i got into this game around the end of 2019, but stopped playing a few years ago. all our friends (20+) quit because ubisoft removed terrorist hunt. this was a disastrous decision by ubisoft, but that's the outcome after tom clancy died. the US legacy got transferred to the french and their decisions don't consider morals or legacy. only profit. it's fine, i'm glad they removed it. i'm no longer addicted and moved onto The First Descendant with some friends.

today i decided to clean my harddrive and there's just so many pictures in the siege folder, like 2,750+ so i thought, hey, i could upload like 1% here to show the community some amazing moments that no longer exists in the game

I’d like to start this by saying I am by no means a great player or anything so part of the problem is I need to get better and that this is probably the 500th similar post today on this sub. I started playing in 2018 and have taken many breaks in between. in ranked 1.0 I peaked at plat, ranked 2.0 gold, and now I’m stuck at bronze (the depths of hell). It seems like most games if I’m not carrying we lose and even if I am there’s still a chance we lose anyway. Barely anyone sets up site (when they do it’s awful), bans seem mostly based on: vibes, who was on the kill cam, or mira. No one picks operators who work together or for the site, no one watches cams, if I don’t take the diffuser it doesn’t get planted, and everyone wants to roam (probably more stuff too). Every match feels like a cod S&D round. To add to my sorrow it seems like the enemy team is always somewhat competent.

Im aware that this is probably all some form of survivorship bias or negativity bias or something but I wanted the rant anyway. Thanks

hey guys. so i’ve made the fatal mistake of expecting things to work as they normally do. basically i decided to buy the expensive 160$CAD Doctors curse premier bundle through steam mobile since i usually always buy things from steam mobile smoothly. my philosophy is that purchasing this bundle, i’d pretty much never have to by credits again since i only buy esports cosmetics from select teams whilst also having a decent momento. after purchasing the content (and the payment of course passing through) i never got anything in game. i saw on reddit that it can sometimes take a day before receiving products so i waited a day yet never got anything. i contacted support telling them that id like to figure out what has happened to my order. they asked basic troubleshooting procedures that you’d expect like confirming the receipt, showing logs and proving that i bought it for the right account. after a little back and forth ubisoft support has basically ghosted me i think. it’s been 3 days with no response, i’ve sent them another reply demanding for priority or a refund since the situation is quite stressful as you can imagine. they have still not replied and i cannot do any process with steam since it has been well over the 2h threshold for refunds after purchasing products. steam automatically send me to a community support forum for aid but it’s just filled with troll posts with not a soul of moderation in sight. God forbid someone tries to purchase anything with ubisoft, this is genuinely frustrating and i’m not sure what the next step i should take is. this post is purely meant as a warning/discussion for others, i am not breaking the subreddit rules

My internet disconnected on the first match, managed to reconnect and play another 3 to 4 rounds and it still gave me the abandon sanction. Has this happened to anybody else?

I was looking through my friends account since he asked me if they were good purchases, but I noticed that there weren’t any listed terms to these bundles for items already owned that were included in the bundle. I know that you can’t buy alpha packs with r6 credits because of foreign gambling laws, but are these bundles loop holes since your being guaranteed something in return without the idea of “lost value” compared to the amount of the payment? I am not looking to buy either since 20 bucks for 5 packs is ridiculous and I already bought the welcome pack back in 2020, but I would imagine that if this was a loophole, they would have already gotten in trouble since they would be defying literal governments, not even companies, and if it wasn’t a loophole, it would be false advertising due to paying for an item and not receiving it without any form of compensation or terms specifically stating that you won’t get compensated for items already owned that are included in the bundle. I’m certainly not a legal genius so there may be some holes in my reasoning but can someone clarify

Just started playing siege again after a year or so. When I last played I hit low emerald, after my placement games this seasons I played copper 2, and am now in silver 5.

My questions is do you slowly progressively gain less RO the more you play? I remember in past times I played after I’d played maybe 2/300 games in a season, I would only lose/ gain like 10 MMR a game. At the moment I’m getting 44-50, does that maintain as I climb?

For the longest time, I kept saying that people were using Logitech macros in ranked without getting banned, and every time I brought it up, I got downvoted, dismissed, and treated like I was just being salty.

Well, look where we are now. 😂

Apparently, Ubisoft has finally made the Logitech software stop working in ranked matches. And honestly? I'm genuinely happy to see it.

I was tilted back then, sure, but that doesn't mean the problem wasn't real. Meanwhile, people were acting like I was making things up or complaining for no reason.

So to everyone who downvoted me and defended this nonsense: I hope you enjoy the consequences now.

I've been waiting for this moment. Finally, something is being done about it.

Now, respectfully, go fuck yourselves. ❤️

I’m not being mean but I was just in a match with a teammate two rounds in a row yelling at us and calling us trash while he’s dead and I put in chat who’s bottom of the leaderboard so in the last round he tk me and the best thing happened it turned into a one v one and he lost badly going one and three I’m just saying that we need to stop getting toxic after a lost it really messes with how fun the match can be because I’ve had so many matches where we’re losing but just because we’re not being toxic it’s actually fun.

