Something I'm noticing with this video is that 3-armors are shunned heavily and Ubisoft isn't doing shit about it. They're literally using that as a frickin punishment nerf. It's like putting the operator on timeout. You'd think if they wanted the game to be less Call of Duty they would address that.

4:36 Tachanka also had his original voice actor replaced which took away all of the soul of the character imo. Anatoly Zinoviev was a very respected person in the community, who actively interacted with fans and read out his iconic voicelines for whoever asked. Keep in mind they only replaced him for “scheduling reasons” meaning that the only reason for the recasting was just them wanting to get his shitty rework out and over with.

I've lost count of the times I've breached a seemingly empty room but heres a random guy way in the corner of the next room over and boom ur shot. My idea for a fix for this is to have a proper muzzle. Currently the bullet comes from the sight. Moving the simulated muzzle to the actual muzzle will make peeking more difficult

The balancing is half the reason I stopped playing Siege. I literally used to bet with my friends on who was gonna get the dumbest, most out of nowhere and unnecessarily powerful nerf and Ubi just kept 1-upping themselves. I just slowly lost all will to play the game since every few months the game would basically be completely remade for the worse with little to no new content added to attempt to balance it out. Day after day I would log on, and day after day it was the same maps, with the same operators, using the same strats, over... and over... and over... and over again. The community is about as pleasant as burying your head in a fire ant nest, cheaters run the game and Ubi just doesn't seem to give a crap about solving it, and the new subscription is just them being so obvious that it's not about making a good or functioning product, it's about just printing money off the whales who are addicted. From what I've experienced, the majority of the community can basically be summed up as the "Consume product then get excited for next product" meme. When I still had my Reddit, anytime I would try bringing up the fact that Ubi was destroying the game, I would get just dozens of the dumbest takes I've ever read. Honest to God, I once had a dude tell me that bringing up the endless cheaters, lack of proper balancing, and the content drought as an attack on the inclusion of gay people into the game (I wish I was joking, the R6 Reddit community has actual fucking brain damage). The game has constant bugs and glitches that often last for multiple seasons or even entire years, it runs like the only thing holding it together is a 15-year old anemic hamster kept alive through the power of demon worship and child sacrifice, meanwhile the community just sits there and takes it. And if you raise even a single finger in protest you get blasted by an endless wave of room temperature IQ neckbeards basically telling you to shut up, stop asking questions and CONSOOM PRODUCT. Ubisoft has managed to starve and abuse the community to the point that the slightest hint at a new map or weapon is seen as the second coming of Christ. SBMM being in every single mode made it impossible to just have fun with your buddies, if you're not sweating your nuts off, you're gonna lose and you will lose rank, even if you're in Casual... no, wait... "sTaNdArD". There's no fun to be had anymore, every decision has made the game go from bad to worse and somehow Ubi continues to find new ways to ruin the game I used to love. I spent over 1,100 hours over 2 1/2+ years of my life on this game, I want it to be great, I want to come back and have this be my favorite game again, but the devs just have no clue what they're doing and quite frankly they need to be fired and replaced by competent people who know how to balance, are willing to make new content, and are willing to fix the game's issues.

Also I think the problem with the current developers is a lack of direction. They aren't the same people who made the game originally, so they don't have the same vision for what the game should be. The seem to be lacking a clear direction to take the game in and what changes should be made. It seems their only real guidance is the operator's pick and win rates.

But yeah you dont have to full on sweat to win, especially not with the new ranked 2.0 system. If you just accept that winning isnt everything and just make it a secondary objective to having fun with the boys then the game isnt near as bad. There are plenty of content creators out there who's content circles around being stupid and just having a good time, you dont need to sweat at every game to win and you dont have to play on a monotonous, orthodox way to win every game. Also interacting with the community at large is sorta optional, as it is with any game.

Hey great video man. I really hope Ubisoft figure it out. Cant wait to see more videos from you!

Phenomenal video! I agree with most everything that was said here but also the way the video is paced and edited is really nice. You’ve earned a sub!

Rainbow is like... the only game I've quit because of balance changes. A thousand hours in it, too. It's not even any specific change that did it, it was the constant unending downward trajectory of terrible decisions spawning more terrible decisions progressively making everything feel worse to play. It felt like every single patch had a new clown ass change that wasn't asked for or was obviously the exact expected outcome of the change they made last time. For years. The only game I've seen similar stuff in is Overwatch, and I think it's the exact same problem in both cases. They have a way things "should be" and hammer any outliers to that vision into submission irrespective of cascading consequences or player feedback. Player expression and meta isn't seen as the natural progression of strategy, it's seen as data points to curb.

Riot is also doing the same thing with Valorant like what Ubisoft is doing with Siege, nerfing characters and weapons, etc, for the sake of pro play and e-sports, outright saying Viper was nerfed BECAUSE OF PRO PLAY. (I was maining her since closed beta and she was nerfed multiple times simply because of her high pick rate and cus she was great, compared to other agents) Viper's recent nerf is the reason I quit the game, ruined the fun and ruined the experience. I am tired of devs making nerfs to good balanced characters instead of buffing the bad ones. It's so exhausting seeing great games and parts of games ruined because of pros. E-sports ruined competitive gaming/gaming in general imo.

