Oh fuck off. Ranked solo queue is fucking dumb because 1) you're playing by yourself when most people play with friends and 2) it's random if you get a competent team or not. You make it sound like a good player can 1v5 every lower rank match by himself. Look at Kixstar, arguably one of the best Siege players in the world, and he was stuck bouncing around in Platinum when he was solo queuing at the start of this season.

Copper is generally for players who are very new to games and/or fps games in general. Typically if you're in copper it means you're missing the fundamentals.

Silver is when you've got the basics down.

Gold is when you've started learning more advanced strategies.

Platinum is where you've learned a decent amount of more advanced strategies.

Diamond is when you have the advanced strategies down pat.

I solo'd to Diamond in season 4, when it was easy to get but still. I had a string of lucky matches where I carried the shit out of my team and won multiple clutches, but it was pretty much luck that the stars aligned for me while nobody on my team was making callouts or doing anything significant. This is a heavily team based game and there is so much luck involved in solo queue.

>I can't get good with Mira in other maps so that means no one can be good with her there

There's barely any difference between ranked and casual besides picking spawn and better players in ranked.

How about an attacker that can hack into the defenders cameras?

>>172985369
This is the most asinine complaint I've ever seen

>>172985812
Pretty stupid.

Would tank Valkyrie's pick rate, and would not be a game changer because default cameras are not particularly good and are usually taken out quickly.

It's like giving free candy to the defenders and then saying "but don't eat it because I'm gonna poison it as well"

>>172985369
There are some spots where she's god tier, like on Kafe if you C4 the wall between the top floor bathroom and freezer and put 2 miras on the wall into cigar lounge, open one, now you have a perfect way to deny cigar lounge with lots of rotation.

>>172986215

Oh absolutely. When Mira works, she works great. Being able to add that mirror to the wall in closet of master bedroom is entirely game changing on that map

It just really feels like such a weird trade off, because on a few maps she is pretty much just a wasted pick - but even when you look at Castle even on his bad objectives, he's still a little useful for locking off rooms or blocking a window or whatever.

Protip: You can get away with Mira-next-to-unreinforced, Mira-on-unreinforced, Double-Mira, (all these for EZ wallbangs) and Vanilla Mira for Information all brilliantly in this map if you just get creative.

Don't place them on the objective, necessarily (and obviously not showing canister to outside windows). Teammates should be guarding indoor flanks.

Clearly you don't understand what the hell you're talking about

Mira is an operator that requires teamwork, like Castle - although active. Castle's barricades are a passive element that are set and forgotten, when the defensive team already knows where they will be and they are placed in such a way that doesn't alter team rotations.

Mira needs teamwork and actively working your tool to squeeze the juice out of it. You get the effort that you put in. If you're going to complain that Mira is not viable because "but anon if I get flanked I lose abloobloo" yeah no shit retard, that's why you have teammates guarding positions and why you place Mira windows so that they're not directly visible from outside looking windows.

>>172988758
>Operator literally requires you to dedicate an entire team around using her well
>Even when this occurs she still isn't that good overall because she is fighting against the map to squeeze that juice
>Most other operators in the game do not have these handicaps or considerations

Just admit you are way out of your depth and come to the realization that that because at your level of play the enemy are complete shitters doesn't mean your strategies are optimal or would work against opponents with the IQ rivaling that a gnat.

>>172988758
this is correct
when mira is on the field, defenders have to play around her to make the most of her gadget

it's like dustline when attackers would organize themselves all around their blackbeard and make plays that way

>>172989136
Dumb frogposter. What is this thread for if not gameplay discussion?

>>172988758
Does she really need that much of teamwork? Because in some objectives like Consulate garage (or garages in general) and Kafe she's fine playing solo as far as I've seen.

