Assuming he doesn't get toned down, Blitz is going to be cool with the Pick and Ban system, because if you let him through you have a plan for dealing with him. Which means your opponent might not pick him, which means you might not have a plan for dealing with him. I love that kind of nonsense.

I have faith that there's going to be an entire gamut of strategies around Blitz-baiting.

Assuming he doesn't get changed (he feels more like a Speed 3 in the vids)

If they do make a sequel to Rainbow Six Siege it will most likely be in the form of a total overhaul of the existing game. They'll say something like it's an "engine overhaul" but really they'll be migrating existing assets to a new game.

Also I have the feeling that this Outbreak mode is going to post up some HUGE numbers and get them thinking about more single player content.

Well, I guess no dupes will make it sting less. All in.

Please don't buy the drat Outbreak packs, if you go "all in" they're going to lock an increasing amount of stuff behind their stupid RNG gamble boxes rather than the good way they've been doing it, which is - check this out - letting you buy the poo poo you want to buy at a price they set.

attachments are dirt cheap so we're only talking like 2k renown here but it just so happens that many of the cool skins and bundles cost about as much as a DLC operators.

veterans that bought season passes already spent all that extra renown outfitting every operator in the game.

It costs 5k renown to unlock all Ops in a CTU, there are 5 CTUs, so 25k Renown there.

+ ~400 renown for each op to get them scoped and gripped, so that's 20 * 400 = 8k more renown. Total 33k.

A ha! Enough renown to unlock Finka or Lion on the first day of the new season without buying the season pass, we can't have that!

Elysiume posted:

Each team gets to ban two operatives so the other team can't pick them in a given round. Curious how it'd work with only two hard breachers.

To clarify: neither team can pick them. So if Team 1 bans Lion and Mute, and Team 2 bans Hibana and Bandit, that means those four operators are out for the entire duration of the map, for both teams, when attacking and defending.

I imagine we'll see lots of Mira and Lion bans (if Lion doesn't get toned down because he's 100% pickrate at the moment)

Weird, I don't see the benefit of lion at my level of play. Too brief an effect, and too easy to beat. Course, I'm no mlg, so I guess I'm just missing something.

Watch last week's games, EG uses him to absolutely brutal effect and not just to defend defuser plants. There's lots of situations where they drone out a defender, cut him off or pressure him, then call in a Lion scan and give them the Sophie's Choice of moving and dying or not moving and dying.

The "voting to kick a guy who couldn't clutch a 1v4" thing is hilarious to me. I will never vote to kick anyone who fails to pull it out and in fact the harder they gently caress it up the funnier it is. The last operator being piss scared, creeping around for 40 seconds burning time, then realizing the round is almost over and blundering into the objective only to hit a Frost trap and then die to a Lesion mine while 3 anchors teabag in each corner of the room...good stuff!

People are missing the very obvious connection that the auto turret is for Tachanka.

Also the Italian CTU is going to have an attacker and a defender like all the others, the defender has a hologram, so that means Maestro is the attacker and an auto-turret would be a very strange thing to have in that role (kind of like a super-claymore I guess)

LOL Lion is getting rocked. Down to 2 scans, the outline stops the moment you stop moving, and the cooldown is doubled to 20 seconds.

Get_Flanked had a good idea, he said Lion should have to look at his arm for the entire scan wind-up and execution, so he was basically out of the fight for the duration of the scan. So the Defenders know that the Attackers are a man down for the whole scan.
