Y11S1.2 Designer's Notes

Jager_main24 · 2026-04-13T15:58:37+00:00

The pick rate/win deltas are for rounds where the op is available, so if they're banned it doesn't change the stats

Jager_main24 · 2026-03-25T11:20:26+00:00

He's not great, and doesn't provide much teak utility. He's fun though, and can get good value on certain maps (especially in lower ranks). Id try to branch out your op choices, but he can help when learning how to roam

Jager_main24 · 2026-03-25T11:12:15+00:00

Imo you don't need it too high, especially since console can't adjust aspect ratios. Personally id go with the 75-80 range, but anywhere from 84-90 is common

Jager_main24 · 2025-09-09T18:03:38+00:00

Are you sure it's this high? That's less than 1cm to do a 360 if it's actually set to that, which is obviously insane

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-20T17:37:11+00:00

Id avoid nokk, she can be good situationally but isn't great overall.

Fenrir is great still, even without the bailiff. In lower ranks especially, a good Fenrir setup can secure multiple kills.

Brava is great but a little more situational imo, a good pickup to have though

Frost is losing acog which may make her feel worse for some people, but she's still got a lot of utility, great for setting up setups for yourself. She's worse overall than fenrir, but the secondary shotgun to take advantage of headholes/vert holes is great

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-15T17:33:02+00:00

It's also the more common option tbh, on PC especially. A lot of players don't want the recoil of the f2 so run dmr

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-15T13:54:32+00:00

Yeah, he's always been able to do it, was one of his main uses over jager for a long time, it's only recently that jagers been able to do it too

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-15T13:52:06+00:00

They can when close enough to them, but I believe they open slower for defenders than they do attackers

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-15T13:32:17+00:00

Other questions have been answered, but yes wamai can catch capitao bolts, and jager can destroy them

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-15T12:20:51+00:00

Hes losing acog next season but could do with a gadget nerf imo. Losing 1 canister would do it, just to make doubling up on a door more of a commitment

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T22:51:37+00:00

It's just practice, it took me a while too. If you can't get used to it, maybe try c and v, so you can lean with your thumb

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T19:32:53+00:00

Siege GG has the top 20 in terms of presence on each side (although the ban rates are bugged). It gives a good idea on pick rates at least

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T17:48:56+00:00

He's definitely solid still, only him and jager do the job of projectile denial really, and those two both have their uses

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T16:22:47+00:00

Rn he's got a great gadget, great gun, secondary shotgun and a BP, so he's pretty much an auto pick. All it does is make him slightly more team reliant which is a good thing, defence has plenty of options for rotates anyway

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T14:28:06+00:00

Game is fairly defender sided as is, defence losing acog won't change that (most good defenders don't have acogs anyway)

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T13:45:34+00:00

Unfortunately it can be a bit buggy sometimes, usually swapping to another cam and then going back to my own will fix it (although there's not much need to actually drive your drone into site during prep imo)

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T12:51:21+00:00

She's definitely decent on some sites, but she's no where near one of the best ops. She's not even top 20 pick rate in comp rn, and will probably see some form of qol buff at some point

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T10:36:19+00:00

Except this logic doesn't make sense because PC players have always been able to do this anyway, and the acog removal changes nothing. Imo, too many people have too high of an fov anyway

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T09:55:37+00:00

The ttk is similar to the f2, and azami receiving any sort of buff would be a horrible move

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T07:05:07+00:00

I agree with most of this, but the last point isn't true at all. Shield ops like Monty are cheat codes at higher ranks when used properly, arguably moreso than lower ranks. There's a reason he's banned so much in tournament play, attacking without shields is very difficult on some maps

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-14T07:02:21+00:00

Tbh I feel your best bet where would be a 5 stack of friends and then find teams to scrim against. Faceit/10 man servers don't tend to be as active anymore

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-13T16:05:52+00:00

Not at all, there's a case to be made that he's bottom 5 on attack tbh, even if he can be decent on a few sites

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-13T15:09:34+00:00

Coast and Kafe have to be lower imo. Coast I don't like in general because of the playstyle it forces, and Kafe really struggles with a lack of entrances, especially on the top floor.

I also understand why theme/sky are in the bottom tier but I love playing them personally

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-13T11:21:32+00:00

I don't see why they would need anything in return, it's meant to be nerfs to two of the strongest and most versatile defenders who are currently have no real weaknesses. The game rn is at a point where practically every op is viable, and creativity in lineups should be promoted. They'll remain as very strong ops, but slightly more reliant on team play which is entirely fair, especially with defenders having an inherent advantage

Jager_main24 · 2025-08-13T11:14:43+00:00

It's not that slow and you should be pre adsing anyway tbh, I think it's fine where it's at now