I was pretty tired of what the devs were doing with this game but the final nail in the coffin for me in this game was when they nerfed Kali and framed it as a buff when she was already the most useless operator in the game at the time. It was something along the lines of "yeah we're buffing her by removing the guaranteed one shot down on torso shot (not kill, down) and adding damage dropoff to her sniper so she wont kill, down, or do anything past 25m with a 12x scope sniper".

Sounds like you played like 3 matches of this game, full sprinted into a line of sight and got mowed down, and quit forever because you're horrible and dont know how to slow tf down and use drones or check common angles. This is siege not CoD. If you wanna turn your brain off and just run and gun, then black ops 6 is coming out pretty soon. You might would rather look into that.

Quit the game years ago, said all the same things back then but people kept telling me "oh it's not THAT bad" and yet here we are. Little by little they made the game worse and worse. But it's easier to remove a scope or lessen a damage number than to change an operator/gadget to be more fun or viable. Unfortunately, seeing how Ubisoft is as a whole, this problem will likely never get better. They are too focused on money, politics, and investors to care about the people who actually play their games, yet those same people keep giving them money.

28:50 so we not gonna acknowledge that clean ass shot

This was a great video that clearly explained the reasons behind the 2 biggest problematic metas in the game these last 4 years. I think you made really good points and I really enjoyed the editing (and y5 evan braddock videos, his y4-y5 videos are the best). Keep it up!

The balancing of this game is like a never ending cycle, change for the sake of change so things don't seem the same season to season. I would much rather have definitive balancing changes that point into a direction like the grenade nerf which is a cornerstone change if they don't backtrack on it. I would also like a change like this on defenders so they streamline the acogs and actually present a choice for the defender instead of "I pick wamai bc he has acog" a much more player focused approach should be "I pick this operator but should I also put an acog on him?". But nevermind with ubisoft's trackrecord we can expect years upon years of "X defender with acog was too strong so we removed acog and gave it to Y defender" "Oh no Y defender after given acog is also too strong it's time for a recoil nerf".

Infinitely worse on a phone than a PC, but the latter breaks the flow regardless, while the former makes me feel like I'm missing out on stuff I know the comment may sound more negative than positive, but I'd rate the video 8.5-9/10.

I remember mastering buck since year 2 when he “had one of the worst recoil guns” according to almost every good player. I got good with a reflex sight and Andes when he was one of the lowest picked operators.

If he gets more nerfs I’m done

@tmoney1487

They might remove his stun grenades if anything but thats not really the end of the world. Not much you can do to buck at least nothing i can think of off the top of my head except mess with his secondary gadgets. Messing with his gun does nothing as anyone can just go into the shooting range for 15 minutes and figure out the new recoil, as allergic as people seem to be when it comes to using that mode.

I honestly thought the Acog coming back would be great for the game, but I made the mistake of thinking they would be mainly giving defenders 1.0s while most attackers had 2.5, so that attackers could have advantage at range and on holding angles while defense could reposition faster and have an advantage in closer range. Unfortunately what we got was instead practically every insane gun on defense having a 2.5 so defenders can now spawn peek and hold angles from narnia with absolutely no counterplay

This editing is the best I have ever seen for a siege video, I hope to see more like it instant subscribe!!!!

The script and editing is crazy good, I was so invested despite always praising Siege for being such a creative game in the FPS genre, but have stopped playing it a few years ago; not realizing how the updates affected the game terribly. The editing by the end, while not your intention that it had less ADHD edits, honestly made it better. The fast edits for the concise highlights early on, while less of that by the end, so we can follow along with the longer points later on. I loved playing underpicked characters like Grim, but when they buffed his weapons, I was confused. I wanted to see the bees shine, not just my gun.

This is one of the best-made siege-related videos i've ever seen, you definitely deserve more than 4k subs. Also W Titanfall 2 mention :)))

Such a very well done video with some solid humor and editing. If you keep this style of video up you’ll do very well, if that’s what you want.

i had about 7500 hours in this game before i quit and it was purely because of the balancing team. i remember i used to play whoever because all the guns and gadgets were powerful to a point back then. whenever i return to play the game i sit at the operator selection screen and dont want to play anyone because they are all horrendous to play.

