now on, I'm just going to assume my teammates will be the most dogshit, mouthbreathing cavemen imaginable and that should save me some astonishment lol.It's pretty damn scary that the average R6 player is legitimately that bad, though.
>>26020081. no, ranked 3.0 intentionally put people in lower ranks (like champs in silver) to make people grind and inflate playercount/play time2. hit registration is completely out the window this season, it's legit unplayable.>>2608512you are experiencing exactly what ranked 3.0 wants.you will now grind for days on end to get back to emerald, making the game look more alive.you will never actually get back there because they've cooked the matches. they're now using cheaters to make impossible to win matches.
>>2602008After being back for a few days, it's a lot more even. It does feel like everyone got bumped down a tier but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Mid-plat feels like high emerald did last season.The 14-16 year olds with squeaky voices and huge egos are not taking it well, though. Way more ragers this season than the last few.
Why do so many people use Holo A when Holo B gives a less-obstructed and in my (subjective) opinion a better view?
>>2627953I switched to Holo B ages ago. It is genuinely a superior sight.
>>2627953Holo A's been the goto 1x sight since 2015. Most people just don't see enough of a reason to switch. B definitely has the better housing but I still slightly prefer A's reticle.
100 matches in, Dokkaebi is a real problem and I'm kind of shocked they haven't fixed her yet. They said Calypso isn't in every map pool now but it still is, so dunno what's up with that.Matchmaking is a little odd. It feels relatively balanced, except that everyone is a full rank and a half lower than they used to be. Bad news for ego but the matches haven't suffered really.Pros are bitching a lot about hackers but I've had less this season than I did in diamond last season so who knows.I don't personally think this super slow elo gain is healthy based on what everyone else seems to think but it doesn't really bother me, personally.Like and subscribe etc.
>>2627953it's about feel man... same reason 2.5x old acog is the standard magnified sight even with obstructed peripheral view.>>2631951>bitching a lot about hackersbro i ran into 3 cheater lobbies in a row last night. after 1 week of the new season, the spike was large and hasn't really tapered down from my experience. i am high diamond mmr, current emerald 2
>>2633284>same reason 2.5x old acog is the standard magnified sight even with obstructed peripheral view.ACOG is superior for holding long angles where a finer reticle is more important than peripheral vision. That being said 99% of players use it when they shouldn't and the other 2.5x sight is the best generalist sight.
The Y11S2.1 update drops tomorrow! Dokkaebi: Cooldown added to Jegeo Payload. Refinement Balancing for 7 Operators. Calypso Casino will no longer appear in every map ban phase. Multiple Fixes.
>>2631951Dokk isn't really a problem because she's bannable now desu.What I'm worried about now more than anything is the new RP gain/loss implementation- if you're a solo player and aren't lucky enough to have a winrate solidly and consistently over 50%, it seems as though it will be easier than ever to get perpetually hardstuck? Like, at the very least in Ranked 2.0 after 100 matches you'd start getting something similar to +25/-20. In Ranked 3.0, it seems as though you immediately get that same pattern of RP gain/loss right after placements. I'll have to see, but it just doesn't look like this current iteration of ranked is solo player friendly. If anything, it seems more punishing.
>>2634112>Dokk isn't really a problem because she's bannable now desu.if she was the only problem operator and you didn't also have shields, snake, deimos, grim, ram, etc to deal with. I get they want to buff attackers but I'm really sick of these fucking operators designed to assrape solo queuers specifically. if my other roamer is a retard who goes to camp under a desk on the other side of the map while I'm dealing with my phone ringing, deimos wallbanging me, and blitz chasing me around, what the fuck am I supposed to do?
>>2634223> Be you after getting gangbanged by Snake, Deimos, whoeever the fuck> Think to yourself: "Hm. Last round roaming didn't work for me. I know, I'll just stay in site this time."> Stay in site on some crutch operator with a scope like Aruni or Azami, or even do some very limited roaming directly near sites with BOSG Vigil> Increase chance of winningSimple as.IMPROVISE.ADAPT.OVERCOME.REMEMBER THE BASICS OF CQC
>>2634267>Think to yourself: "Hm. Last round roaming didn't work for me. I know, I'll just stay in site this time."and then attackers breach every wall and prefire you to death with 2 minutes to spare.>or even do some very limited roaming directly near sites with BOSG Vigilbrother I can't even get randoms to hold server on bank when I'm holding blue or to watch a flank cam when they're dead. at this point I expect asking the brainrotted tiktok negroids who play this game to do ANYTHING will make them do the exact opposite or they straight up throw to ragebait me.
>>2634394Well, look on the bright side anon:Sometimes you have to get fucked up the ass quite a few times before you know exactly how to fuck someone else up the ass in any given situation. Just bee yourself :)
>>2634112I mostly agree, but the fact that she's now just the first ban before Ace/Thermite doesn't really fix anything, it just kicks the can down the road. It's more of a sign of a problem than a solution. The cooldown on her calls announced today is a good start, will make it more possible to clutch against her, but I won't be surprised if everyone just keeps letting their phones pop.

Who actually plays Zero? Seems like a dead operator
>>2637040I love him but it takes time to set up
>>2526028yeah, nahsoloing is utterly fucked..If you're Plat-Emerald you're just going to be placed around Gold regardless of how many placements won, then get hardstuck Gold to low Plat unless you have a 55% to 60% win percentage at all times. Wake me up when Ubisoft tweaks the current elo gain and loss to not be within a fucking hair's width of eachother.not GG, faggots. Ranked 3.5 when? T_TEven playing solo in Overwatch is not this punishing, holy fuck
>>2637040Can be good if his team is playing around him but he's slow like Brava. Has arguably the best gun in the game after this buff. Really strong on big maps like Bank.