>>172989092
>it's like dustline when attackers would organize themselves all around their blackbeard and make plays that way

Except what you described in Dust Line didn't happen exactly the same way - it was the sort of realization that the Attacking team will ALWAYS have a Blackbeard on it, so you tended to work to strength since you know 2/5 slots were already taken up. But even then, Blackbeard just being a window memer was still enough to tilt matches drastically in your favor. But you are never really locked into a strategy, because really your strategy can literally be "Let Blackbeard loose and wreak havoc over there"

If you remember tho, the Defender meta ALSO changed to account for Blackbeard - it was probably the low point of R6S tbqh

What he is suggesting is that if Mira is present, on a map where she is severely handicapped, the ENTIRE Defender strategy has to adapt and pamper her specifically. If not, she's basically a wasted pick. On some maps she is god tier even on her own, and on most maps but some objectives she's fine without any support.

The difference is subtle, but significant enough to break it down.

>>172989081
>Operator literally requires you to dedicate an entire team around using her well
Not the entire team is needed. Everyone does need to know its position and status (broken/unbroken), and it needs to be placed in such a way that minimizes risk for the defenders if it is compromised, but which also maximizes use when it isn't. Defenders that are playing other important positions will already be playing those positions almost all of the time even if Mira isn't on the field because those are just the typical defenses you see on those maps. (Unless you're playing Casual or low level ranked and you have retards with no coordination)

>Even when this occurs she still isn't that good overall because she is fighting against the map to squeeze that juice
Quite the contrary, she's using the map to her advantage. In a game where prefiring is everything, I'd say getting prefires off reliably on someone is absolutely invaluable. And even if you're only using it for information, those are direct Valkyrie cameras right outside the objective that are working for you and which you can use to communicate shit to your roamer(s).

>Most other operators in the game do not have these handicaps or considerations
You can play Defense without Mira perfectly. Mira adds a new way, and new considerations, to play Defense. If you want to do good with her and reap the benefits, then you need to abide by those. If you can't do that and want to play her without thinking, you can simply come to a vietnamese basket weaving forum to cry about how she's useless (because you don't want to learn).

>>172989701
Mira does not mandate teamwork in all objectives, she can do fine solo sometimes. But she shines with teamwork.

what about this

>>172989812
>on a map where she is severely handicapped, the ENTIRE Defender strategy has to adapt and pamper her specifically. If not, she's basically a wasted pick
THIS is the problem. No other defender bogs their team down just because they were pipcked on a wrong map.

>>172990578
It's not that you're picking her on the wrong map, it's that you're not adapting your defense to use her properly. If your team doesn't want to do that, then don't pick her. Leave the other teams that do know how to use her in that scenario do that against you.

This is like saying that you're getting handicapped by Castle because a bad Castle player that doesn't know where to place their barricades /a team that doesn't know where the funnels they should be guarding are and have to take down their own castlecades because of lack of communication means that Castle is bad on certain maps.

Such is the nature of these ops. You get from them exactly what you put in.

and adding ~50 more fucking ops and mechanics to it seems like it's just going to make it burst its seams and spill its guts

>>172991858

Is there a reason everyone seems to use ACOG sights? My aim seems to be slightly thrown off by them, possibly due to the magnification.

>>172991965
If nothing else I see one huge problem with it
Reinforced Wall - centric operators.

Thermite and Hibana are staples of most matches. You usually see one or the other, or both. The only way defenders used to interact with reinforced walls was by denying breaches (Bandit/Mute) and now Mira (can make windows/holes in them).

Now:
>If they add ~50 more ops and none of them involve reinforced wall fuckery
Siege is doomed to almost always having Thermite or Hibana to make an attack viable, Bandit/Mute will be picked for denying them, and Mira will be picked when her team wants to turn the blade on the attackers, for all eternity, and game enjoyment/balance will heavily rely on these pillars and how they are treated.

>If they add ~50 more ops and some of them involve reinforced wall fuckery
You could end up with a situation where you have FIVE (5) reinforced wall fucking attackers ready to make many objectives in the game indefensible. Even on defense, if you add more "deniers" it would be boring, and I can't possibly see what other kind of interaction you could have with a reinforced wall other than denying it or Mira'ing it.

