I quit a while a go now thanks to the shit they've done. It's still a fun game though.

>>16134860

The base gameplay is still there. It's not like it's been made suddenly worse. There have been two lousy seasons in a row which introduced some lousy ops which made everyone not feel the magic anymore, but the game's been on a steady climb since then.

Why can't they make more maps instead of more gimmicky heroes?

Anyone got the chart?

>>16135126

Maps are free but characters and their cosmetics cost video game money which encourages you to spend real world money.

>Hibana Skin

What the hell did they do to her?

Why does she have no sleaves?

Why does she have a bow?

Olympics pandering?

At least Ubisoft kept her face decent.

>>16136639

That's trap tier thinking.

Bitch in op's 4th pic has King Kong vice grips.

All of the girls in your pic have half the radius of their coach's wrist and Ubi thinks stronk womyn is going to have 3x radius than coach.

There's more to masculinity than a cock and apples.

Case study: Buck Angel

Will ubishit ever make Hibana look at least remotely japanese?

>>16134860

I still play with my bro because of the good times we had back when this game wasn't trash.

>>16136852

I don't really see how this game resembles Aeon of Strife ar all, anon.

The reason Siege was good before was, in my opinion, because of the small, tight community. You could play at the same time every day and recognize people from past matches frequently, and everyone who played just wanted to have fun, operate operationally and meme tactically, and liked the game because it was unique and offered a lot of opportunites to minge and do fun strats. Now that the game has risen in popularity and is largely seen as a CS:GO competitor it has attracted your standard fare normalfags and esports niggers who refuse to have anything resembling fun. Unfortunatle the devs have also adopted a shit-tier balancing / map design philosophy and only make the most pro-league worthy additions and revisions, and often take suggestions straight from the very vocal reddit community; most of the new ops from year 3 were totally uninteresting, thankfully Mozzie looks cool but I don't have high hopes for the future. Plus, they're going back and retroactively fucking up old maps too. Nu-Clubhouse and Nu-Hereford are really unfun to play on, and you still can't actually select what maps you what to play on so you're forced to play them. Game sucks lately, but at least they're addressing stuff like leanspam and poor op balance, so there's still the slightest ray of hope.

>>16136917

Most ops are useful. Regardless, Siege is not competitive game material due to the many engine problems.

>>16136902

>Nu-Clubhouse and Nu-Hereford are really unfun to play on

What the fuck?

Clubhouse only got a minor change to add a tunnel between the bedroom and server room sites which was absolutely necessary to give defenders more maneuverability and paths to rotate around the map so defenders wouldn't be stuck in a very small and painful to defend room which makes it more susceptible to stale and boring strategies like the Favela 3F bomb site. Now it's much more realistic for roamers watching from the server room window to flank attackers peering in through the bedroom windows, without having to run across half the fucking map if they want to rotate from server room to bedroom.

Meanwhile old Hereford was abso-fucking-lutely due for a rework, what with being one of the first maps made for the game. There was no way of rotating upwards in old Hereford (save for between BF/1F) because all floors were only connected by a single central staircase, making it ridiculously easy for attackers to clear the map from top to bottom without any fear of being flanked from above. I'd always pick Blitz and breach in at 3F and clearing all rooms on my way down, bullying unfortunate roamers and then not having to worry about them if the objective was at 1F or BF, which was made even further easier by the small size of the map, so you have to spend less time checking for roamers and get more for pushing the objective. Meanwhile the main hallway of 2F would give attackers too great of a sight advantage from the objective room by being able to simultaneously hold a clear angle on both the rooms left and right from the central stairs, and the stairs itself, making it again unfairly difficult on defenders to rotate towards 2F if attackers can prevent such rotations by holding a single angle.

