Watching Elon struggle with Twitter is the closest we will come to knowing what would happen if gamers took over decision making on their games. The more obvious your "solution" seems, the more likely it is that it's already been thought of and it isn't happening for a reason.
Thatcher is banned in 84% of matches yet his alternative (Kali) has less than a 5% presence. It's time to give a her a primary weapon that players will feel more comfortable with and seeing how this effects the game. Check out today's YouTube video for more on the topic.
The new map has confirmed something I have suspected for a very long time. The people who are still playing Siege are the hardcore sweats and the casual playerbase has moved on.
A thread about how Siege has changed:
This is Siege gameplay from about 2 months after release. 2 minutes into the round on old House and all 10 players are still alive. We spent a full minute as attackers walking around the top 2 floors with no shots fired.
The best argument against the Smoke change is that gamer logic would actually tell a new player that this character named Smoke with a big gas mask is going to be immune to his own smokes.
His name is literally Smoke.
If Fortnite removed building I will give at another go.
Not saying it should be permanent, but I respect them for having the guts to do something like this.
Most Siege players have never even played a match on Bartlet, but that won't stop them from telling me how simililar it is to the new map.
I see a few similarities, but I wouldn't call it a Bartlet rework and it's not going to play similar at all.
Thank you Brazil.
You are putting on the single greatest visual demonstration of the passion so many of us have felt for Siege over the last 9 years.
Only one team will lift the hammer, but this crowd has made the entire Siege Community the real winners.
Happy Birthday Siege.
Thank you for being the catalyst that lead to me meeting so many amazing people.
Thank you for changing me life.
Here is to 6 more.

Without a doubt, one of the proudest moments of my entire life. Thank you to everyone on the Dev Team that thinks I am deserving on this honor. Thank you to my community for all the support. Here is to a great year 7!
Anyone else get confused about resolutions...
1920x1080 is referred to as 1080.
2560x1440 is referred to as 1440.
4096x2160 is referred to as 4k???
My boomer brain can't handle it.
What an amazing day! Words can't express how much it means to see people genuinely excited to be able to rock my charm in game. This has been a dream come true! Thank you to everyone who showed me love in stream and on socials today! We are just getting started!
So I know this isn't going to be popular, but after watching the first day of Invite I feel like frag grenades are out of control. They have always been strong, but the combination of the Gonne 6 and yellow ping have really sent them over the edge in my opinion.
Shoutout to the decision to not allow Nighthaven Labs to be banned in Ranked. That was a gutsy call, but I think most people would say it has played out well.
You love to see it.
I'm so excited to announce a new series on my YouTube channel called The History of Rainbow Six Siege. Each episode will focus on one season of Siege and show old trailers, gameplay, memories, and opinions. Here is episode 1 about the launch of Siege:
Tomorrow morning, we will be releasing patch Y6S4.2.
In addition to the usual tweaks, it will start to lay the groundwork for our next season in multiple ways.
To start, we wanted to explain some of the reasoning on upcoming verification for Ranked. 📱
I'm in the lowest point of my Siege life no doubt. I can't do anything right. I'm actually kind of excited to work my way out of this though. It's going to be fun and it should be some good content as well.
Playing Siege the "right" way can feel like a chore.
I would argue the payoff of winning or outplaying the opponent makes it worth it, but someone on their 5th account would rather just rush on attack with an LMG than drone or open walls.
I think the big question regarding LMG's is this...
Is Zofia stronger now than she was before her AR got nerfed, or is she just more annoying?
It's very possible that the Devs are sitting on data that says she is not performing as well.
I'm convinced that the most realistic way that the cheating situation can be improved in Siege is that Ubisoft finds a way to make a ban mean something in siege across all player owned accounts not just the one that was cheated on. 1/2
My guess is that the lack of Siege communication is out of respect for what is going on in Ukraine. There has only been one tweet from the main account since it started.
This isn't a realism argument. I just think a new player would actually be surprised when they realize the Operator named Smoke actually takes damage from his own smokes.
How beautiful is this? There are new Black Ice skins in the Bravo Packs! Check out my video where I show the complete Bravo Pack collection and open 5 of them!
My office is empty and the nostalgia is hitting pretty hard. Thanks to everyone who supported the content that came out of this space over the last 4 years.
2022 was a transitional year for me, but also the best year of my life. I have a peace that I haven't felt in many years if ever.
Happy Holidays and here is to an even better 2023!
Not sure who needs to hear this but... When a content Creator is giving a tip that you already know, there are other people who didn't know it and appreciate that content.
Trust me, I would love to take credit for any Valkyrie nerf , but the outside camera nerf was not my idea at all. I think it's great don't get me wrong, it just isn't where my mind went with it. We will see how it plays out.
@MacieJay
I think you will see them take less risk with new IP's. My fear is that the game industry is going in the direction that the movie industry has been going for years. No risk. Just remakes and safe bets.