So basically going forward, they are fucking themselves over because the meta relies too heavily on reinforced walls. The game was designed and balanced with a few in mind (like the ones we've seen), but going up to 50 sounds like a recipe for disaster because of the sheer reliance in-game for playing with or around reinforced walls.

>>172992452

ehhh

>>172992235
ACOG's are often used because they give you versatility in engagement distances.

It allows you to get clearer pictures at a distance to get headshots and they do not hinder close-quarters use sufficiently to disencourage their use (at least for most people). x1 sights allow you to do close-quarters easy, but can be difficult to land distance shots precisely to their head.

If you are new to the game though, like the OP FAQ says, it's best to stick with 1x sights at first because otherwise you're going to tunnel vision hard as you won't know the maps or the places to pre-aim.

>>172993389
Why are you complaining about fun?

>>172992872
We're already close to 50 operators since we'll have a total of 36 operators by the end of this year.

>>172991965
There's only so many ways you can breach a wall and they pretty much nailed them all on the first try. Whoever they're adding now is pretty much guarunteed to be redundant in some way. They've even admitted so themselves; paraphrase: we're okay with some operators doing the same job.

And that opens up several problems:
1.) Continued development of operators for boomerang players that don't stick with the game means known issue list gets bigger and bigger and bigger
2.) Feature creep makes it harder for new players to enter the game because them trying to make a Team Comp out of 25 (assuming 25 for each side) options is fucking insane
3.) Opens them up for exploitative pricing schemes a la Riot, in which a DLC Operator is so clearly better than the standard one, costs a lot of both in-game and IRL money, and only sees balances later when they cost less; we've already sort of seen this with Hibana, where Hibana was just a better Thermite in every way.
4.) Having operators being able to do the same jobs in a way opens up for "multiple character" meme comps. Even though you can't pick the same character twices, you can pick several characters that do the same job. And if those ops are all reinforced wall fuckers, I bet we would see plenty of "Thermite - Hibana - 'Rustbreaker or whoever' " comps.

All in all, I think point 1 is the most serious. This game seriously needs to be fixed before we get more content. Most of the new maps aren't even that good.

>>172993762

We kinda barely get any content to be honest

2 new characters and a map?

Is 100+ ping considered bad?

>>172993762
>boomerang players
I feel like in the long run they might be the deathknell of Siege. They're the flashy bit of the updates that temporarily boost sales, but if the game underneath is rotting away with the same old issues eventually the staying power might fade (even though it hasn't now).

In a way it's a catch 22 because if people boycott the game for Ubisoft to fix the fundamentals, the game dies. If they keep playing because they like the game, ubisoft will see zero reasons to actually fix their game because people are playing despite the shitty things and continue to pump out the things that are more marketing friendly like new ops.

>>172994068
>2 new characters and a map

we get 4 times more content a year than overwatch tho

>>172994129
Not really. 200 ping is bad. 150~ is pushing it but okay. Everything below 130 is okay.

>>172992452
Absolutely correct.

This issue will also compound with other operators. At the moment, Siege is pretty close to being (relatively) balanced, plus or minus a few buffs/nerfs here and there. It's certainly not as bad as the Pulse/Roamer Plague that nearly killed the game last year. But balance is a difficult thing. Too many operators will undoubtedly mean some will have too many counters to be viable. You see this problem already with Castle, who is essentially countered by every attacking operator.

>>172991175
I think higher skill floor, rather than ceiling.

>>172994149
I just blame the gaming community for being willing to accept this. Games are usually better off when developers try to strip the fat and keep what works, but more content works better for the back of the box.

Of course, I'm to blame too for also playing this shit.

>>172994068
We get 8 new operators and 4 maps a year, and maybe 1 - 2 meme balance patches where the devs balance things that no one even complained about. That's a decent amount of content, but it's not content that the game needs. Some games used to get 10 patches a a year just to keep up with balance and bug issues, which this game needs.