Say what you want about nuHereford, but it provides an objective improvement over old Hereford by increasing the size of each floor and providing multiple staircases between each floor. Holding an angle on the 1F front door hallway is nowhere as OP as it was in old Hereford, because now you have to look around a corner after entering the front door, whereas in old Hereford you could have Glaz covering the entire doorway far fucking away from the tribunes. On top of that nuHereford provides an additional passage to connect the 1F rooms to the left and right of the central staircase which goes behind the central staircase, so defenders don't have to put themselves at a disproportionate risk to rotate from the left to the right room through the hallway which an attacker could hold at all times. To balance it out, that passage does have a breachable wall that connects to the outside, so it's not 100% safe to use for defenders either. It also helps that Ubi applies some of their lessons learned from making maps and made each floor in nuHereford more visually distinct through different color tones and general geometry.

>>16136902

The Competitive game modes in Siege are the worst.

They actually incentivize people to hack on the competitive more than the casual mode.

In Casual you get a death cam so you can see if the guy was hacking, report them, and usually get banned pretty fast.

In competitive their is no death cam, so this means hackers can kill you for rounds at a time without you being able to tell.

For example the last time I played the "It's competitive but doesn't actually count" game mode their was a Doc who kept spawn peeking and headshoting us three rounds in a row. Eventually he spasmed out so hard he 180ed his teammate in the head and got kicked for Team killing. The only reason we saw his cheats was because of the end of the round cam. The rest of his hacker buddies left because he had gotten kicked and we were eventually able to turn around the game from 0-3 to 5-4.

Last time ill ever touch Sieges competitive modes.

>>16136917

>you called them niche, which they are not

Well each has their own niche appeal. Arma's is Mil Sim, Rising Storm is Vietnam, and Titanfall is Mecha with Wallrunning.

>the list is full of mediocre shovelware with the only decent game being TF2

I don't think you understand what shovelware actually means.

>you have poor taste, shooters are fun but the ones you listed are not.

Please by all means, enlighten me with your patrician taste.

You may not use games made before 2014, because I was trying to list games that are still fresh.

>>16136953

I agree that they are more balanced, but I guess it's just my opinion that both of these maps were made worse. I'll give you that Clubhouse really is better and I'm being gay about it, but nu-Hereford is just a huge clusterfuck, at least the old version was clean and concise and you knew where shit was.

>>16136960

I played ranked around end of Y1 and into probably operation health; it was an alright experience at gold rank, I couldn't speak for other mmr levels but playing at stupid hours like 4am got me some fun matches with cool dudes. Now that they want your phone number for poutine-based spying operations I couldn't give less of a fuck about ranked, espeially since they're adding pick / ban to it. I really can't fathom why anyone plays ranked outside of fighting games, where the whole point is personal improvement.

>>16136917

>Arma 3 is bad but Titanfall 2 is decent

And you're the faggot bitching about taste?

>playing games made by the same people who love trannies, niggers and white genocide

>>16137002

I thought Tower was ultra shit on release, now I ust think it's mostly shit. I didn't think any of the classic maps were hard to learn when I first started playing; the last good, intuitive to learn map they made was probably Coastline I actually really grew to like Theme Park after a little while, I won't say it was the last good map but I do like it. I haven't played much Fortress but it seems to be much of the same. The maps people tend to hate - Yacht, Favela, Plane, etc. I typically find pretty enjoyable, House is alright most of the time but it could use some minor tweaks.

>Is this just a general aversion against compfaggotry that's speaking up here?

Basically, I do appreciate the idea of having to mix up your game plan based on bans but I don't really want to deal with it in general.

>>16137037

Team Fortress 2 was always shit

>>16137002

>It's honestly more preferable to have a separate mode for compfags while most people can still play Casual in all its unbalanced glory, as opposed to Team Fortress 2 where changes made to appease compfags would bleed through the entire game. Though I do hope they will just let you pick your spawn point in Casual for once.

They're ruining the little fun left for compfags. It always bleeds into the casual scene.

>>16134326

haven't played for ages but the nerfs to lesion and glaz don't seem necessary to me, am I wrong?

>>16137050

>>16137178

The fact that they metafag all of the time instead of discussing features and the base gameplay really gives off who this piece of shit game caters to.

Not even Grindframe threads are this cancerous.

