Fell out of diamond this season but it ended up bothering me way less than I expected. I think I've stopped caring about rank at all. If 3.0 locks me out of queueing with the lads I'll be pissed off, though.
>>2526052 Ahhh bloo bloo, woe is you You've only made it to 2nd highest rank in the entire game, how will you ever sleep at night? Wahhhhh T_T Kiss my ass FAGGOR, you're going to be Gold in ranked 3.0 and I will be there to fuck your tight bussy, twink
I haven't seriously touched ranked since before they introduced the champ rank. Highest rank I soloqueued to was plat 2 when plat was the second highest rank, but it was a real struggle the entire way. As a solo, your team at least 70% of the time will be made up of uncommunicative randoms that suck absolute ass, and the enemy team will be made up of a well-coordinated stack of at least 2-3 players (often 5). Even if you try talking to your teammates and encourage them to cooperate, they won't. They simply won't. Playing ranked without using your mic should be a bannable offense. Not that I care about ranked at all at this point. Fuck that shit, and fuck unranked, because it's the exact same thing there.
>>2528996 Tell me where you work and what your job is. I want to steal your occupation so I can put that on my resume and pretend I've been employed lately :3
With my main getting nerf next season, what is a good attacker that I can contribute after I'm dead, helps all my teammate when I'm alive?
My second mains are Thatcher/Termite, I struggle to get on site let alone into the building, so I just make my own may, but you can't always use them depending on site/bans. I tried Twitch/Brava but by the time I'm done using the drones there is only 30 seconds left in the round.
>>2529622 >So is there any way to play Area Secured or Hostage quickplay >Why aren't these modes in rotation? they used to be but barely anyone played them except to farm noobs for ez diamond they're just too unbalanced and not particularly interesting in their current state they said they want to overhaul hostage at some point but I don't remember if they gave an exact date
>>2529650 >quickplay I learned recently that ubishit disabled secure area and hostage by default for everyone, so hardly anyone plays them. You have to toggle those modes in settings to play them, which is a real retard faggot move.
>>2526249 I know what you mean. Always avoided ranked, but this time I really wanted the Frost headgear and some how made it to Platinum V today. So now I'm hooked.
>>2526028 > R6 community in-game: the most toxic, insufferable, cock-eating retards known to man > R6 community in this thread: relatively calm, normal people What gives? Why is there no trolling, slurs or condescending arguments in these threads? Nobody is even smugly saying "post rank", wtf?
>>2529801 Well, I don't think it was ever truly a "Tom Clancy's Game", especially due to its departure from the original Rainbow titles, but yeah, it was way more grounded in reality, serious and grittier. We also didn't have any clown skins back then and the gameplay was more punishing. Miss that old atmospheric lighting too.
>>2529807 say what you will about the gameplay but siege still took itself seriously back then and we had actual terrorists doing terrorist shit. no fucking operator olympics, no mcu villains, no hamfisted drama. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkqe_cFLO8Q
>>2529823 >>2529827 Exact same. Didn't play for like 2 years after they started adding all that crap. Every trace of Harry the Redditor and Reddit olympics should be removed from the game completely. I'm also not a huge fan of the whole nighthaven arc and ultra sci-fi maps with concrete concrete concrete and barely any verticality. Those should be removed from the game too.
>>2529845 Well, look on the bright side: Deimos murdered Harry, got away with it, and literally nobody cares. Every time you play Deimos you are playing an actual murderer and war criminal. :)
>>2529650 >>2529622 Hostage is getting a full rework & will be included in ranked's rotation in Y11S4, they haven't given many details yet so that's all we know. It's going to be a permanent mode of course just like Bomb
>>2526028 New Dokk just dropped. She's unbannable in ranked currently for two weeks, so if you solo queue be aware that you'll likely end up facing doomstacks crutching a nightmarish mixture of Dokk/Snake/Deimos or Dokk/Snake/Lion.
I for one will not be touching ranked until she's bannable. I solo'd last season to Emerald, so if Ranked 3.0 is even remotely an improvement over Ranked 2.0, I'm expecting to be Diamond. Let's put the work in, peckerwoods.
>>2540728 >if Ranked 3.0 is even remotely an improvement over Ranked 2.0 I can't see it. Everything in the video is the same for me. You also can be thrown against stacks, gold players against coppers. What is the improvement, explain to me like im 5.