>>2638126> Has arguably the best gun in the game after this buff.Hilariously wrongBest guns in game are the faggot weapons with insanely high rates of fire that you can score panic headshots with due to Siege's wonky latency issues See: F2, R4C
>>2638147Nigger R4C is only a hair faster than the SC3K but SC3K hits like a fucking truck and has the fastest TTKs of any AR. Consistency is valuable in itself. No one hits headshots 100% of the time and if you want to spray head level 800 RPM is more than adequate for the job.
>>2638194CopeFirerate > DamageThat's why you get shit on with the SMG 12 before you can reactLearn the game sometime, my boyAbuse high firerate guns = win more gunfights
>>2638220>That's why you get shit on with the SMG 12 before you can reactSMG-12 recoil is a dice roll past sneezing range. SC3K isn't. That's like saying shotguns are unbeatable if all your enemies are retards who run at you around a corner.
>>2638268Not at all, the SMG 12 and other super high firerate guns can shit on you at all distances if they're aimed around even vaguely head height. Unfortunately that's just part of how Siege works due to client/server latency. Your "muh damage" yapping does not change that. Why else do you think you can peek someone and then you die before you even know what happened?C'mon now
>>2638345>Not at all, the SMG 12 and other super high firerate guns can shit on you at all distances if they're aimed around even vaguely head height.If you don't hit the head in the first 3 bullets SC3K beats you with bodyshots. Hitting the head with followup shots is going to be easier with SC3K's predictable recoil and ACOG. Just because SMG-12 occasionally gives you a lucky headshot you didn't deserve does not make it the best gun in the game if it can't do it consistently at the same range ARs and DMRs are effective at.>Your "muh damage" yapping does not change thatIf headshots were all that mattered pros wouldn't be seething about DMRs right now.
>>2638383> Bringing up pros> Purposely ignoring the fact that all the pro players that happen to be renowned for fragging mysteriously use the guns with the highest fireratesDMRs are used because they are the only defender guns that have ACOG outside of slug shotguns.Are you being this retarded on purpose?
>>2638399>Purposely ignoring the fact that all the pro players that happen to be renowned for fragging mysteriously use the guns with the highest fireratesNo shit fraggers get put on entry roles where DMRs are not as good. DMRs have an entirely different role and they are overpowered in that role. SC3K has DMR's upside of an insanely fast TTK and an AR's firerate for entry when needed.>DMRs are used because they are the only defender guns that have ACOG outside of slug shotguns.I'm not talking about about defender DMRs at all.
>>2638486> No shit fraggers get put on entry roles where DMRs are not as good.Why are you hyperfixating on DMRs right now? My point is: high firerate guns are the meta. DMRs can be too of course, but you will never see Stompn, Spoit, or Shaiiko on some garbo low firerate gun because they will die 8/10 times. That is how the game actually works.You brought up pros, but that example has worked against you lol.IDK what else to tell ya, man.Get good at the game sometime
>>2638544You don't win rounds with 5 entry fraggers. Cutoffs and ghost pressure from DMRs helps set up entries to get those kills to begin with.
>>2526028Whelp.As someone who started playing Siege in "Crimson Heist", and has been playing solo ranked since "Crystal Guard", I have to say:This season, which has been the introduction of Ranked 3.00, has been the most utterly impossible, excruciating season of any competitive FPS that I've ever played. I'll spare you all the whining on my part, but something feels VERY, VERY wrong with the current quality of random teammates. In all my years of playing R6, I've never seen anyone have a performance stat-line of 0/10/0. Earlier tonight, for the first time ever, someone on my team literally put up those exact numbers. And they weren't trolling, either. They were actually trying their hardest. That was their very best.For what it's worth, I feel as though I can confidently say that the prior iteration of ranked was 100% better for anyone without a stack. I implore anyone reading this: do not under any circumstances play this season if you are a solo. Wait until Ranked 3.00 is potentially tweaked to be more forgiving regarding the allotment of MMR. P.S. Look at my KDA in "Solar Raid"...I was actually pro player tier. I don't know what I did or how I played that particular season, but I've never been able to recreate that peak. I was a demon and I still can't recall exactly how. :/
>>2643847What region, anon?
>>2643847Ubisoft is just doubling down on the fact that ranked in this game is not meant to be played solo, and if you're playing ranked solo, you're doing it wrong.
>>2643847it's two fold, what >>2643967 said, despite the fact that there is a massive solo Q playerbase, because ubishit doesnt actually listen.and, they're destroying people's ranks so you'll be more likely to grind, which increases player time/count.the game is dying, but rather than actually fix their only profitable game, they'd rather artificially inflate numbers and let this corpse rot.in my most cynical mind, because this is evil bad shooting gun game, with an evil bad, toxic community.
>>2643967Siege being a 5 stack game I can live with but Ubisoft has to create an official platform for finding stacks that isn't a fucking discord.
>DMRs getting nerfed. Defenders first.>SMG-12 nerf later down the road.>Mute and Tub will counter Dokk again.>1v1 returning with tweaks and ranks.>Attrition returning.>1v1 and Attrition may become permanent.>Big Zof buffs coming soon.>Rollback will now revert stats too.How we feeling boys?

it's weird that this game and valorant has no presence on /vg/, almost every gamer i know plays either or both
>>2526030Dokk being a manipulative sociopath makes her a lot more endearing. Her Clash interaction made me laugh out loud.
>>2655950same as cs2, what's your point?there is nothing to discuss in these games except competitive aspects