>>16137177

>Just pick IQ

Nobody will ever pick IQ no matter how much you try buffing her, Ubi. Besides, after a while you can learn to recognize the outline of Gu mines. Their silhouette is also easier to spot from the ground-level viewpoint from a drone.

>>16137181

If history is any precedent, usually the first sixty or so posts in Siege threads will be people saging and implying Ubisoft, before Mark swoops in and deletes all your posts, and actual discussion about the game continues normally afterwards for another fifty or so posts. I know, because I always make one Siege thread for each new season, and that's pretty much how they always turned out.

>>16137169

Lesion is one of my favorite defenders but I'm glad he's getting nerfed, most of the upcoming balance changes seem pretty sensible for once. I like the new deployable, maybe it'll actually be usful now.

Footage of new Glaz/Lion/Shield/Dokki/Capitao

https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/siege/en-us/game-info/seasons/burnthorizon/index.aspx

Burnt Horizon patch notes lists some shit that hasn't been revealed yet:

>First off, we are releasing a new multiplayer playlist for players under level 50, called the Newcomer playlist, to help them learn the basics of Rainbow Six Siege. They will play the Bomb mode of classic maps most representative of the game’s core gameplay, namely Chalet, Bank, and Consulate. Attackers will vote for a team spawn point while on the Defenders' side, the bomb sites will be automatically pre-selected by the game.

>The Casual playlist will now improve the flow between the Newcomer and Ranked playlists. There are three key updates. First, the Defenders will know which bomb sites are selected before choosing their Operator. Second, the Attackers will now choose their individual spawn points. Third, the Action phase now lasts 3:30, allowing for an intermediary step between Newcomer and Ranked.

>When Shield Operators turn in place, there is a slight delay before the shield and upper body snap to align with the legs. This can cause a mismatch between first and third person perspectives. We are deploying a change that will make this left and right motion more fluid, and ensure that first and third person perspectives are aligned.

>With the launch of Y4S1, we will be activating the Match Making and Rating (MMR) Roll Back feature. When a cheater is banned, this feature will roll back MMR gains and losses for all players from matches that the banned cheater participated in for that Season. The system will not grant you MMR beyond your max MMR for the current Season.

Basically you can pick your spawn point in Casual now, and you know which sites will be selected beforehand as a defender

>>16137649

That's basically the current event matchmaking mode Road to SI.

>>16137376

Why the fuck would you nerf capitao, he didn't even have a positive winrate

>>16138420

Its not a nerf, the damage is still very good and the new aoe is huuuge.

Halving the damage isnt that big when your enemy is more likely now to actually get hit by it and has to endure it for twice as long as he runs out.

>>16138451

It's a pretty massive nerf, damage is low enough you can now survive a full duration

>>16138467

The intent with flare arrows is to displace enemies, not to kill them. Increasing AoE of the bolts will better suit that intent.

>>16138473

Except it now doesn't even succeed at doing that because you now have to waste all of your bolts to flush out someone who's holding a tight angle

>>16138479

>tanking a flare arrow

Nobody who values their life will actually do this, especially considering a second bolt can always be launched

>>16138490

Except you easily can now, not like life really matters most of the time given the current layout of "top tier" defenders. And unless they actually fix the dispersion which they haven't fixed a ton of shit they claim to fix, it's going to be even more useless than it already was.

>>16134916

This game has been shit since chimera where they literally broke the game. White noise despite ela's op gun was the last good season now it's literally just meta gadget spam at the higher echelons of rank. You can't have fun in this game. If you get to a certain rank/level it becomes meta annoyance and on top of that everyone is pretty much a reddit tier wannabe esports faggot. It's just a cancerous game at this point that I only play because the shootouts are good and that's about it. Think about this they have 2 modes. Ranked and Casual. Now I can play ranked and play against people my own rank which is still the tryhards or I can play casual which is basically a fucked up version of ranked where you get shit objectives and I'm still playing against the same tryhard fucks because I have a high level. All of a sudden the game stops being fun and starts being a chore.