Does casual MMR reset with each new season or do I need to wait a few months until I can stop facing sweats because I won too many fucking games in a row?
>>2542470 literally no other good playlist. casual is casual and can't be taken seriously. unranked has no stakes in it. ranked is the only playlist people actually try in. i dont play this game for leisure, i play it when i want to be competitive.
>>2542480 >casual is casual and can't be taken seriously. That's the fun part. No one takes it seriously (for the most part) and you can shit on disorganized players all day long and feel like John Wick (until you hit like hidden champ rank and start running into coordinated stacks that use QM for warmup). There's very little fun about fighting people who tryhard and sweat their balls off. I get the competitive thing, but personally, I find it boring and as a solo see no point in trying to be competitive in a mode that's meant to be played with a premade, which I don't have.
>>2542516 this game is too slow to be truly fun for me. it's purely a competitive game. and at this point, there's no such thing as a non-competitive multiplayer game. we have twitchfags to blame for the tryhard epidemic.
>>2542528 In QM, there's a way to reverse boost. You can drop your MMR so low, you start running into the literal wood league. Seal clubbing stops being fun after a while though. I think gold-plat is the sweet spot for me personally. It's not too easy, and not too hard.
I get what they were going for with this new map (Coastline 2), but they completely misunderstood what makes Coastline a great and well-balanced map and enjoyable to play both as an attacker and a defender. You can still see the dogshit map design and stupid philosophy of plopping as many corridors and tiny rooms as possible from the Cringe olympics era all throughout the new map.
>>2542516 >There's very little fun about fighting people who tryhard and sweat their balls off I disagree. Sprinting into site and praying you win your 50/50s is fucking stupid. Siege's gunplay is average at best and the least interesting part of the game. Outsmarting a sweaty 5 stack feels much more satisfying to me.
>>2544276 Shit fact: Mute's jammers no longer counter Dokkabei's phone calls like they used to. Before, if you were on top of a jammer an incoming call would be automatically silenced and if you were being called, you could run to a nearby jammer and silence it. Now? If you're being called and run to a nearby jammer, nothing happens. Your phone will still ring. You have to be already on top of a jammer to disable any calls. Enjoy! :)
>>2545758 One of the devs has to be a dokkaebi simp or it's a foid's self insert. There is no other explanation. I suspected it before with her cringe donut steel bio, how she's constantly pushed ingame and in lore, and now her """rework""" has made her even more oppressive. It's fucking release Ela all over again. She is going to be a permaban by the end of this season and easily the most hated operator in the entire roster.
>>2545983 >people who've never played an fps game before That's who you're going to be running into initially, but then the hidden MMR in QM will correct itself. There are people who are barely self aware. Children. Idiots. Women. People who have literally never played a multiplayer game before. Hey, I don't judge. Siege was my first multiplayer FPS too, and I struggled for quite a bit before I got good.
>>2547109 I mean I had played MP FPS before, but not seriously, and only a handful of times. Siege was the first MP game I got into and stuck with. Took me two years or so to stop sucking and get to high plat level. It was a very rough fucking journey, because by that point the game had been out for a few years, and it felt like everyone I played against was infinitely better and more knowledgeable than me. I can't imagine what it's like getting into this game now that it's been out for 11 fucking years and has fuck knows how many operators, abilities and mechanics. Cock and ball torture is probably more pleasant than learning Siege now.
It's always really funny to watch what everyone's skill level was like back in year one or even during the beta. I always regretted not playing during that period, because I missed out on getting good along with everyone else.
Battle Pass gifting has been disabled in Year 11 seasons where Operator Remasters are included. This is due to gifted Battle Passes not awarding Credits correctly for players who already own the remastered Operator.
>>2542886 did report, but ubishit doesnt ban cheaters as fast as they should because the retards that run it think that banning cheaters 6 months after the report makes cheaters unsure of why they were banned. ubisoft thinks they heckin' smarterino tacticians.
>>2548558 Fucking faggots. They're going to go bankrupt, aren't they? First, they disabled the market so that players could not earn their own credits, but only spend real money on them. Then there were skins in the shop for 5000 credits. Cut down the chance of dropping good quality items in alpha packs, again so people use the shop for good skins. Now, the battle pass gifts, so your friend need to buy it instead. Will they also fix any critical game-breaking bugs in the next seasons? No. There's no way they're doing this because they're not going to bankrupt.