It's not like the new content exactly has been stand-out either. We have a few ridiculously good operators (even though I'm not against the addition of ops like Mira and Valkyrie since the on-point Defenders rarely get any intel at all) and the rest are forgettable, share a job with someone, or are just doing their job but better (Hibana) and the maps aren't that good either. Border and Favela are a joke. Yacht and Skyscraper are mediocre, and Coastline is good but not as good as it could have been.

>>172994710

You take it like the game is a way of life

What about a Defender that deploys a Booby-trap of sorts on a single Reinforced Wall, and has no clues/indications that it is booby trapped from the outside?

Thermite tries to put a breach on it, wall explodes and he dies
Hibana tries to shoot pellets on it, they bounce back to her and she gets downed (at least)

>>172991190
Personally I want simple things like Rook.
I wouldn't be surprised if they go with some "Attacker/Defender version of X" operators. While I don't think another sniper will ever be implemented, I've seen attacker Doc suggested before.

A booby trap based around fuze charges or breaching charges is cool

>>172995254
Wait, how would it bounce the pellets back to hibana? Does it activate when the attacker puts a gadget on a wall or when they try to activate it?

>>172995470
No idea, I didn't think it through that far

>>172995470

It wont be for Thermite or Hiabana

Think of a rigged barricade of sorts has a loud beeping noise and the trap is destroy is you just regularly destroy the barricade with melee

Use your imagination, bruh. Mira is great once you think outside the box.

>Oregon
You can completely control the meeting room and lobby/classroom/garage by placing two mirrors at crouch level on the single walls near the double door.
Great for holding downstairs or upstairs.

>Hereford base
Reinforce and put a mirror on the exterior dining room wall for early picks on anybody rushing the trench on on the opposite roof.
Good for all objectives.

>All garage defence locations
Put a mirror on the main garage wall, open it then lob a C4 to deny a Thernite charge and kill the Thermite too.

Except this statement is 100% false. With every other OP an equivalent investment of planning and teamwork gives you far higher returns with that operator. And, conversely, few Operators can fuck a defending team as bad as Mira can, where the only way to hurt your team as badly as an inconviniently popped mirror would be to play maliciously and actively try to undermine your team

anyways, dont worry about it, getting used to this game always take time

the easiest operators to play and first unlock are, on attack thermite or tatcher, and in defense rook or mute, what they do is pretty straightforward, when attacking, follow your teammates at all times, and while defending just play more passively until you learn the ropes and get more used to the game pace and mechanics

On defense just spam rook and camp the objective while you get familiar with the game.
On offense, maybe take someone like Montagne and use your extended shield alot, or take Thatcher so that you are always useful. But yeah, lots of trail and error.

>>173013985

>>173013985
Dude, when I first started out in Siege here was the BASIC tip I learned:

>On Attack
Pick a vital, assist role, like Thermite, Thatcher, maybe Hibana but maybe not since she's a bit more advanced or somebody supplemental like Sledge, and then STICK to your teammates. Pick someone who is useful, and fucking follow them. Watch their back, learn the map like this. You will learn all the ways in which an Attacker will attack objectives on maps, and learning the map this way.

>On Defense
Pick an operator and defend the objective either directly in the room, or next room over. DO NOT ROAM. You will learn how defenders defend objectives this way

Do not use this as an opportunity to learn the map until you have a half decent understanding of it and how attackers will likely play.

Can that still be done or did it get patched out? I know there have been other map changes, like Glaz no longer being able to outright destroy the plane windows, and the vaultable trees in Kafe. Etc.

Walks right into my C4 as I'm trying to make a path between boombas

>>173024281
It's your fault for wasting c4 to make holes

Guys, guys.
I got the game two days ago and have been playing casuls. I am level 13.

Is there an in-depth guide to fortifying? I head all the time shit like "as a thermite, you need to take most critical walls" and stuff like that, but which walls ARE critical? I'm not even playing thermite, but when I'm playing bandit, I just basically throw batteries around randomly, because I have no fucking clue which wall will they go for.