>>16137666

no it's not road to SI is actually good because it has a pick/ban phase and you get to play multiple rounds on attack/defense in successive order so you can more easily adjust to what's going on. The current ranked formula is basically what this is stating and it's not even saying if this mode allows you to pick your objective which is in basic ranked already. Casual should just be like ranked mod and ranked mode should just be replaced with the "Road to SI" mode they developed because objectively it's a smarter game mode than anything else they came up with before.

All it says is that "The defenders will know which site they have" and you will have 3:30 seconds during action phase which is better than the dumbass 4 minute timer they used to have but you still have the retarded 3 rounds till win(yea nice 5 minutes of actual gameplay if you get blown out or destroy the other team after having 10 minutes of downtime during that mad fun right…..)

Ranked is the only good mode and road to SI is the best mode but I don't know where they are going with it. Honestly after playing enough "road to si" I decided it's the only good mode but we aren't getting it and they are fixing crouch spam which is good but they are fixing "lean spam"(which is retarded because I can't imagine how badly they are going to limit my peeking mobility)

They stopped making it a skill based game when they started releasing braindead ops like Lion and the buffed blitz into this game. And it seems like they are going to continue to do so.

>>16140550

That seems to be pretty much everyone's experience with it. I really wish they would find a way to take out millimeter peaking and other cheese that people love to do.

>>16140574

milimeter peeking isn't even close to tryhard strats. Now imagine having a team of tryhard plats run train on you because they have IQ, Lion, Blitz, someone with grenades, dokkaebi and just abuse the fuck out of their gagdets and you can't do shit. I can deal with the pixeling, prefiring, understanding peekers advantage, people hiding in dumb spots(that's why I have drones or why I play bomb so the objective revolves around planting a defuser it's the only smart game mode where you can't just anchor hard like a faggot as a defender you actually have to take on fights and defend the sight or vice versa as an attacker you actually have to plant or kill everyone on bombsite)

>>16140579

To me it just compounds the issue (cheese shit like that) because it's just shit that's plain unfun and doesn't even feel satisfying if you beat their tactics. I use to only play casual because of this shit but then fags come on to pub stomp for some reason.

>>16140574

so basically it's like this everyone I'm fighting against has abilities to track my footsteps and know where I'm standing, force me to stand still, can't get shot reliably from the front IE blitz, or I have a ringing phone. My character has a gun and maybe a gadget that seals a wall or stops grenades etc. The gadgetry in this game has gone beyond stupidity, the gadgets used to be like james bondish funny things like frosts bear traps and ashes breaching charge now it's just this gay sci fi shit that ruins the fun of the game. There is so much shit that offense can do to dictate you around (oh I can't move now and can't hear the poeple who might be charging me because of lion so much fun, oh jackals tracking me now I have to keep moving around and changing my angle so I don't get naded,blitzed or prefired, oh shit my phone is ringing looks like my spots blown up better run away into a hallway and maybe get my head blown off by an attacker holding angle or try to fight back against 4 guys rushing me….)

Game fucking sucks now at the higher tiers of play. Once you start playing against plat 1&2s the game is garbage because you also have people using recoil macros/crouch spam macros or they can just crouch spam alot anyway so crosshair placement on incoming firefights can be totally random(can't flick down on a crouching head if he's crouch spamming and his head is actually just flying everywhere at the speed of light so I just have to shoot him in the body and hope my gun has a better ttk than him….. GAME IS STUPID)

>>16140550

this is exactly why i quit playing after they added the brazilian ops. either you play casual and get matched against premades who are all individually 100 or so levels above your highest ranked teammate and get curbstomped, or you play ranked and play with/against esports mlg wannabes who just rage and use meta no-fun-allowed-i-must-win-at-any-cost tactics and flip their shit if you don't. it's a damn shame because siege gave me some of the most exciting competitive gameplay i've ever had

>>16140594

Theres so many more problems I've outlined with this game beyond it's community which is probably the most toxic and retarded community I've ever faced in gaming and I've been to smash tournaments/fgc events before.

