I think this is the worst the matchmaking has been in a really long time. Like, our MMR is probably a bit above our rank, but it's not THAT far. What the fuck.

We also only lost 10 points, and all the rest of the games tonight have been 35-45, so the system knew completely that it was handing us a guaranteed loss and just sent it anyway.

In the eyes of ubi more poor quality games are better than fewer good quality games. matchmaker goes brrrr

Bros. A random PC solo player made it to Champ in 500 matches with a winrate of 49%.

Link: https://old.r*ddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/1xhu218/finally_done_it/?sort=top

This fills me with hope. I know Ranked 3.0 is a dumpster fire, but if that guy could make it just by leveraging statistics and playing an enormous sample size of matches- is there hope for all of us as well?

Are we all going to make it, after all??

im a new player who plays solo.. is it really that hard ot climb solo? is this game even solo friendly or should i quit?
>>
>>3135829
it's a very steep learning curve
you either need crackhead aim or 300 iq to climb to champ solo and it's still gonna be painful
>>
>>3132211
I solo Q'd champ in 2.0 and hit diamond every season in 3.0
champ is totally do-able if your aim is good and you can grind the matches (mine is bad)

>>3135829
I enjoy solo queueing but there's a lot to learn and it can be super punishing. if you're new. Don't expect to reach champ or even emerald without dedicating a lot of time to learning the game
>>
>>3135829
If you're good at playing Unranked solo, you'll likely be fine at playing Ranked solo.
Just focus on your aim, knowledge of basic strats on defense/default pushes on attack, which operator to play in which scenario, and memorize simple callouts.

In Ranked especially though, if you lose a gunfight you NEED to be able to give the proper callout of where you died, and occasionally even which operator killed you in particular. (Like, say for example a very dangerous operator like Blitz just killed you on "Cool vibes" stairs. If you don't know where the fuck Cool vibes is, you are not ready to solo Ranked.)
>>
idk why but peaking higher in ranked 3.0 then i did in 2.0 feels good albeit by not much rp difference.
>>
>>3153004
How in the fuck do you people routinely lose most of your gunfights and have a KD barely around 1, but still make it to almost Diamond?? Do you just stack and get carried?
>>
>>3153918
It's called not having a room temp iq.
>>
>>3155559
Then why can't you use that same magical big-brain IQ to actually win your gunfights? That's just weird, bro. I wouldn't want to have you on my team in ranked because you'd probably fumble a clutch 1v1 against a particularly sweaty Plat or even a Gold, yeeshhhhh
>>
>>3158146
Are you somehow implying that clicking heads fast correlates to intelligence?
There's a reason why high KD timmies can't rank up.
>>
>>3158164
Are you implying that you can't have game intelligence and also click heads fast? My point is that it's far better to have a high rank and also a respectable KD than to be one of those weirdo players with a high rank but a bizarrely low KD that makes their teammates hesitant to guess whether or not you'll be able to win basic clutches.
I'd rather have the guy on my team that's like, Emerald 3 with a KD of 1.20 than a Champ with a KD of 1.05. The Emerald player at the very least would have a statistical history of winning duels and decent probability of having the potential "clutch factor" that particular Champ player most likely would not have desu
>>
>>3158306
I'd rather have the opposite. Assuming they weren't boosted they would have to have good teamwork and decision making skills to make up the difference. I will take a teammate who actively communicates and will get on cams when I fucking ask them to than a silent fragger who is on tiktok between rounds any day of the fucking week. That player is going to be more consistent than an aimbro who is either going to carry or throw depending on how many cups of coffee he had.
>>
What the fug did the frogmen do to the game? Holy shit how did they manage to make peekers advantage worse than it was? Their animation smoothing is completely fucking nuts and player model is delayed by multiple seconds very often. I can see bullet tracers coming from an empty space, then a player walks up to that spot 2 seconds later. This is RIDICULOUS, THE WORST code in the history of videogames.
Peekers advantage was always bad in this game but it was never THIS FUCKING BAD
>>
>>3158306
1 KD is not fucking low by any means, if you get matched against players with the same level of skill that's what you get, retard.
You farm high KD by doing dumb shit like sit in spawn or anchor away from objective and make the other team rush you 5v1 when all your teammates have dying actually trying to win the round.
>>
>>3105270
Of course, I imagine battlepass sales plummeted because of it. How could they sell you new shitty skins when you could just buy good old skins cheap?
>>