Pls no "play for X years and you'll learn it from experience".

:0 i heard on /V/ i can find ppl to run with,hopefully for PS4,is this true? Anyone willing? Post PSN's if your available.Have a blessed day!

>>173024428
Eh, fair point. I tend to get more kills with my gun usually. But I'll keep that in mind next time

>>173024494
>Pls no "play for X years and you'll learn it from experience".
But you need some map knowledge to understand which walls are worth fortifying or breaking.
As a general rule these are outer walls that have no adjacent doors

>>172992452
I know this is a really old topic but I wanted to add onto it just a little something: another reason that having 50 operators is a bad idea is for the simple fact that it will be constantly changing the meta over and over. In the article they say they have 50 operators planned like it's all laid out for them they just need to put it into action, but if you've been following the game for the past year you know that's simply not true.

The entirety of Year 1 was basically buffing roamers and nerfing on-site defenders because before they started Year 1 stuff they saw that only a few people roamed and they thought it wasn't dynamic enough. So they made operators and maps that encouraged roaming and discouraged on-site defense. That's why we ended up at Roamer cancer end of Year 1.

Year 2 has just started and it's pretty clear that they were trying to balance it out with the introduction of Jackal, Mira, and Coastline. And the mid-season balance patches also reek of "knee-jerk reactions." They don't really have a plan, they're just forced into the 50 operator thing because of Ubisoft.

>>173024494
Generally, you want to fortify walls that are facing outside the building as those will be the first the enemy will see and probably try to blow up for faster irruption.
Garage doors are a prime example.

Despite your inb4, you indeed need to play a while to learn the best spot for using bandit or other defensive tools. Look at the OP, there are a few links that will help you learn maps faster.

Map knowledge is the most important thing to play this game effectively.

>>173025036
Changing the meta is good IMO.
What's the point of adding new ops if people will always use the same old 5 over and over again.
Might as well stop making new ops altogether

>>173025736
There is a difference between changing "the meta" in terms of viable strategies the enemy can run, and having to plan for them

And "changing the meta" to mean "You can never defend the objective room ever again again because 800hp shield BB will peek your objective and kill everyone in it, so 5/5 defenders HAVE to roam"

>>173025951
Yeah, they fuck up, but now you have a viable attacker.
Imagine if they released BB with a shield that could only withstand 2 bullets, nobody would pick it and everyone would simply keep playing their old attacker, using the same old strategies.

You guys are just angry because you can't be fucked to learn new ways to attack/defend and get turbo mad when the only strategy you bothered learning fails terribly each time a new op is released

>>173026172
>we get mad when Ubisoft has a net reduction in overall gameplay variety because they added a character that, by any measure, is severely overpowered

whats your point?

>>173026487
No, what's YOUR point? Because you seem to advocate for total stagnation.
BB has been fixed and he's now a viable op, glaz will hopefully be fixed too to become a good op.
This game would become boring after the first two seasons if no new ops are released.

Yes, Ubi gonna Ubi, but I'd rather have a new OP operator that will be fixed in a few weeks rather than having the same old ops and seeing the same old 3 strategies, the same murder holes and the same team picks

>>173026172
Are you seriously trying to defend old Blackbeard?

The operator that everyone unanimously said was OP?

Also, yeah, changing the meta for the sake of changing the meta is kind of a shitty thing to do, especially when the meta is being changed by feature creep like new operators. It's what happened with League.

>>173027097
No, I'm defending current BB

>>173027134
Then why are you attacking legitimate criticisms about old BB?

>>173026796
We're not talking about no new ops. Frost/Buck and Cav/Cap were super amazing additions that didn't fuck up the meta but did severely changed how we have to approach the game.

Mira is a huge, huge change in a GOOD way. In many situations she can really challenge Attackers and fuck them hardcore, and you have to plan around it, whereas Jackal can be seen as a bad addition, since he discourages gameplay strategies (no way to know if they pick jackal, yet he can fuck your footsteps even if they are 90 seconds old with no real way to not get fucked).

