First ranked match after placements. My team are all 50 and below, enemy team is all 150 and above. Lost 1-4, now I'm bronze. yay. Now I get a giant fat "You suck" on my name whenever I play casual.

You want this though. The enemy will underestimate you and then scream about hax when you win.

Put him behind a deployable shield (which he can bring himself) or any solid waist high cover like a desk and he's gonna be pretty fuckin' hard to dislodge unless you're Capitao.

That shield is so big you can probably edge around a corner just enough to see it and shoot the corner a bunch while he cant return fire. Then hes back to regular old useless Tachanka.

If a defender vaults out the garage stairwell window on to the back porch they have perfect line of sight on the defenders attackers as they spawn and can kill them before theyre able to even move.

Bank's spawns are probably the only ones that people can basically instantly get headshot before they can react; even knowing somebody is going to be popping out of the front door doesn't mean you can meaningfully either get out of the way or ADS before you're dead.

(To a lesser extent you can get murked by people running out of the tower on the tunnel spawn but that guy will never make it back in alive)

Bank also has some really lovely spawns, but Christmas Trees on Kafe is one of the very few you can see them less than one second after the end of the drone phase without the other team moving. Dont get me wrong, its hilarious and I do it every chance I get because Im a bad person but its absolutely bullshit and needs fixing.

Ran into this situation last night:

As Montagne, I had my shield extended and was peeking a hole in a wooden wall. Castle comes along and throws an impact grenade and hits his side of the wall. I took full impact grenade damage instead of having it reduced by the shield.

It definitely didn't hit behind me since it created a big hole to vault through. Is that a glitch or are impact grenades exempt from the explosion reduction for some reason?

by design, a fully absorbed impact grenade should do about 2 dmg to you.

Two nights ago I had the weirdest match of this so far. Myself and my pal got in a game on whatever the map is that IQ's situation takes place on (Oregon?).
The round begins, and pretty quickly someone calls out "they have three shields". I figure he means Blitz, Montagne, and Fuze.

He had his count wrong. They had five shields, and they were all recruits.


Shield Team 6 is a time honored tradition and is a ton of fun.

Is Smoke considered good at all? I enjoy playing him too much but other than his ability to annoy shield operators a bit, I feel like a lot of what he does is able to be done more instantaneously by other operators.

Smoke is great and his gadget is amazing at stalling a last second push.

Aside from the hit reg issues the only thing I'd like changed on blitz is the ability to sprint with the shield in front of him instead of dropping it to the side. It would give him something Montagne and Fuze don't have.

Wooper posted:

what would really suit his name is some sort of lighting device, maybe a flashbang attached to his shield

Except German for flashbang is Blendgranate (blinding grenade), so the name Blitz would be a bit of wordplay derived from the concept of a blitzkrieg that also refers to the bright flash of lightning.

To say nothing of how English speakers often use the word blitz to refer to a quick strike, such as the play in American football.

e: VV in ranked people tend to pick the same 2 objectives over and over again. They'd pick the same one if the game would allow it.

Thats because some of them are horribly bad (favela meth room) or absurdly easy (plane meeting room) so picking anything else is handicapping yourself for no reason.

Speaking of, what attachments should I run on guns in general?

Also is there a strategy to using Sledge's hammer for maximum effeciency or should I just run around and DYNAMIC ENTRY my way into as many rooms as possible?

Always put a sight on the shotguns. It makes them way more reliable for some reason.

Laser sights are great for shotguns, but optics also seem to help them. Someone on Reddit claimed the optics cause a pellet to always be dead center when you aim down the sights. Placebo effect maybe, but I'm consistently better when usinga shotgun with a sight compared to the irons.

Haven't had that exact problem, but I do wish the game was better about detecting motive behind TK's. I have been banned for completely accidental kills, whether my fault or someone walking into my path, but others who intentionally kill me at the start aren't kicked instantly. Yes, they should *hopefully* be kicked by the second kill if they do, but I think it should be instant.

A simple Forgive Teamkill? prompt is all we really need. If they're forgiven, nothing happens except the points lost. If they aren't, the existing tk punishment applies.

After that, apply tk penalties to parties so a four man can't skirt the edge of the penalty system

Buff Castle by giving him the ability to limbo under the doorway castle panels at full running speed.

TIA.

I wonder if castle would be better if his doors only covered half of the doorway. You could set it low to block drones and force the enemy to vault over them (like people do with deployable shields) or you could set it high and make them crouch their way in if they dont have any way to take down the barricade. It would certainly make them less susceptible to getting Fuzed.

Also also, who do you guys think would be a good contender for the next elite skin. Definitely need a defender to even it out. I would say GSG9 should get one, but (and this is probably me being ignorant), I can't think of a retro style outfit that isn't Nazi related.

Either give them whatever uniforms they wear when not in their "I was called up while wearing my civvies and didn't have time to change" dress or just different t-shirts and hoodies.

Ideally tease that one of the uniforms is a dress or skirt to tease the people obsessed with iq and then give it to Blitz.

And then sometimes you get the most bullshit shots imaginable. Like the time on skyscraper I decided to do some spray fire into some smoke in case someone was going to try to run through it into the bomb site we were invading. First bullet went through a wall on the other side of the doorway and headshot someone.
