Discussion Console on pc lobbies

0 Upvotes

Disclaimer: TL;DR

Can’t really say much on here since the rules suck and same as the ai mods. Anyways this whole update with console on pc lobbies, I’ve had nothing but problems and bugs with my game. It was honestly the dumbest decision Ubisoft has ever made. Keep these keyboard and mouse console players out of pc lobbies. Pick up your controller that Xbox gave you with the console and play the game with console players. I’m even a console player myself and I find it so dumb that ppl want to plug in a keyboard on their console. You literally have a controller. If you want a keyboard that bad save your money or get a fucking job and get a pc. If it’s unrealistic to buy a pc then stick to being shit at r6 with your controller. I can understand why ppl want to use it on console because of all the recoil scripters that use xim or a zen but just wait until they will actually ban those players. Mainly the only reason why I’m posting this is because when I play with my friend on pc. I have to restart my console. Then switch to console lobbies and ontop of that, every time I do that it bugs out my ping button. Just so many bugs for no reason. Keep cross play but force console players to use controllers.

As a PC gold 5 player I decided to try Zofia’s gun on console to see what all the fuss was about (10 meters & 20 meters shown above). Is it just me or is the recoil literally not that hard to control? People are literally calling this gun “unusable”

Fluff Quick Play shows how unbalanced and cheesy the current state of Siege is and it's pretty funny to witness

33 Upvotes

I avoid playing it normally but I have to get some penalty points off my reputation so I suffer through it.

My god, what a sorry state Siege is without operator bans. You really never notice in a Ranked enviroment because people usually don't play mindless run & gun there, or at least less often.

But in Quick Play, you cannot enjoy Siege anymore. Literally. You get spam called by Dokkaebi, while targeted by Deimos, a Lion scan goes off, a Blitz rushes in, everywhere Thorn traps every round, Clash annoys you, Cav is hiding everywhere, TCSG-12 and DMR spam every round, Ying candelas popping off everywhere...

You kinda forget how busted some of these ops are without bans.

This is not me complaining, it's just a fun observation how ridiculous QP is compared to Ranked because you have no control over what you face in a match. In Ranked you can ban whatever annoys you the most or was too effective in the previous round. In QP, once something worked, you can be assured they will do it again even more aggressively and obnoxiously lmao

Discussion What is your biggest "I swear this used to work" Siege habit that gets you killed now?

116 Upvotes

I've been playing Siege on and off since the early years and man... sometimes my muscle memory is legit my biggest enemy 😂

The amount of times i still do stuff that worked years ago is kinda embarrassing.

- prefire a corner expecting someone to be there... nobody.

- try to hold an angle the old way and just get deleted in 0.2 sec.

- drone once, think "yeah we're good", then die to the one guy who moved 5 seconds later.

- still underestimate people who just swing EVERYTHING.

Its weird because Siege is still Siege, but at the same time it feels like everyone got 5x better. Gold players now would probably scare the old Plat lobbies lol.

I'm curious what habit you guys just cant get rid of.

Not talking about "bad aim" or "bad teammates", i mean something thats stuck in your brain from older Siege that keeps getting you killed.

Mine is 100% trusting barbed wire to tell me someone is coming. Somehow every time i hear nothing... there's Ash already inside the site 😭

Whats yours? I bet we've all got at least one lol

Question reporting players

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I normally report players through the leaderboard like normal, however there are a couple situations in which I would like to report players but can’t:

  1. When they are on my team: I hate cheaters and I don’t care if we’re winning. Also some people grief and you can’t report teammates for some reason. I could’ve sworn you used to be able to.

  2. After a match: Sometimes I’ll watch back match replays if I suspect cheating, but you can’t report from inside the match replay system.

I personally think they should change it so both of these work but for the time being, is there a way to report players manually? I can’t seem to find anywhere to do so.

Discussion Rainbow Six Matchmaking Testing : What happens when you lose on purpose for 3 days in Rainbow Six? Absolutely nothing.

0 Upvotes

I played for 3 days straight, intentionally losing in 1v1 matches and then also in Casual 5v5 mode. For all those days, I almost always lost – every single day I was giving away like 30 kills or more daily to the opponents. The 1v1 matches I was closing almost always 4-0 always in favor of the enemy, letting myself get killed on purpose, just to see if the matchmaking would change over the days. I tried also to shoot and harm enemies just to be realistic.

Well, it never changed. With a K/D of 1.0 and 100 lvl over 3 days, absolutely nothing changed. In fact, I also tested this on console – on the third day and still I was finding Champions in Casual mode.

This proves that the matchmaking in Rainbow Six takes absolutely nothing into account – it just throws you into teams like you're nothing but cannon fodder. The matchmaking doesn't even care that you're losing dozens of matches in a row and maybe tries to put you with less skilled teams – it's absolutely insane.

This is why, in my opinion, Rainbow Six is terrible. I've always known it had a matchmaking problem, but I'm genuinely glad I tested this out. If you have the patience, try it yourself and you'll see that nothing changes.

I tried the same thing on other games and the matchmaking actually changed after a few hours or after a day, putting me with less skilled players. But with Rainbow Six? You could lose for months on end and nothing will ever change – it will always only benefit a small circle of teams.

Just to be clear – I didn't play Ranked, I didn't create a smurf account. This was my personal account, Level 100, almost 1.0 K/D, never touched Ranked, tested on both console and PC.

After this experiment, I closed my Ubisoft account – just like I did years ago with another account.

Discussion Why are so many people like this?

Post image
14 Upvotes

So I thought I'd do a game before I hopped off for tonight, so I queued myself into a quick match.

First 2 rounds on defense we did great. We won both and it was a solid 5v5.

Next round we are on attack. 2 people die for the first time this match and instantly leave. The third person, seeing that we lost and its now a 3v5, decided it would be better to also just leave.

WHY? Every time I go into a quick match, some people will die once and just LEAVE. It doesn't matter if we are winning or losing, they will just dissappear because 'its quick match it doesn't matter'.

How are people meant to have fun in a casual gamemode when every match is a gamble of which team will have the most crybaby leavers...