There is a fine line between balance. BB was not a good addition, and was a net negative to the game for many months.

>>173027209
That's not what I was saying at all.
My point is that I'm ok if I have to bear with an OP operator for a few weeks as long as it gets fixed and forces people to change tactics and team rosters.

So yeah, old BB was annoying, but now he's ok and can be used effectively, which I think is miles better than if BB never existed.

New meta > no meta change

Most likely they will start making derivatives of operators we already have. Obvously they will have some established archetype like breachers, support, etc. So at the end of the day when we get to those higher numbers, there has to be a ban system. That makes the game moba like and honestly I don't like that direction. Part of me goes more operators, but I know that they will run out of unique ideas.

As a thought experiment, design a unique shield operator with a distict gadget that separates him from the other shield users.

>>173027210
Jackal was a NECESSARY addition because of what they did to buff roamers. And while playing against Cav is subjective (everyone else in the game is super loud to hear but her, fuck Cav) she was UNNECESSARY at the time of her addition because she was compounding on the problem of roamers getting more and more powerful. Additions like Hibana while not necessarily being bad also compounded on this by nerfing on-site defending by proxy.

Mira is a good addition simply because she gives the on-site defenders something they desperately need, which is a way to turn the tides on the attackers before the attackers can turn the tides on the Defenders.

>>173027492
roamers are weak if you drone and if you punish them by taking the objective head on if they're too many roamers

>>173027486
Okay, okay okay

check this:
He doesn't even use a gun, and he has akimbo fucking shields.

>>173027683
additionally they're only really super strong against uncoordinated teams.

>>173027483
That's great in theory but it seems like we get maybe 3 months of relatively good balance before shit hits the fan again or new ops completely trash the balance of the game again, at which point it takes 6 months to fix them because 25-man team with 3 months to shit out new characters.

And ultimately I think that at least 1 or 2 of these patches need to forgo any kind of addition of operators, maybe a new map, but seriously focus on the huge known issue list, fixing the netcode, polishing the matchmaking system, GETTING RANKED OUT OF FUCKING BETA ALREADY AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUES PEOPLE HAVE WITH IT.
>>173027486
I already discussed the possible problems I see with this direction in >>172993762. And yes, I'm also against the MOBA-like direction that this game is going in because I played League for a few years and hated seeing old champs I liked to play become essentially useless compared to newer champs and reworks.

>>173027483
We are NOT talking weeks dude. We are talking MONTHS or sometimes in excess of a year for Ubisoft to fix obvious design / balance issues.

We are advocating that we want Ubisoft to not suck shit, or for the game to not become cancerous shit for months on end. It was nearly 5 months of broken BB, and a few more months until he reached his current spot. It was not good for the overall health of the game.

>>173027492
>Jackal
>Necessary

Just because you need anti-roamer OP's does not mean you need to introduce a character who has no interesting Risk/Reward design. People talk about things like a motion sensor OP, which would feed into that sort of design easily. It's also why they added Claymores.

Your argument about "I would rather have gamebreaking Operators, than no operators" is not what we want. We want Ubisoft to be competent, since the actual DLC release schedule is paltry as fuck and they have plenty of time to look at their design document and say "Hmmm yeah maybe this is too fucked"

>>173027492
Not the guy you are talking with, just jumping in.
Jackal would not been needed if they did not reinforce roles. I dislike it when a game balances or adds things that reinforces roles. At the start the base characters were unique and you could not immediately point out he/she is a set roamer or a set point defender. They could be played both ways. When they added Frost, that was the start to the roamer role, she would want to place her traps on the map. Then Valk had cameras and she was seen as a roamer cause she needed to place her cameras out and about. Ok she could be played on site is kind of good at roaming, Then here comes Cav who's only function is to roam. There you go, you built a character who only has one core function. You cemented roaming in away as an official thing. Later down the line you know have Jackal, to be honest, who's gadget is built around anti-roaming. That is his main core function which sucks.