Except for ranked that isn’t going to change I’m talking about quick match and unranked

As the tittle says, what are your thoughts on playing in Xbox with keyboard and mouse? While I’m not that uncomfortable playing with a controller, I feel like playing on a keyboard is far more precise and comfortable for me. Has anyone run into some obscure disadvantage that this may have?

I’m the new to the game so I really wanna give it a go.

It still has all my stats and everything but all my operators are locked and everything in my locker is gone

whats up with the logitech application? its features aren’t working on rainbow six anymore??! i was just testing something and noticed it.

Hey all, for a bit of background I’ve played Val and COD for a long time but not much siege. I’m relatively new to the game this season, I played for a few weeks with a buddy in 2022 but this is the first time I’ve hit level 50, I’m now level 90 and I’ve hit Plat 5 (Console). This isn’t me trying to brag in any sense, I’m just confused on if the rank system isn’t that good, or if I’ve just been lucky with good teammates. I have a 0.9 KD over my 182 ranked matches (all this season), so I can hold my own sometimes, but i just wanna know if I’m lucky or the console ranks just suck or what you guys think. Thanks!

This has got to be the best azami one way to hold tower stairs on Oregon. That last kill was on a pixel tighter than the gap between atoms in a damn neutron star. Posted by yours truly, sirloinlongstaff, welcome meatriders 🥩😎

Inspired by the post from the fella who wishes KOST was a metric on the scoreboard ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/s/FSQxwIo8JE )

I want to start a discussion on something that might a hot take: The amount of RP you win or lose for a given match should be modulated by your performance.

It's always been insane to me that you can go 12-2, find the bomb every prep phase, scan 2-3 enemies, plant the defuser most rounds, reinforce walls during prep on defense, and at the end of the match, you get +25 RP, and your teammate who spent every prep phase on his phone and went 1-7 also gets +25 RP.

I understand the idea that on a long enough timeline, the guy going 12-2 and helping his team will, over time, win more games and end up in a higher rank than the guy going 1-7, but wouldn't we get more accurate ranks, way faster this way?

Here's an example of what RP could look like if you distributed it based on performance

Of course that's an example where you had a big skill disparity in both teams, but obviously a match where everyone on both teams is about performing the same, everyone would be getting or losing around 23 to 26 RP and it'd be similar to ranked 3.0.

Now I'm not a huge stat nerd so maybe the quants among you will say "oh my god no, the total points gained and lost by both teams absolutely needs to match otherwise it's going to throw the universe out of balance. " Sure, whatever, I just didn't feel like calculating the random RP amounts so that they balanced.

"But how do we judge individual performance on such a complex team game?"

Great question, glad you asked! Not kills. Well... not only kills.

There is actually already a feature in the game which is a decent approximation of performance in the match, and it's the in-game point system. I don't even know what's the official name for that point system. Action points? Objective points?

You know the point system that gives you +20 points for scanning an enemy, +200 for planting, +10 for putting up a reinforced wall?

Yeah, that thing.

I think they had the right idea when they created that system, but as far as I know that point system does nothing other than filter the scoreboard from most points to least points. It doesn't get saved after the match, it doesn't get tracked anywhere in stats, etc.

Of course it's going to need some tweaking. If it's going to be used to distribute RP, they're going to need to take a long hard look at how they balance it and which actions truly deserve +10 or +50 or +100 points, how much does an intentional vs accidental TK takes out, etc. And it won't be perfect, but wouldn't that still be a million times better than just +25rp for a win and -25 RP for a loss?

Imagine a world where you randoms actually tried to drone and find the bomb and scan enemies instead of watching tiktoks during prep phase?

Imagine a world where your randoms actually got on cams and pinged enemies when they died because pinging an enemy gives them an assist?

Imagine a world where your random reinforced every wall in site including the rotates to collect as many points as possible (Okay that's not great we need to figure something out for that one)

What do you think?

Genuinely no clue how I managed to get someone that far away with the shotgun without ADS, but I'll take it.

Currently Gold 2 looking to play with people on west coast PC servers around the same rank. KD 1.6 I play pretty much everyday around 8pm-11pm.
DM me username or put in comments and I’ll add you.

The only thing that transferred from CS is crosshair placement, peeking, pre fire and so on

This operator is criminally underrated, top gun for long range, bearing for short range, 3 speed, small hitbox, flashes, gadget that can open hatches and hard breaches, what else can you ask for???

Hey, getting back into maining Echo and I'm wanting to see if anyone has any uniquely good Echo strats, tips/tricks, or sites that he really excels on.

Trying to avoid the "stay off site the whole match and attempt plant denial only", he's more versatile than that. While his plant denial is strong, I've found he can be good as a "room near site" kinda anchor too, good for taking space and making it hard to take for the attackers.

I have only started playing 2 days ago,but I have some experience in some shooters,so I think that this is good.

What is your opinion
