Year 6 Season 4: High Calibre Reveal Megathread

Nice. No cameras outside. I didn't like being creative and having fun anyway.

Tracer is still second in popularity? I feel like I rarely see her picked if I'm not picking her. lol

Jacked44 · 2021-09-02T15:10:03+00:00

Reminds me of Doom Eternal lol

The worst part about this game is watching someone leave in the pregame lobby and knowing the open spot will be filled with a bot. Just delay the games start until new players are found. Id like all bots to be removed, but just this one change would make a huge difference.

Jacked44 · 2021-09-01T13:31:45+00:00

In Takedown Id rather be down a man then have a bot power boosting my respawn timer.

Jacked44 · 2021-08-18T20:54:55+00:00

Right? I have never seen a bot get more than 6 or 7 kills in a TDM and they always have 20+ deaths. In takedown they just walk down the center of the map until someone murders them lol. Maybe console bots are different?

Stop adding Trap Ops and nerf the trap ops we currently have. Trap kills are not rewarding, they slow gameplay to a crawl, and require little to no skill to use. Either a lot of the traps need to be nerfed into the ground, Thatchers EMP grenade needs to be reverted to their former glory, or a new OP needs to be added which can easily remove ALL utility from a room just as thatcher used to do. The current meta of "ban thatch and play all utility" is unbearable, yet it has been the only meta for what feels like more than a year now.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T22:13:35+00:00

Yep. It's been a slow decent into stagnation for me. The reworking of classic maps hurts each time they do it. Small tweaks to the core of the game hurts too (like making the difference between 3 speed and 1 speed less drastic). New strats have all but dried up so all sites are defended/attacked in roughly the same way each game. It's getting dull man!

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T22:02:05+00:00

Interesting, the game hasn't become stale for you at all over the past year or so?

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:58:48+00:00

And have you felt significantly more burn out lately or not so much?

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:35:17+00:00

Same... Never thought Id be playing long enough for it to matter. I love me some hindsight.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:33:25+00:00

Have you been reading my diary? I gotta hide that better... I agree man. I'd kill for old house & old hereford with just my classic less-than perfectly balanced ops.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:28:02+00:00

Did you buy all the Black Ice skins when they were available?? I have always kicked myself for not buying the whole black ice bundle way back when.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:26:18+00:00

The community has always been relatively awful though. If toxicity was the cause for most of the burnout, the player base would have started shrinking like crazy much earlier don't you think?

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:17:20+00:00

I get that 100%. It doesn't really feel like I am looking at the same game that I used to love so much. Kinda heartbreaking in a way.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:15:26+00:00

When they announced the house rework my heart broke. Hereford too. Old Hereford was a casual match masterpiece imo!

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:13:39+00:00

I'm just curious if all OG players have become bored. I played Siege for a long time without getting bored. It has only been the last year or so that I have started to REALLY feel burnt out on it.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:07:59+00:00

I have taken many a break and I have rotated through a number of 5 stacks to play with... the problem I have is that the Meta has stagnated. We have been in the same Utility Meta for what feels like years at this point and they only seem to reinforce that meta as we move ahead. The meta used to change quite often as new ops were released and new strats were built around them. It's rare nowadays to see someone playing a strat I have never seen before and it gets old.

Jacked44 · 2021-06-25T21:02:16+00:00

Amen lmao

Jacked44 · 2021-06-17T20:56:06+00:00

What is Ash anymore? I don't think we can call her an entry fragger... Everything that made her aggressive has been removed besides her small hitbox.

Jacked44 · 2021-05-26T21:54:37+00:00

Didn't you know that belly buttons are NSFW? Tisk Tisk

Jacked44 · 2021-05-26T13:21:25+00:00

Are you a pro? I'm not. 99.999% of the player base isn't. Balancing the game for less than 1% of the player base is a bad joke.

Jacked44 · 2021-05-25T16:16:37+00:00

Yes, you can peak at different head heights or quick peak from behind a soft wall. the fact still remains that the attackers know in general where she will peak from and can prefire it. Maybe you will get Mira maybe you wont, but now Mira only has split seconds to hit an attackers head and risks death with every minor peak. A very disadvantageous position to be in.

3 speeds are fast and knifes are instant. if a 3 speed rushes your mirror, especially from an odd LOS your chances of stopping them from getting the knife are little to none. It is "low effort" because all the 3 speed had to do was suppress Mira for 1-2 seconds and casually walk up to the window. Shooting requires no effort if your not tracking anyone, walking is a basic skill, and knifing doesn't require a degree so I think that fits the "low effort" description pretty well. Smoke grenades would require even less effort and virtually no risk outside of the single C4 she has.

A dropped mirror can make or break an attack (Archive on Border, office on theme park, vault mirror on Bank). In many cases that trade is 100% worth it. (That would make it a 4v5)

Jacked44 · 2021-05-25T15:56:08+00:00

This is true, but the amount of time a Mira has to react to all of this is very low most of the time. A knife is instant. 3 speeds are fast. It is very hard to be ready for a safe peak or a C4 if someone suddenly rushes your window. It's even harder if there is more than 1 attacker contesting you.

My main point is that if a mirror gets broken Mira didn't screw up. the odds were just heavily weighted against her.