The only thing I can equate to is League of Legends. To me the meta is just plain stagnant. 1 top lane, 1 mid, 1 jungle, 2 bot lane. This has been the preset meta since a long time now. And the group finder just reinforces that. No longer will we have weird comps or positions cause the game is now mostly balanced around this meta.

I hope I made sense.

>>172995470
How about some kind of trap that fires a shot when a gadget hits it?

or some kind of reverse fuze with smoke instead.

>>173027750
So just a more horizontal Montagne. That is a derivative and not unique.

>>173028327
Wrong thread but my brother somewhat got me into this game.

>>173028574
Well it is one of the better CCGs out there, if you don't mind weeb.

>>173028341
Okay okay okay

this crazy motha fucka has a shield, right? Well he can place it down like a deployable, without being hella exposed, and then this nigga has an SMG as well.

>>173027486
This might be a unique shield operator but his gadget might/will encroach on other operator's gadgets. When you look through the glass of the shield, it has a special built in scanner/camera view. IDK what you would detect but basically this shield gadget would be in the intel category.

>>173028228
>Later down the line you know have Jackal, to be honest, who's gadget is built around anti-roaming. That is his main core function which sucks.

I just want to add onto your point - it's not that Jackal is anti-roaming per say, it's that his risk:reward ratio disproportionately impacts roamers. Simply having a Jackal on the enemy team can take you out of a fight, easily, for 30 seconds (or 90 seconds if he really wants to fuck with you), and since getting Jackal scanned fucking sucks, and you can't make the determination whether or not Jackal is on the enemy team until it's too late, it just kind of emphasizes non-roaming in a very boring, and bland way.

>>173028719
Almost like a defender style shield? That is unique I give you that. The problem would be the playstyle. Shield Attackers want to push forward on to the point. You don't win games often by holding back to hold a point. It is counter intuitive.

>>173028840
In the recent Pro League matches, I guess last week, how often was Jackal used? I mean apparently they don't even use Cav in high level plays often.

>>173012169
>Fuze pops up in front of the window
>THUNK THUNK THUNK
>Blows the window out in the process
That'd be fucking incredible

>>173027486
Shield op that has a 1/2 time use gadget that works like Big Boss' Sonic arm thing in MGSV. Pings enemies within a sphere of X yards

Shield Op whose gadget is a machine pistol, but can only fire full auto when ADS.

Shield Op who is a secret homosexual, but his country isn't progressive enough to accept him. His name is "Closet"

This is fun.

>>173028995
We'll see the pick rates soon, as reddit tends to compile them into charts.

It's going to be super damning if he's one of those operators who just shits on low/mid level play, but doesn't see play at high level.

>>173029112
I find it weird that any explosives can not puncture Mira's canister at all. That is a weird design decision.

I think I like Buck

>>173029276
Oh so I'm not retarded and that is a thing

>literally impossible to find a ranked game outside of late afternoon/primetime hours
This bothers me.

I think I like Frost

>>173029263
Man speaking of pick rates, should operators be balanced around the general masses or pro level? As a casual, I learned from the general masses that Castle sucks. But then I learn from the pro matches that castle is very useful and ok.

What is the best design decision?

>>173029481
pro
obviously

>>173029242
>>173028720
A shield that is created for intel gathering is unique compared to the other shields. This is interesting.

>>173029242
This is not really a gadget but a loadout?

As a Defender I always take Rook, dispense armors and just camp near the objective, killing peekers.

As an attacker I usually take Thermite or Twitch, follow the ruckus and get me one or two kills.

I'm new at this game. 10hrs or so. Am I doing it right?

