keyframe posted:That's a solid counterpoint you got there. I mean his ability is useless in the double secret super pro-league that you play in where everyone gets headshots 100% of the time but down in the weeds of gold/plat we're giving and receiving plenty of shots to the body. (I have ~7000 kills and of those ~2000 are headshots.) Rook gives a 20% reduction in damage taken, the same as having level 3 armor except with no speed penalty. That's pretty drat good unless you're of the opinion that 2 and 3 armor characters are all super lovely because they have a large speed penalty in exchange for a completely useless 10 or 20% reduction in damage. Remaining standing with low health is vastly preferable to being dead. The fact that it guarantees you'll be DBNO is also extremely good since defenders are often behind hard cover which prevents the person shooting you from finishing you off. Also hardly anyone knows this but Rook's armor also doubles your bleed out time which makes it much easier to crawl to safety so a friendly can revive you. His ability is absolutely one of the best in the game. Yeah it's not very exciting to use but most of the time you're not changing up gadget placement in the middle of the game anyway. He's a fantastic pick for new players who want to use an ability that greatly helps the team that they can't possibly gently caress up while they focus on the most important part of the game, shooting people. Like, your argument is basically "Rook is bad because everyone I play with/against is better than the best players in the world." KnightRider posted:Rook is useless unless you are playing against silvers. At the higher levels everyone goes for headshots anyways, there are far better operators that can contribute way more to the team. Bandit/Mute, Jager, Mira, any trap operator. If you really want a Acog than play Doc or Echo. Then why does he have a consistently high pick rate in the pro-league? Who are you playing with that's so inhumanly good? I'm average at best in our group but we consistently face very good players from high gold to diamond and this fabled headshots only meta is mysteriously absent from our games. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jan 6, 2018 |

ZeusCannon posted:Cielings ok reinforce very important but floors? Why? Usually reinforcing the floor is pointless but there are a couple places like the bar on Chalet where it can be bad if the enemy is throwing frags up from below you into the small objective room. There's also a few places where it's detrimental to not open the floor like the game room on House where you can somewhat defend from below or at least use it to escape danger. Also IQ Commando chat: the Commando sucks on full auto because of the recoil but if you put a vertical grip and a muzzle brake on it and use the 3 shot burst mode it's really, really good. 3 body shots will kill/down anyone except 3 armor characters with Rook armor.

You can't shock ladders but you can shock deployable shields. If you put shock wire at the top of a ladder though they don't have any choice but to get shocked a good bit as they get to the top of the ladder since you can't shoot your gun while climbing. Also a very good strategy for Frost. People usually don't see the trap as they come up the ladder and they can't destroy it without a grenade even if they do see it in time. Works well at the bottom of ladders too since it's hard to see the bottom of the ladder from the top and people often just jump down without looking.

ZeusCannon posted:So im new to the game and didnt understand the love for fuse since i thought you had to use him on a wall or a cieling hatch but oh my god you can just slap that poo poo on the floor. It is so much more flexible than i first thought (sidenote : i am super dumb) Anywhere you can shoot through with a gun you can place a Fuze charge. Ying's gadget works the same way too, in addition to being throwable/rollable.

Cup Runneth Over posted:Another loving joke of an Ela nerf It's like when Blackbeard came out and they just couldn't grasp the concept that his shield itself was the problem and that no amount of nerfing his weapons or speed could counteract the fact that his shield was too powerful. Then they finally did the shield right but kept the other unnecessary nerfs and now he's pretty meh.

ZeusCannon posted:Im gonna be dumb again but yings device will pump flashbangs through a wall? I had no clue i knew they could be "attached" but figured they meant like a mine or something. Yup. A neat trick with windows is to punch the barricade once on the bottom where it overlaps the wall, then put a Ying thing on it, then you should be able to just jump through as it's going off.

