I need to give Ying another chance, she had a dope pistol so she'd probably work well with shotgun now.

as far as I can tell, the discord that is linked in the thread (https://discord.gg/bwHjXK) is mainly filled with US Goons. when I'm on during the day (I'm UK) the discord is pretty dead. this past week I've had a totally messed up sleep routine and my luck at finding a group has been 100x easier cause all the US Goons are on.

montagne needs an ability where one operator can grab onto his shoulder and basically use him as protection. i'm tired of either cockblocking my teammates from firing, or moving and getting them killed.

Load a custom map. Memorize where her icon is. Load into a match while furiously clicking that spot. That's how I do charm challenges when I play with goons.

I play on PS4 so all I can do is furiously hit the dpad as the menu lags and I miss her entirely.

At least Zofia isn't bad so I got that going for me usually.

ying's lmg is legit good though, just use it like a rifle that has an absurd extended mag instead of mag dumping like you're playing fuze

alternatively just go with Zofia because she is basically a ying/capitao/ash hybrid

that lmg she has with the box of 150 rounds or whatever feels like the saw but doesn't seem to have the same dps problems

her ability is ridic btw. the breach round having no timer is awesome for surprise attacks and the flashbangs are basically just bouncy grzmots that use clancyverse technology to somehow know when its flying past your friends head and then explode by proximity on an enemy

yeah zofia feels very rushed and it wouldn't surprise me if she is the most tweaked over the coming months

by the end of blood orchid i found myself playing ying the most of the 3.

her and vigil are exactly the kinds of operators i want to see them add to the game. perfectly viable without coming off as blatantly op

unlike ying though, i expect vigil's popularity to rise once the dedicated spawn peeking jager mains figure out that he was practically designed for them with no devices to place at the start of each round

Zofia should really lose the impact grenades and the self-revive, four concussion nades on a launcher is good enough as an operator ability.

The self revive is loving hilarious because her operator page doesn't even mention it. It's completely absent everywhere and then suddenly you're downed and get a prompt for no loving reason. Ela really kickstarted a trend of operators getting random second abilities that have almost nothing to do with their primary ability. Honestly, I feel like the only reason Zofia gets the withstand thing is that Ela has a downed ability so obviously her sister needs one too.

We had that with Jackal, we didn't know that he could actually track people, we only thought that he had the ability to see the footsteps. It just keeps escalating IMHO.

It absolutely does keep escalating.

And then you have Vigil who is the exact opposite. He just gets one power and it doesn't even last very long.

Come to think of it Caveira had two powers too, though they at least made sense together. Maybe it's just a female operator thing?

Doc can revive with his heal bullets but also heal and also overheal so he wins with 3 abilities?

I wish IQ could do something cool with her PDA besides seeing the electronic devices, like hack one or something.

That's one ability with two valid targets, and they all make sense as being part of a single ability set, unlike Zofia's self-revive.

It's slowly turning into league of legends style ability creep. Original champions had 4 abilities that each did one thing and eventually crept to the point where champions had passive abilities on the regular abilities and it just snowballs.

Zofia is really fun but could do with some reigning back for sure. The stun reduction between the two sisters needs to go as does her self recovery bit.

So the new operators have already leaked. https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/c...t_season_leaks/

The attacker will have a launcher that shoots foam that hardens at doorways(Ash + Castle I guess :rolleyes:) and the defender can pretend to be dead but is hard countered by glaz. And the defender can also place mines in drone hole openings like you could do with claymores.

I hope hilarious ragdolls are involved in feinting death.
