Designer notes for Y3S2 balance changes: https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-us/news/152-330860-16/ IQ confirmed losing her frags. gently caress I knew they were going to do it. She's "too good" and getting picked even with Valkyrie and Echo are banned so gotta make her weaker! Castle getting a "big time rework" in the distant future Dokki losing claymore bummer

I can't believe the changes made to Jackal have actually bumped him up from being the worst attacker. lol at simultaneously identifying IQ as "a 3 Speed Operator with a very strong rifle" but refusing to do anything about that to instead tinker with her gadgets a bit Wooper fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jul 18, 2018 |

I don't understand taking the frags away from IQ. If you're heading in that direction you might as well remove Pulse's C4 too. I think the Dok and barb changes are good. Maestro is absolutely overpowered in bomb at the moment. Ubisoft is smoking crack. I'll say it again, make Castle's barricades completely seal off the doorway.

It's 100% Pro League motivated, she's picked a ton. There's so much they could do. They could make Mute jammers actually jam her device. They could make it run on battery and have it recharge. They could make it harder to see the "real" world through the screen so she was more vulnerable. Instead they did it the laziest way possible. The best part is they've announced they're going to be making 'drastic' changes to her in the future. Great. BTW they're working on making Frost's traps "less binary" so take that as you will Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jul 18, 2018 |

Just a reminder that the lead gameplay designer on Rainbow Six Siege was the old lead gameplay designer of For Honor and For Honor was an absolute steaming mess on release and for the first 9 months, they literally had to rework and patch every single character. High level play was literally not viable outside of 3 characters and revolved around spamming a couple of moves. It was one of the worst games I'd ever seen, from a game design perspective.

Now that I have an additional 60 or so hours ontop of when I first said this, I still think they should change Mute's jammers should be more effective. Don't need to go overboard but definitely increase the range for some of it's utilities. A dokks call should be wasted if you're in the same side of a room of a jammer etc. Jammers only affecting a what 2 ft circle? seems really pathetic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnDuK7J0q3E I made another tiny video, where I dunk a rushing blitz and monty, fight a flashbang with a C4, and apologize right now for the loud boys in discord that crew is not my normal crew and they are kinda annoying one guy later on was playing music from his phone.... and singing.... I mean jesus. They only play casual tho and I'm pretty much moved over to ranked placed Gold 1 bb (but am now at gold 2)

imo the most interesting thing about the update is that the speed reduction effect from barbed wire is getting buffed which is obviously directly related to the finka/smoke changes but also generally just cool there aren't any outright  changes except IQ losing frags but they seem to at least have an actual reason for all of this with glaz/twitch dps finally becoming more normalizedglaz players might have reason to complain since the is the closest thing we have to a pure sniper but lol @ having sympathy for AWP-types Twitch players have been using the famas as a crutch for way too long and it has only become more apparent since they gutted her taser ammo since the rifle now has had way more uptime as a result lmao

37 isn't low enough for the FAMAS, you could literally drop it to SMG damage and it would still be one of if not the best assault rifles in the game, just because it's a 1000rpm gun with fairly low recoil.

Again, giving a lot of props to the sound design of Siege, that meaty *KLUNK* of the Frostmat is one of the most satisfying sounds in the game.

So having finally given up on playing Casual (by myself at least; with friends it's a bit more bearable) and started playing more Ranked and I'm having way more fun with it. That also led to this awesome play tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY0iRtRrnLw I already have iffy aim, but man, my heart was pounding and I was super nervous so I miss Jackal more than I should have. I turned it around though and sadly we still lost the game since we were down a man and eventually the other team won out. We did go to full overtime at least.

Frost is probably my most played defender, but man, I'd stop playing her in a heartbeat if the traps weren't so dangerous. I don't really like her weapons so the only way I get the jollies is the solid knowledge that if someone makes a mistake, they are actually going to feel it rather than getting a slap on the wrist. There's a special kind of brain worm pleasure that comes from someone picking ash and speeding through the building and getting killed without firing a bullet, or glaz who spends 3 minutes and 50 seconds outside the building, only to die immediately when he finally bothers to rappel into a window.

I really don't understand the way they approach balancing in this game. They seem content to just look at The Numbers, single out whoever's being picked most and give them an entirely arbitrary nerf that has nothing to do with why they're actually over-picked in the first place, like the initial Ela non-nerf or the change to Vigil's cloak. The exception being Ash for some reason, who's in a good place? It's hard to avoid the feeling that they just watch the Pro League instead of playing their own game.