Weird amount of intentional throwers this season, 3 already in less than 15 games. Also recognizing a bunch of names from diamond matches and they're all gold and plat this season. I have a feeling this season is going to suck.
>>2552268 Nah, that's not the case. Almost everyone I recognize is sitting at a 1.4 or higher, I'm at a 1.6 and I'm bottom of the barrel by 2.0 Diamond standards. The ranks are just really fucky right now.
I don't mind since I'm autistic about this game and the grind sounds fun to me, but this cannot be fun for actual plats right now.
How to go about learning maps, should I play only ranked ones or just all of them (unranked playlist)? Most of the time I just guess where to go and plant my traps and stuff where I think the attackers come from and try to make choke points with my team's equipment; but it's just a gamble. Attacking is a nightmare and I'm just running around in a maze before I get a kill or die from some insane angle.
>>2552610 Depends. Are you looking to get into ranked soon? If so, play unranked but tweak unranked's settings to feature the "ranked only" map playlist. However, I would thoroughly recommend that before you do that, look up on YouTube: "R6 Siege <Insert map you want to learn> attack/defense guide". Study the meta headholes, rotates, pushes, direct takes, etc shown. Siege isn't an easy game to learn, but you WILL learn it through a mixture of experience, repetition, and muscle memory once you accumulate enough hours. Keep at it. Or don't. It all depends on whether or not you give a fuck and actually want to be good at popular FPS.
>>2554193 Here's some top-tier Siege YouTubers that will help you learn:
Poxonlox (Champ with semi-pro experience, though never formally a pro player) Athieno (Same as above) R6 Mint (Not sure of his rank, but he was previously a pro coach) Beaulo Live (Absolute apex of Champs, ex-pro player. This particular offshoot of his main channel features entire ranked games of Beaulo playing both attack/defense, through wins and losses. I highly, highly recommend you steal strats and operators from him, then mix them with your own playstyle)
>>2554232 Mint is the only one that gives good advice Beaulo sandbags in ranked. He can just walk in the building and smoke 99% of players off gunskill. Athieno and Pox play like bots a lot of the time.
They're fine if you're starting from copper but you'll plateau if you just copy their strats 1:1. Siege fundamentals are the boring things that don't get you youtube views. Strong droning skills, positioning, timing, communication, trades, map knowledge, etc.
>>2552610 >How to go about learning maps Clear House is what most people recommend. I like going in with Buck and opening walls everywhere to learn sightlines.
>>2555165 >Beaulo sandbags in ranked. He can just walk in the building and smoke 99% of players off gunskill. Reminds me of the Jinxzy VS Mooda play. After talking about how tactics are more important in R6S, Mooda, who had never played Siege, destroyed Jinxzy with his good aim from Valorant.
>>2555165 > Athieno and Pox play like bots a lot of the time. You're sleeping on them desu. Back in the day, when Athieno was way under 500k in subscribers he uploaded a ranked match featuring him and his stack facing off against Beaulo and TSM. Athieno and his gang won (barely, if memory serves correctly). As for Pox, Pox only a few months ago actually shit on IceCold (One of Bo's irrelevant hangers-on that's known in the comp and scrim scene) in one of IceCold's own videos featuring them fighting for a spot in T3/T2 or some shit like that. You might think they are bots, but they are actually legit. I've seen it! Pox surprised the hell out of me though, I did not know he was seriously built like that lol
>>2555893 Ranked literally doesn't matter as a solo, shitter, because it's a heavily team based mode. If you don't have a team, you're playing ranked wrong.
>>2556906 Shotty Deimos is fun as fuck and I'm tired of pretending he is not >Phobos as operator was never a thing Sadge but I hope the next defender is fun one way or the other. Not sure what they're planning to do since she's going to be mostly a shield counter
>>2555779 I don't think so. Dozens of Alpha Packs and a couple of boosters seem worth it to me. And I still have a ton of credits from the marketplace, so it's not like I'm gonna pay Ubi a single cent.
>remove remote hack >add cooldown between calls >the defender puts his phone on silent after the first call There, now she's at least somewhat bearable.
>>2545758 >>2557369 We need some type of technophobe operator. No phone at all, no electric / electronic gunsights, gadgets limited to physical or pyrotechnic options, voice comms only work within shouting distance.
