I wish they added some sort of matchmaking in Casual as well. Getting stomped by lvl 50+ with Gold or above while trying to learn my way around just annoys the hell out of me.

Casual has the same matchmaking as ranked but with a separate, hidden MMR.

supposedly has its own rating system that mirrors ranked

the main drawback to this is that playing with friends and going on huge win streaks will absolutely boost you to the point where you will face high tier players more often ...including ones that boosted to the highest they could get the jpeg next to their name to be and only play for k:d now

whereas most actual regular ranked players tend to solo que and the bronze/silver/gold tiers end up naturally being more stable in every way

that's the typical player. most players are in gold, because the distribution is skewed, probably intentionally. and you get above level 50 in maybe 1-2 weeks of consistent play.

There's only two things you need to know when you're learning the maps early on: girders in roofs always run north to south, and Fuze's fuses go boom from right to left.

The situations are actually pretty useful for getting a feel running around the base maps - after failing miserably many times, you'll find what's breakable and not.

According to someone in ranked play, not peeking as Rook is "nigging it." Or so I've been told.

Edit: it might have been "niggering." Someone else in voice agreed and someone in chat said "lol"

So apparently they’re bringing something called summer packs with that lesion skin, just like the outbreak packs. Haven’t seen much about it except a random reference on reddit. Did I miss the news?

Double welcome mats are my jam, it doesn't always work, but when it does it's amazing. However, those 1/100 moments when you actually catch two people into a double stacked window trap are the best Siege has to offer.

hostage is easily the best gamemode and most fitting to what Rainbow 6 "should" be doing even though they're all fighting each other so lol. bomb is also good and the perfect counterpart because attackers have an inherent advantage almost all the time as the defense is split between 2 sites

but container is just hostage mode for people that simply want to spam their abilities as if it were ever hard to NOT kill the diamond icon in your hud that you can literally see through walls. it is the actual worst mode - especially when there is like 5 seconds left and all they have to do is vault into site to contest it or constantly step in/out which is one of the worst things to ever exist in this game.

also smoke/kapkan kick rear end in any ranked mode especially since their abilities are automatically buffed by the decreased timer.

Hostage makes for the best gameplay moments, stats be damned. I don't give a drat if 60% of the time the defends win because that's Stinkin' Thinkin' and you've already psyched yourself out. I want to rappel through a window and yank some helpless fool back out of it with me. Or go out in a blaze of glory trying to prevent that.

Container mode is boring in comparison. They should change the model of the container to be a hostage tied to a chair.

My favourite welcome mat trap was when I was with friends, and we put 4 deployable shields in a row in one of the plane hallways and mixed them in with two welcome mats and barbed wire everywhere. Thermite had the defuser, only got halfway, didn't check the middle for traps, and the defuser was stuck there for the rest of the round.
