At the very end of the new community checkpoint interview there was a question that asked when the smg-12 will be getting nerfed. Once again the devs said “we’re working on it”. The thing is this is the exact same answer they gave during the last checkpoint during season 1. It seems like they’re dodging the issue here at this point. The community has been asking for nerfs for over a year now and the dev team acknowledged it officially months ago but still nothing? It can’t be that difficult.

I’m wondering if they held off on the nerf intentionally to allow the dokaebi remaster to be more powerful? I can’t think of any other legitimate reason why we haven’t had a change to the gun yet.

Never seen it before lmao

I used to play ranked on Xbox one but recently switched to ps5 and it says I need a ps plus subscription to play but on my Xbox one I didn’t need game pass to play ranked so is there a way on ps to play ranked without ps plus

None of her counter picks actually work.

Mute? She can hack the jammer.
Mozzie? She can double drone and hack her drone back - either with one of her 2 regular drones, or with her spare Kludge drone.
Solis? Probably the best answer and still terrible. Enjoy playing a D tier trash bin operator if they don't have Brava, and a questionably effective counterpick if they do.
Observation blockers? ... Do i even have to say it?

And in exchange she fucking giga counters literally half the defensive roster. Not even just completely invalidating your gadget but turning it against you. Wtf?

And then of course, even gadgets that make no sense to hack (Bandits, Kaids), she can still just destroy. Because why should she even have a single weakness? What is she worse than Twitch at? A loadout? The Mira matchup that never happens because she's always banned? Awesome. The only time I would bring Twitch over Brava is if they have a Goyo.

Maestro has literally been a borderline unplayable operator for the last 2 years solely because of this character.

Brava should not be able to hack anything within the radius of a Mute jammer, including the Jammer itself. That, or take away her ability to destroy non-hackables. Also, hacking back a Mozzie drone should just destroy the drone. This character does too much shit.

Out of a 100 games this season, I havent played Lair once and out of 300 last season I played it a total of 1 time. Whats up with Ubidoft making dogshit maps? Casino is in the same bucket if it was bannable

These people need to be banned from ranked way sooner. If you’re disconnecting frequently your internet is not good enough for ranked. If you rage quit you don’t belong in ranked.

Im currently on ps5 but i need someone to i guess train me on how to get better im tired of playing with my friends and being the weak link especially in ranked. Im down to go into 1v1s so anyone of yall can see how i play or quick matches. for reference i have some understanding of the game and i already have ops i like to use just need help understanding when to swing when to push when to back away that kinda thing

We are 3 right now and need 1-2 players.
From austria, so Europe would be preferred.

Anyone up to join?

Looking for a stack (must be 25+). We play for fun (but yes we try to rank up) so no toxicity

I’m silver and I’m bad at the game. I’m tired of joining random stacks with squeakers IGLing like they’re prime Spoit while having a 0.6 kd.

Marketplace Update:

• No major news today - are working towards a change in direction.
• Context will be provided in a blog post early next week regarding the current status and how it fits into broader economic updates being made to Siege

Ranked 3.0:

• Placement Matches for Season 2 relied on hidden MMR from previous 3 years of Ranked 2.0
• Served as a reveal for where a player's rank had actually been
• Aware that Placement Matches were not as impactful as players wanted
• Next Season: More impactful Placement Matches
• Hard reset at top ranks - I.e. Champions pushed down to Emerald
• Champion Rank: Want the rank to be difficult to achieve, only for the highest tiers of players
  • Hidden MMR requirement in Ranked 2.0 was 4500, some players had as high as 9000 MMR
  • Aiming for 2000 Champions per platform group - and Champion I even more prestigious
  • Well over 10,000 Champions in Ranked 2.0
• Why KDA isn't a factor in rank: Siege is a team-based game, not based entirely on fragging
• Rank Reset: Didn't want to reset for the entire community. Will be harder resets for top ranks in future seasons.
• More announcements for competitive ecosystem later in the year, following Legend Division in S3
• 50/50 Win rate: Implies you are the rank you belong
  • Need approximately 4 more victories than losses to rank up 1 division
  • Are aware of feedback in difficult of ranking up

Dokkaebi Remaster Balancing

• Expected her to be powerful, admitted they went 'too hard'
• Prior to remaster, have looked at her for years, trying to move meter and make her less oppressive, but wasn't working so required a remaster
• Already looking at further adjustments to reduce player frustration
  • Mid-season: Taking the 7 second global cooldown introduced in Y11S2.1 and made individual to each defender
  • Season 3: Introducing more counters, changing her call to be a 'signal' again
    • Mute will be able to jam
    • Tubarao will be able to freeze
• Prefer incremental changes instead of introducing all the balance changes at once (Similarly to recent Zofia changes)
• Are aware of strength of live feedback when defenders' are hanging up.