Perestroika posted:What is even the point of the damage "nerf" on Ash? It doesn't seem to influence shots to kill whatsoever. Is there even any conceivable edge case where it would now not kill a dude where before it would have? There's a linear damage falloff at range so there are lots of random times it'll matter, as well as situations where random damage from explosives and stuff are in play. Plus times when the same player is shot by another person with a gun with different damage values. It's pretty minor but I wouldn't say it's totally inconsequential. But yeah I don't believe it changes shots to kill in any situation at close range, at least for body shots.

Most of the clan guys aren't super good and they tend to be huge babies. Map knowledge and decent teamwork will get you to high gold or low plat even if you're dogshit at shooting and slow as molasses like me. After that the players tend to be inhumanly fast and very aggressive. So yeah Adderall is probably a good choice.

Plat 1s and diamonds are almost universally really, really good at clicking heads. Most of them are on another level and your main hope is that you can pull some clever poo poo on them once or twice and they'll quit, which works about 75% of the time in casual and not at all in ranked

They were pretty lovely back when there were a ton of them that were unavoidable but they've been designing and fixing the maps with peeking in mind for quite awhile now. It's definitely a fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me type of thing. If it's a big problem then bring Glaz.

Best way to learn the layout of a new map is to create a custom game by the yourself and set the round length to maximum (10 min?). Then just run around looking at how everything fits together. Since you don't have to worry about being ambushed you can direct your full attention to memorizing how to get around. After that it should be much easier to pick up on the more subtle things like peeking spots and good places to hide.

Qubee posted:yeah that's cause people are hella dumb sometimes. read above where I post what a typical R6 users' headphones look like (tin cans). but I can say for a fact that you can avoid ying's flashes, even if they're in range. I've looked at a wall when it comes in and not been flashed. the only reason flashes get you sometimes when you look away is one of the balls luckily falls right underneath / in front of you without you realising and gets you. The way flashes work is you're blinded if you're looking at them from a long way away or if you're not looking at them from a shorter distance. So if a flash lands right behind you or beside you you still get blinded even if you're looking away from it. However there must be line of sight from the flash to your body (specifically the head maybe? not sure about that part) for you to be blinded so if there's a stray Twinkie wrapper between you and the flash then you won't be blinded. Since there's a lot of cover that people will naturally be hiding behind and random objects for flashes to accidentally land behind this can often greatly reduce their effectiveness, especially in rooms full of cubicles and stuff. Fortunately for Ying she can shoot them through walls and poo poo so she can absolutely saturate most rooms with 2-3 balls firing in different places. my kinda ape fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Sep 7, 2018 |

Constant matchmaking errors is a step backwards but at least all you have to do is start matchmaking again when it happens and it'll eventually work. New ops are great though.

tradjik posted:Does anyone know if I would get the extra 600 R6 credits if I was to buy the Year 2 bundle before buying the Year 3 pass, or does it only count if you bought the Year 2 pass when it was available? Pretty sure the bonus credits were a temporary thing if you already owned Y2 and bought Y3 before it was released (or maybe it was before the end of Y3S1?) 95% sure you can't get it now. They did the same thing with Y2 if you already had Y1. It's basically a preorder bonus.

Thief posted:he can also knock down deployable shields with one touch from his torch which is extremely useful because vaulting gets a lot of pubbies killed I did not know that, does it work on barbed wire too? Not that it'd be too much better than just punching it but it might be more quiet. The best counter to Maverick is to put a deployable shield in the corner you want to hide in but facing the wall so he can't shoot you if he makes a hole right next to you. Also cameras that can watch walls he's likely to put holes in.

Samovar posted:Is there any real point to the laser sight? It seems like all it does is inform enemies where you are aiming. Pretty much. It's ok on shotguns and I put it on a lot of my pistols because if I'm drawing my pistol there's a good chance I'm panic spraying. Definitely on shield guys' pistols because they hipfire while hiding behind their shield a lot. There's a couple of other primaries like Maestro's LMG that have pretty good hipfire accuracy where you might consider using it but for the most part you don't want it on primary weapons because you want to be aiming down sight and it just gives you away. Also note that the laser does not disappear when you ADS, you just can't see it because your reticle always covers it.