>>173029481
If you wanted to come up with a 100% statistical approach to it? You need to account for:

>Casual pick rate (Correlated with fun)
>Pro pick rate / High level ranked pick rates (Correlated with raw power)
>K/D ratios overall
>W/L ratios overall

But even just thinking critically about the first two can usually fix the most of your problems. If you see a character who isn't being picked much in pro, but is picked often in casual, odds are he is fun to play or has a very low barrier to entry

For example, if we got our hands on the stats and saw that Echo has a much lower pick rate in casual than in pro, it means that there is something that makes him inaccessible to lower skill players or players who don't have pre-mades. One observation you could make to this end, is how you can't mark targets, removing an entire element to his gameplay that, if you have a mic, you would still have. One suggestion to upping his pick rate might be, when you fire his Yokai blast, it marks for everybody on your team where you fired it (Implying attackers are here, easier time communicating when the drone has fired the blast)

This is just one example, and I don't know if this is reflected in reality, but that is one way you would seek to improve casual rate without necessarily impacting his pro pick rate

It all depends on finding the right balance.

>>173029643
Yea, the Machine Pistol would be the crux of the kit, but he'd need a gadget, it would probably just be something minor as a result.


Next idea: Shield Op that, like the rest, is 1 speed, however his "gadget" is a charge move that allows him to run in a straight line quickly until he collides with something. Breaks through non-reinforced walls, but you need a good running start.

>>173029753
You did exactly what I did ages ago minus twitch. Just slowly unlock all the base characters. From there you can slowly branch out to other characters. Remember, every death or loss is somthing to learn from. I wish you luck.

>>173029753
You're doing fine imo.

Just keep trying to learn the maps and abondon any fear of asking your team questions.

exo skeleton?

I'd play that

>>173029857
So his gadget is more like a skillset like Cav. This is unique compared to other shield users. It also adds a 3 armor breacher to the mix. Unless you count the fattys with normal breaching charges.

What's better.
High dpi with low in-game sensitivity
Or low dpi with high in-game sensitivity

>>173030407
high DPI, lower in game sensitivity

>>173030407
I prefer high dpi with low in-game sens

If your mouse is at its highest native DPI, you're squeezing as much detail from your sensors as you can, and you're reigning it in with the software to become manageable.

I've never understood why but in the CS culture ebin pros like using low DPI and high in-game sens, which to me is weird because you're actually limiting the capability of your hardware sensors and artificially bosting it through software.

Basically, if you look at your mouse pixel by pixel if you try to draw a diagonal line, you'll see that the former option will let you draw a straighter diagonal, while if you have the latter, you'll have a more jittery line at the pixel level because your sensor has been told to not pick up a lot of points.

I don't know if I'm explaining myself right here

>>173030407
>>173031380
note, it's NATIVE DPI, not highest DPI. If you go beyond your mouse's native DPI then it'll be just an artificial multiple of its highest sensor settings and you don't want that. Just set it to native or lower than native but close to it

If your mouse doesn't have a button to quickly switch between two DPI profiles (oine for normal usage and one for playing), then you might want to tone it down further because I can't imagine doing work/browsing with a super sensitive mouse at really high DPI

>>173031776
This is something that's confused me. I've read a bunch on DPI recently. So ideally, you want to be using Native DPI on your mouse, the 6th Windows mouse sensitivity setting (anything else is not accurately tracking) and an in-game sensitivity that supports it. Well I have a Logitech G502, and there's no information at all on its DPI. It claims to go to 12000 but that would be way too high of a DPI. Right now I'm using it at like 1250. What is the best I can do?

>>173031776
I'm using my mouse at 3500 always, I can't stand lower dpi for work desu.

>>173032397
Google "native DPI Logitech G502", it should be on some technical chart product description somewhere. It always is, like even with the dimensions of how big the mouse is.

Also check to see if there's some official Logitech software that is what allows you to tweak the DPI to your liking and have multiple profiles etc.

For example my Steel Series Sensei goes up to 5670 native DPI, and has a button for quickswitching between profiles right at the top below the scroll wheel. That way I can have a profile for general use with a ~1200ish DPI and then 5670 for vidya. I even someitmes use the ~1200ish one for vidya when I can't easily lower the sensitivity in-game enough for my tastes.
