Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I get removing maps from ranked, because balance should be paramount in ranked, but maybe just implement a vote system or preference system for casual matchmaking. Similar to COD for voting or rocket league for preferences.

Preference system already existed and now is apparently being removed.

I do not hear you, I do not see you, I will not let you get into the Duggler's head with your bring-downs.

Is the pro league even popular enough with players that people will recognize they are only playing the ESL maps? I don't understand the rationale at all tbh even if I don't care that the maps themselves are removed from rotation.

Designing the game around pro league is dumb as gently caress, the change to ranked to be 3 minutes was just catering to esl which literally is one in a hundred thousandth of the playerbase for the game.

Meanwhile every pro league match is a giant clusterfuck with restarts, hacking, racist bans or just plain broken gameplay because there's no real lan client and the servers shat themselves.

"What do you mean we're not in compliance?"
Mechwarrior Online has a decent system for this. It rolls four maps and two game modes that players on both teams can vote on before the match starts. If a thing you (or your party leader in the case of a party) voted on doesn't win you slowly build up a multiplier until you can 8x or whatever a vote and win a good (or bad) map/mode for sure.

All maps are fun maps in casual, be a shame to remove them.

the 3 minute rounds are amazing & one of the major reasons I'm annoyed about having to go back to casual to get an actual variety of maps again

Diamond level player, knows exactly where I am, shoots shield. Shoots me when I flee cover as they know where I'm going to go. The only thing that throws me off is aiming exactly where I am through the wall. I'm perfectly fine with saying this is a legit Good Player.

But then I looked at his stats.

https://r6db.com/profile/04a0f2c9-2fe8-4cc9-ad73-bbc6af0df97e/simple

Silver in season 1 and 2, then nothing til season 6 where they are a Diamond. 112 wins, 2 losses in US. 40 wins, 3 losses in Europe. General stats don't match up with new Ranked stats.

Is it a legit Diamond and this is just their smurf account they came back to?

yeah there's absolutely no way this guy ain't hackin considering he's tracing you through the wall so he is lined up on your chest when he looks through the door again. That would probably have been an outright headshot had you not vaulted over.

That's some incredibly obvious hacking if I've ever seen it. Probably just a wallhack, though.

Long con is to remove maps and then re-add them with minor changes after the third operation health.

Also what sort of endorsement is it for the season one content if half of it is being removed lol

Ying's backstory is she crashed her car. Not a great moment for women asian drivers.


Her gadget follows the wall rather than bouncing off it so you can get it through drone holes with right angles. Looking forward to having it rubberband out of the kitchen drone hole on the spanish map.

I guess people like the lore poo poo but I can't help but think it is cringe worthy every time I hear it. Not sure how I feel about the ops. They seem over-powered as gently caress at first glance.

Ubi nerfing the map preference options in the settings is really going to suck now with the change in play lists. The new map actually looks cool.

i don't think even the people writing them take it that seriously lol

iirc Tom Clancy himself actually wrote the Rainbow 6 book around the development of the game instead of the game being based off one of his existing books

i totally ignored the little bios and poo poo but flavor text is generally cool in games and i've managed to read them all after sitting in a group that's waiting on a person to join or whatever because the operation health update is actually good and now lets you do stuff while in que

Almost every operator is some variety of crazy or mentally unwell and it's great that all these nutjobs have high stress, high risk professions. Some of their crazy even gives them superpowers, like Jackal who turned insomnia into a footprint tracking helmet(???).