>>16140588

The only reason why tryhards play casual is so they can just get a quick warmup for ranked I don't even play casual anymore because it's a waste of fucking time for me because every casual game is a mess of toxic shit with bad operator picks, nonsensical gameplay, and bad sites etc.

I just play ranked but I keep running into way too many tryhard fucks now that the game seems like a chore or a job as opposed to having fun. I wish I could just start lobbies of road to SI mode only with chill guys and have ALL RANKS ALLOWED where we can just have fun with the game. But you aren't allowed to have fun you are just allowed to "compete" in this fake esports ubisoft faggot pot.

>>16140609

>complains about the meta shitters in ranked

>complains about people dicking around in casual

What the fuck do you want man? I have a perfectly fine time in casual as long as people aren't running around TKing.

>>16140615

because you can't play the game the way it was designed to be played or at least the way it's "meant to be played" The game used to revolve around firefight intelligence now it just revolves around "Insert x attack strat here plus guns make sure you at least have xyz characters on defense to deny plant rinse repeat"

Compare a character like buck to a character like lion

One character is clearly well designed almost brilliant in the amount of creativity and skill that's required to use.

Whilst the other character just presses a button and can make everyone stand still or die.

The game is a mess. Once they introduced this "Information based meta" into the game it's just slowly becoming some disturbing manifestation of what it originally was about. At any level I'm not allowed to have fun. Casual is a shit show I can't pick my objectives so even if I have a squad we would just rather play ranked instead of playing 3-5 rounds and wasting like a full half hour with all the waiting around with the 4 minute bullshit timer in casual on top of the fact that I might get stuck defending kitchen in oregon 3 times in a row. this can happen to me in casual or I can get a terrible objective in favela that I have to attack. etc. etc. Casual is not fun because I'm not allowed to filter what I can play I just get stuck in bad situations and I can't control it.

Casual should just be road to SI and ranked should be road to SI because it's the only mode that allows you to play the game in a fun manner IE banning bullshit operators like Lion or Echo or blitz or some shit and getting to play a shit load of rounds on a good map and letting me choose my objective. This mode is a one time only thing but with the amount of cancer they keep adding I have a feeling that the meta creep in this game is just going to make it unplayable.

>>16140614

How would I go about doing that in this game?

>>16140637

It was a joke

>>16140637

You can blame it on the game become successful, more so than ubi was banking on. Once ubi realized what they had they proceeded to rape it in order to get more people to spend real money on the OP new characters.

>>16140637

>actually liking pick and ban

No thanks. And while I agree that new ops keep getting more bullshit, in casual I never see the shit you're talking about. And my level is in the 200s, so it's not a matter of playing only against noobtrash. Also just learn to play all the objectives. Casual is gonna be better later cause you'll at least know where you're going. You seem to want ranked gameplay but without people playing competitively, which makes little sense to me.

I'm sorry but is that a BOW AND ARROW in rainbow six siege?

>>16140659

That's not her gadget, it's just cosmetic.

>>16140648

I just don't like the way the gadgets spam in this game is now it's fundamentally changed the way you have to plays. I just want to be able to ban ops so people can't run the "Your fucked stand still and take it up the ass strategy" If you ban either blitz or lion this strategy isn't as effective because they can't just get an easy pick on someone roaming and instantly take the edge in the fight whilst still having more scans on top of having an advantage If i'm not allowed to stop this dumb strat it can come out at any moment and maybe I just like having more than 3-5 rounds on what could possibly be a shitty map or shitty objective. Why would I want to keep playing the same objectives over and over again? Casual forces me to. It's not fun I want to pick and I don't know if they are going to let us.

>>16140637

>Whilst the other character just presses a button and can make everyone stand still or die.

>lion gives him trouble after all the nerfs

There are shitters and there are people like you. Lion is just a small counter to roamers, the phone calls are a far bigger nuisance and more effective (which is why they are getting nerfed).

>>16140766