Megacope, that is pitiful desu. How do you guys live in this bizarro world where you're all so good at the game, but can't hold a KD above 1 lol?

the maps in this game are the sweatiest shit imaginable. Normally maps hold some semblance of real world logic, but all the maps are like they put the arschitect on PCP and threatened him with beatings if he designed any room with less than three entryways and two windows. It doesn't help that my solo queue team mates either run around like crackheads or straight up die holding their angles. How the fuck do you git gud at this game
>>
>>3166956
Old maps at least had some patterns that were easy to figure out. New maps are straight up mazes that look like they were generated by AI and it's impossible to figure out what is a half wall and what is a fucking table. Finding stairs that lead to the floor you want is an impossible task. They even added a fucking minimap and it doesn't show stairs.
>>
>>3166956
Load up a custom game and LEARN NIGGA
Old maps were extremely one sided and/or had a dominant strategy that made them very repetitive

>>3159190
It is worst than ever. I returned after a 4 year break and it's ridiculous. This has basically always been the case. In the past, you couldn't just rat in a corner and wait for an enemy, they had a slight advantage. Now the gap is larger.
The funny part is that someone (probably devs) forced the term "peeker's advantage" instead of bad netcode.
>>
>>3171097
I am 100% confident the issue is that there is a huge delay in animations because they want to make them looks smooth. Netcode isn't even that bad because you can see bullet tracers, just not the actual player model. The worst part is happening on client side, which is ridiculous.

Faze is going to win like usual or end up in the top 3 like always
R6 Esports is doomed so long as Faze continues to have a stranglehold on the entire scene because all the other teams are usually too damn weak to put up any major competition against them.
Boring as shit.

Anyone on PC in US who wants to play? Looking for chill players who want to improve.
Skill level doesn't matter as long as you're actually trying and don't go afk during prep.
Unranked or ranked is fine. Don't add me if you're TDM brained.

Are shotguns just useless? Every time I use one on a longer distance then 3m, I do apparently no damage at all as the pother guy jsut turns around and blasts me. Also prefiring or headshots aren't a thing with those. The only kills I got with them are from shooting someone in the face at literally point blank range. Am I bad or is it the guns?
>>
>>3178695
Are you talking about offense or defense? On offense yeah they're pretty terrible and you either need to rush to try and catch defenders off guard or take a short range route where you are always in 1 pump range.

On defense consider oregon 2f as an example of a good shotgun site. Attackers pushing attic? Hold drop. Trophy? Hold beaulo. Stairs? Top white. Etc. You want to position yourself so that you can swing them right before they round the corner and the only place they can be when you do is within your shotgun range. Having good headphones and a trap for a sound cue or to slow them down helps a lot.

Shotgun beats every other weapon when used correctly. It is much easier to land a single bodyshot than to hit a flick headshot with latency disadvantage. Apply this logic to your positioning on other maps and you'll have more success. If you absolutely have to hold an angle with a shotgun go prone and be as close to the corner as possible (keep in mind gun barrel sticking out). Attackers will have their guns up and the viewmodel will make it hard to see you on the floor that close. Good players will hear the prone sound so either wait for noise or make your own as you do.

It sounds like you don't have a good feel for shotgun range yet. Whenever you are not in 1tap range you should swap to your secondary. Not that it can't work but you'll need good movement and ideally the element of surprise to win longer range gunfights. The other main benefit of shotguns is site setup which is why operators like smoke and mute are played so much at a high level. Site setup gives you a huge advantage.

>Also prefiring or headshots aren't a thing with those
Headshots do 50% extra damage iirc but in general I would aim for the upper torso instead of praying for good rng. Also if you didn't know using ADS tightens shotgun spread significantly so don't go for hipfire if you can avoid it. Laser also used to tighten spread but I think they fixed that bug.

Lol people are getting butthurt now that ostensibly there's going to be a separate ranked solo/duo queue and a separate ranked flex queue, which potentially means doomstacks might not be able to queue up ranked anymore.

Stack-faggots are enraged and want to believe that solos never communicate over the mic, therefore a solo queuing lane shouldn't exist. Funnily enough, last time I solo'd and wound up playing with a stack, the stack literally did not give me any comms because they were all jerking off with eachother in discord. I guarantee that if I would've played poorly though, one of them would've hopped out of discord just to join game chat and talk shit.

Let's see how this all plays out, boys. I'm thinking stackers might get fucked while we solos are going to be pleasantly surprised. :3