Taking away cooking frags did remove a skill aspect of the game, but that shit genuinely was a problem. They were so good that they made any operator that had them instantly better and there was nothing you could do to counter them if you didn’t have jager or wamai

Or because you could count on one hand how many ops had nades. They play an important role in the game as THE secondary for removing bullet proof utility and forcing defenders out of power positions. It's a niche that only the frag grenade filled properly. They were a vital part of many sight executes requiring someone to bring them. Say if only one set of nades needs to be brought every round on average and only 4 operators have access, no shit their pick rates are going to skyrocket. If ubi gives nades to one under performing operator there WILL be a huge surge in picks, if they gave out nades to five under performing operators the individual impacts would be much smaller. To countering nades just get good. If you got blown up by a cooked nade that means you were holding one vulnerable position for long enough for the attacker to realize were you are, cook their nade, and then throw it. Never hold one angle for that long, or if its an importation power position yeah bring jager or wamai. Even then the attacker has to already be in position to line up the throw or have to take extra time to get there. One thing I will admit though is that depth charged is really hard to deal with and what ultimately killed the gadget. That said they are really uncommon out side of pro and top ranked and it isn't my belief that such a small fraction of the community should be held over the much larger casual/semi-casual population. This is all just my opinion and, as you can probably tell, the frag nade changes really upset me. Nades existed just fine in sieges meta for YEARS and I think its sad to see such a long line of questionable balance decisions from ubisoft kill something so beloved.

​@@user-rk4fh5uy2jIf somebody is holding a an important vulnerable position, they should be defeated through interesting sight lines, not a simple and brain dead grenade cook. The maps are well designed enough that no one angle is truly fool proof, there is always a possible rotate to get an angle on somebody. And if that rotate isn't timely feasible then it should be your teammate's job. This is the game Ubi wanted to create, a game where the complex maps they designed get used to their full amplitude. A game where teams have to carefully consider how to divide into squads and what squads should accomplish what tasks in order to get the right sight lines opened. It's not perfect by any means, I think Azami's ability to play retroactively around attacker's pushes is fundamentally flawed and should be looked into, but all in all I actually like the game better now. The gunplay changes are also designed to serve the importance of sight lines. Camping is very powerful and it should be. If somebody is holding an angle you should have the disadvantage if you were to push him without flashes. And that's good. You shouldn't just swing him and ooh boy peeker's advantage 3 speed kill him. Just look at pro play from before and after these changes, you see way more of the maps getting utilized, defenders working hard on and allocating resources to defend walls so the attackers don't get the crucial sight lines. Walls which wouldn't have mattered as much before.

I don't get how devs in many games don't seem to understand this; there will always be a meta. Doesn't matter what you do, as long as there is more than one option and they're not the same, something will be seen as better. However, newsflash, that's fine! Players care about this a greater amount if the meta is 1-or-more of; boring, easy to use, unfun to play against, (and more...).

Haven't played in years but what you said makes sense and is why I still cant go back when ppl try to say it was coming back, I always said it will never die but it just wasn't fun like it used to be y2-y3 and I hate staring at same spot for 3 minutes being a quiet little mouse

Nice vid about a game I have not played in 5 yrs. Hope to see more :)

yeah the game started going in the wrong direction by late year 3, and in year 4 and onwards they just shit the bed

From what I have seen a game always seems to die out when the developers try to dictate the meta and make every option viable for competitive. You need goofy casual nonsense to get people interested in your game that's where the flavour and intrigue comes from. Team fortress 2 has lasted for an eternity off of its stupid casual nonsense even without any real developer support, a personal favourite of mine is Heroes of the storm, blizzards moba that they stopped all support for because of lack of income is again still going strong thanks to silly casual stuff. Just let people have fun and the game will be good, it's not that hard.

This video hit the nail on the head perfectly. Siege was a game I'd play with my friends for hours a day after school in 2019-2020 but now each new update feels like a curbstomp that makes me appreciate the past state of Rainbow Six Siege even more.

Pretty much sums up the last 6 years I've played the game, 10/10.

I like the focus on slowing the game down and making it more tactical and gadget focused as opposed to everyone constantly wiggling and dolphin diving but they really ought to provide a fun alternative if they’re gonna do it. t. Old guy who loves OG R6 games and thinks jiggle peeking looks stupid

this is the fundamental issue with operator based shooters it happened with overwatch and valorant and its been happening with siege since the beginning in the pursuit of new content to keep the game "fresh" and "exciting" they typically add something that will either be broken or underpowered leading to its overuse or lack of use, accomplishing neither one of the "fresh" and "exciting" objectives; i.e powercreep i think a lot of these devs need to take a look at a game like CS and realize that people dont need new content all that often to enjoy the game, especially a COMPETITIVE shooter. just make sure you have well designed maps, a half decent anticheat, and really you're just golden

This is an amazing video, your work really paid off

1)The editing is stellar 2)Bring back night maps you cowards I guess game has had so many issues ubi got too used to handholding. now they think they must handhold at all times or the game's broken. And the thing is, it's still broken despite all the changes. Also, man i liked the last season's changes, everyone thought 1.5 is too op and were glad it's going away, guess it's not that simple huh? And such a focus on esports at the expense of all and any fun the game could have, it's like they don't give an f about the actual game, they want esports because tournaments = sponsors = money. And lastly i think siege's playerbase is too loyal for it's own good, ubi can afford to make the worst changes and the core playerbase still sticks around. Just shows you how rotten to the core ubi is as a company, they just happened to hire guys that made siege that was good, and now those guys are gone, ubi does f all but since the core product is good enough they don't suffer the consequences

Now you have to slow down and actually think about your plays and drone ahead, instead of just flicking onto someones head then ADSing and shooting in a reactionary way.