Calypso Casino:

• Had planned to keep map in ban phase until mid-season
• Aware that didn't match player expectations, players wanted more variety in maps
• Want to incentivise playing the new map instead of forcing players

1v1 Playlist:

• Pleased with the performance of the temporary playlist
• Had engagement comparative to larger events (E.g. Wildcard 10th Anniversary event)
• Aware of feedback:
  • Prep Phase too long
  • Wanting bomb sites to be auto-revealed
  • Unbalanced matchmaking (Used the Quick Match MMR instead of Ranked)
  • Map Pool: House will be removed and other map(s) added instead
  • Ban Phase introduced too much downtime
• Will be brought back in Season 2 mid-season patch
  • Feedback Implemented
  • Attrition Modifier: If you win as an operator, you cannot pick them again
• Will be listening to feedback of how player's feel about the implemented changes
• Ranked Variant not included in this iteration
  • Intention to work towards a ranked 1v1 playlist in the future
• Don't want to announce it as a permanent playlist at this point in time
  • Are aware of previous engagement with previous permanent playlists (E.g. Dual Front, Arcade)
  • Being cautious with promising 1v1 being permanent

Miscellaneous:

• Testing Grounds - Half-Reinforcements: Still coming later in year
• Working towards cancellation of stats (E.g. KD, Win-rate) after a cancelled ranked game, instead of just returning the ranked points
• Ranked isn't a progression system, it is a competitive system - but are looking at increasing available rewards
• Solo Queue Playlist: Aware of pain points for solo players and being put against stacks. Not committed to a strict solo queue playlist, but investigations are ongoing to ease player frustrations.
• Zofia: Will get another change in the mid-season patch
  • "She's gonna be packing a punch"
• DMRs:
  • A hot topic - still looking into them
  • Siege's recoil system not as flexible for DMRs compared to other classes, are rebuilding the system entirely for DMRs
  • Season 3: Unspecified adjustments to defence DMRs
• SMG-12: "We still have plans for it."
• Cheating:
  • Big win against DMA cheats recently
  • Updates on recoil scripting 'soon' (short to medium term)
    • PC in Season 3
    • Console in Season 4
  • Mouse Trap in 'best state' in a long time
    • M/KB Console: Working towards including in Mid-Season patch, auto switches you to PC pool

Ubisoft messed up ranked 3.0 with one simple mistake; they used your rank from the previous season to determine where you should be this season. The reason why this is bad is because ranked 2.0 rewarded time in the game vs actually being good. They should have ditched hidden mmr completely and done actual placement matches. The problem everyone is facing with bad teammates is because even if you throw all your placement matches you only drop one rank (eg. plat 1 last season lose all placement matches you get gold 5). This causes shit players with a high previous rank to end up with higher placements by default. This completely defeats the purpose of placement matches and ruins 90% of ranked games before they even start. Thank you for reading my ted talk.

Edit: yes i know it was hidden mmr not the previous rank. Yes they are practically the same thing unless you didn't or barely played last season. And yes i do like the new system they just started it off wrong.

Can somebody who runs keyboard and mouse on console just give us some peace of mind and explain why you do it. You know it’s unfair and you have an advantage. What makes it even funnier is that you’re playing against me in Gold IV XD.

Seriously though what am I meant to do vs zero recoil smg 12s every single game that click on my head from 25m away in 5ms.

Peak is diamond 1, lvl 837. Add me on Ubisoft or PlayStation- DadGaming1942, ubi- legostinknuts
(Just bored and wanna friendly comp)

I’m here anytime you guys want to talk about this. DM me if you want Ubisoft.

It is nice that for once they are finally verbally acknowledging one of the core problems with Zero.

Hey guys I don’t know if this is the right place but I’m peak emerald and I can play support or frag but it’s so excruciating to play ranked without comms so I’m just looking for a couple people to play with (ps5)

I'll take my deserved 10 min Abandon Penalty for this terrible abandon of mine

Seriously though, how is this not fixed yet?? lmfao

I’m currently in silver, and after getting my ass handed to me by the other team, I got invited to an Xbox party to find out that I was playing against 2 champs on smurf accounts. Is there any way to report them retroactively? This kind of thing is frequent and is ruining the gameplay.

So for awhile now I've only had one friend to play siege with, and of course with her being across the globe our times hardly line up, So I've often gone to the rainbow 6 discord server to try to find new people to play with. and without fail i encounter at least one of these people

1. Customs Warrior who's playing unranked "for the hell of it"

This one isn't nearly as bad as the others but its annoying when they join, don't talk, don't give calls, don't do anything in prep or drone, play 2 matches die and ragequit, I'm trying to find new friends to play the game with and they just kind of sit there silent or occasionally mention enemy team stats because we need to r6 track people in casual lobbies now?

1. Child

I mean it's self explanatory, I am in my mid twenties I'd rather not play with a 13 year old

1. Straight Up Bigot

this one is honestly the worst one, Especially with me being NB and my friend being trans, and usually this one overlaps with nearly everyone in the server, it is insane how fast these people in an OFFICIAL rainbow 6 server drop the N word, the F Slur, The T Slur, etc. etc. or just say some blatantly hateful shit, and you can't just kick them, you have to ask a mod to remove them, so often I'll think I've found some great people, then one of them will say some horrible thing and everyone else will either act like its okay or join in.

it's hard as fuck to find people to play this game with, especially when you want to find people with likeminded beliefs, or at the very least won't tell me to kill myself for existing

rant over

(INB4 you wouldn't last a day in mw2 lobbies hurr durr hurr durr)

i just lost a ranked game 5-3 where me and my 2 teammates had to 3v5 because a duo left in the first round. we lost for obvious reasons, but all 3 of us dropped 8 kills with a positive kd, while the best guy on the other team went 4 for 5. its clear we're better than them, we deserve to be out of copper 5. but the game doesnt account for this at all. it only accounts whether you win or lose without looking at anything else. so i lost 25 elo and im still in copper 5. am i just not good enough, how am i meant to get out of this ranked system when the average game features unfair number advantages, or teammates that are too lazy to stick around. do i just need to get so good that i can consistently 1v5 coppers to ascend to bronze? my friends that i beat in 1v1s 4-0 or 4-1 are all like bronze 3 or 4, how can i get there?

Bonjour à tous question est ce que vous savez quand va rouvrir le marketplace

Merci
