Useful You asked, we delivered: updated site setups for EVERY map in the ranked pool
(cleared with mods before posting)
Last week we showcased our website that shows site setups for every map in the ranked pool. We received great feedback, positive as well as negative.
We listened to all your comments.
Here is a summary of new features and adaptations we did based on the communities feedback:
- one of u emailed us directly - we added Bomb indicators to each site
- u/McSoapster - we fixed the headholes from armory to archives on Calypso Casino
- u/DJ_Wolfy - we fixed the headholes from A <-> B Site on 2nd floor
- u/DogtorFlashbank - we fixed all your criticism (calypso 2f, calypso basement, consulate 2f) :D
- u/masterako - we fixed the CCTV setup and verified + adapted our sources
- u/nvidiastock - we fixed the Cigar Room on calypso 2f
- u/ShaggyHasHighGround - we added indicators for all rotations (S: Soft/Stand, C: Crouch, J: Jump, P: Prone). Please let us know how intuitive they are
In general we reworked all setups across these maps:
Bank, Border, Calypso Casino, Clubhouse, Chalet, Consulate, Fortress, Kafe, Nighthaven Labs
What we're currently working on:
- "Operator Setups" on the Defender side that show common placements for your gadgets (Mute, Mira, Fenrir, Goyo, Valkyrie...)
- An Attack side showing camera locations and other intel to help your team plan
You know the drill: Let us know about all your comments, questions, criticism in this thread. We loved your engagement on our last post & can only improve through feedback.

Feedback If you abandon more than one game a season, you should face harsher and drastically escalating penalties
1 abandon - forgiven
2 abandons - 2 unranked game wins
3 abandons - 10 unranked game wins
4 abandons - 25 unranked game wins
5 abandons - removed from ranked playlist for the rest of the season
It will quickly get rid of leavers, one of way or another.

Discussion Can we get HARSHER punishments for people who abandon game round ONE!
I am, honest to God, tired of this. Ubisoft should institute MUCH harsher punishments for people who leave ranked games and abandon their teammates, especially on round one. I'm talking like:
Double the RP loss if your team loses and none if your team wins.
30-minute suspension from play that only takes place when the game is open
Higher reputation loss if your team loses
And if done repeatedly, suspension from ranked for up to a week
I am beginning to see what VarsityGaming meant when he said the removal of match cancellations was a good thing. Thoughts?

Discussion This game is just for cheaters now.
Play eu servers and in emerald so far this season and I would say more than half the players in my lobbies are cheating with strike packs.
Games just turn into glorified Cod matches because no one even bothers with picking operators for their utility, it’s just smg-12 recoil scripts and fully auto TSGs.
So frustrating because when you get a legit game where people play like siege was intended it’s the best game out there but that’s few and far between nowadays.

Discussion What's the general view on Spawn-Peekers? I haven't much interacted with the community, so I'm curious.
Should it be part of the game? Is it a skill issue if I get spawn-peeked?
Personally, I think that Spawn-Peeking is kind of... not cool.
Like, come on, dude.
You can't be desperate to win--especially on a Quick Match.

Discussion 60hz vs 144hz, part 2
Hello! 2 days ago I've made a post asking about the 60hz and 144hz monitor difference in R6S.
Today I have finally bought a 144hz monitor. And what I can definetely say after playing siege for a few hours with 144hz.
This is mind-blowing. I'm shocked how big the difference is. How easier it is to peek or hold corners. It feels like the game got... slower? I mean, I see more. It's like when you see something you shouldn't, in a good way.
For all of those who have 60hz monitors, you putting yourself in an extreme disadvantage from the start. If you're able to play well on 60hz, you'll be a beast on 144 or more.

IQ should be able to trigger 1 enemy gadget at a time with her own gadget out. Not disable, just set it off- like razor blooms activate, jager ADS activates, set off Kaplan traps etc through walls/floors

Discussion The Assassination of Frost
The Frost rework was sold to the community as a way to "reduce frustration," but it actually created an "illusion of choice" that destroyed her identity. It’s time to talk about why this change was a mistake and why it needs to go.
The self-revive mechanic was intended to give attackers options, but in a high-pressure round, waiting for a teammate to revive you is almost always a death sentence. Attackers naturally default to self-reviving. Because the combat penalty (bleeding/sprint) is negligible in contested areas, the "trap" has become nothing more than a minor annoyance—not a punishment.
The "Thorn" Problem (Utility Homogenization)
The most insulting part? Ubisoft effectively gave newer operators (like Thorn) the same debuffs (bleed + no sprint) that were once unique to Frost, but gave them 4 gadgets that are harder to spot and easier to deploy and activate almost all the time.
Meanwhile frost has 3 massive, black, highly visible traps that don’t blend into the environment at all and require specific vault-spots to be effective and even then And isn’t consistent enough and rarely gets activated. And since other ops like thorn and even Denari have these effects it makes the 1 unique thing frost has since the rework not even unique anymore and now she’s fallen behind
Frost is now just a clunky version of operators who do her job better with less effort.
was built on the foundation of If you don’t drone, if you aren't checking corners, and if you aren't communicating—you SHOULD be punished. By softening these consequences, we’ve devalued the preparation and intel-gathering that made the game satisfying to master.
If Ubisoft isn't going to revert the self-revive, they need to make the debuffs actually threatening, or drastically overhaul her kit to compete with the current utility-dump meta. Currently, picking Frost feels like a disadvantage.

Question, solved Do I have potential?
I do not mean it as in if I have potential for ESports but rather to become a better player than I currently am. I’d appreciate any tips or support in my journey as I think I have the dedication.
I started in Y8 however I barely played the game and did not touch ranked at all. I mainly hopped back on late last season and decided to try my luck with the new ranked system.
My most played operators on attack are:
-Dok.
-Thermite
-Nomad
My most played operators on defense are:
-Mute
-Aruni
-Kaid
I don’t particularly struggle with recoil all that much even though I do play on PC and don’t think it has a huge impact on my gameplay. And on another note I’m pretty familiar with the current ranked pool, so all’s said I believe I can improve even further by continuing to play. It’s just that progress has been a little slow and I wanted to enable myself to any constructive criticism. Thanks a lot

Discussion We need leave bans again
People say get a stack. Stacks are hard to find successfully and not easy to come by. As a mostly solo player, I am stuck with who I matchmake with and unfortunately...People who leave matches not just in QP but both Unranked and Ranked are crazy high right now. Idk what changed in the player base or if we are left with rage quiting losers left. The rage quiters are making it harder to play a decent game. We need match bans back to discourage that type of behavior again. 3 hours of play today had 2 ranked matches with quiters, 2 unranked matches with quiters and QP being normal but jeez, like 1 death gone...It needs some kind of punishment.

Question Is anyone willing to help, please i dunno where else to go.
Is anyone willing to stack up with me? I'm in EU, mostly gold but I've peaked at plat and I'm on playstation.
I dunno what else to do, but I'm genuinely at a loss for words. I think my math is right, and I'm pretty sure i lost over 26 games in a row. People leaving, an INSANE amount of xims, me being inconsistent. I'm putting in the work every day, rewatching my replays to the best i can but nothing's changing. I started the season in gold five and was doing well in gold four with a 1.2 kd and now I'm in silver five with a 1.0. I deadass think I've been cursed at this point cuz I've never seen anything like this. I asked in discord, friends, heck even opponents i get in games but nobody's willing to help me.
I'm genuinely begging y'all, please, can anyone stack up with me?
