I believe the devs said during the tournament that the next 2 operators after finka/lion will be defense.

I don't think they specified that it was the next 2 ops, but that one of this year's updates will have 2 defenders.

Knowing Ubi, next season's defenders are both going to be trap operators.

Dunno, these two attackers seem to be strong anti-spawnpeeking ops. I think they'll try something different with the defenders too to keep switching up the meta.

Does causing deployable shields to break if walked on mean you can effectively no longer put them in skinny hallways? That was their only use.

You can vault over them just fine, you just can't vault onto them. It's a fix for people abusing it to spawn peek out of windows you normally couldn't.

"DEPLOYABLE SHIELD WALKING
You can no longer walk on deployable shields. At any instant that an operator is considered walking on the shield, it will collapse on itself (be destroyed) and the shield is refunded in the inventory of the defender that placed it. That will prevent players from utilizing exploits by walking on a shield."

Does the TTS have the changes to have all unlocks for operators you own? I didn't see anything about it in the patch notes, and now I'm sad all the qol changes are gonna be some time later this year instead of right after the sale they just did.

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

Oh man, they claim to have fixed the weird rotation sync problem while vaulting. It's just a visual bug, but it will make me feel a lot better.

No longer will people shoot me 90 degrees from their barrel direction!

Also Kapkan impacts will be nice.

Had this happen last night when I peaked out a window on Oregon, where Ash was repelling up, and I started to line up my sights, and died, even though she was still scrambling up. And in the kill cam, she already had her gun up and aimed at me. Very lame.

I know this doesn't matter and those dudes suck, but a few tips, nonetheless:

Always run the bearing 9 as a secondary for Echo/Hibana. There is no reason to pick the pistol. The bearing is a fantastic secondary and one of the best. I'd recommend a shield to help camp in corners while you are on your drone, but barb can be useful to slow ops down when you hit them with your Yokai if you're certain you have a safe spot when droning. If you are solo queueing, I'd recommend the shield so you don't have to worry about a pubbie watching your back (they most likely won't).

I would recommend the 590, mac11, and barb as a loadout for Smoke. The main benefit being the shotgun is more utility than two impacts, the mac11 is the best weapon SAS is provided hands-down, and barb helps trap guys inside the AOE range of your cannisters.

As far as the team killing goes, if they do it once they most likely will continue. I'd do my reporting to Fairfight, grab my video footage of them when it is blatant, and leave the match. It appears they were a four stack and anything you did was not likely going to change their minds. Best not to waste your time or become anymore angry over it and just move on to the next game.

Try playing ranked more. You still run into assholes like this but they aren't as common as people tend to want to win games and not get temp banned from queueing for team killing. It has the added benefit of allowing you to pick your spawn point as well.

EDIT: It appears he is on PSN.

Thanks for the load out tips.

I'd appreciate any all advice when it comes to that.

As for casual v. Ranked, I always like to run a casual 1st, as a warm up. And that's what that was. My 1st game of the day.

I submitted a case to ubi, with both videos attached.

people can be real big assholes. I've been TK'd for using a mic, and using it normally, not spamming. just calling out where I've seen people, if I kill someone I'll ID them, asking for backup. some people just wanna poo poo on your enjoyment. the worst is when you're put with a group, they just take turns TKing to avoid getting kicked. or when you're tryharding in a ranked match, and then a teammate gets tilted / salty for no reason and decides to start TKing when the game is neck and neck and either team can win. those ones really get me.

Don't mention it. I play on both the PC and XBOX and the console is a metric fuckton worse than the PC if you ignore the racist text chat. I'm assuming it has to do with Ubi not having full control of the user-base the way they do uplay accounts (I've never heard of Fairfight reporting having any affect on the XBOX, for what its worth).

You can set your matchmaking settings in the options to limit what types of T-Hunt games you play. Disabling the protect hostage mode will allow you to queue into attack only matches. It's a great way to get a few quick games in to warm up your aim. There are still griefers in T-Hunt, but the games are quick and you can instantly re-queue to quickly get into another one without wasting too much time.

I can't wait to sprint at stuff but still be unable to flash anyone because they are >2 meters away, and I'll get killed from leg or side shots first.

I remain skeptical that it will be game defining, but I could easily be wrong. We will have to wait and see.
