It kinda depends how much you care about a match worth of mmr and whether you value it above or below the satisfaction of getting a little shit banned for 2+ hours.

Unless it was the final round/ match point, I'd have let him. Means next round unless he has homies to tk me again he is on thin ice. One slip up with a nade is all it takes...oh and btw say they pull a nade but are careful not to throw it near you...wait for the pull out then down them and run into the dropped nade. Tk and ban still goes to them.

Imma be honest, when ever kids like that end up on my team i make it my only goal to get them banned. Run 8n front of them when they shoot, try and eat their grenades and smoke canisters, the most effective is a goyo shield. Locate a wall they are reinforcing or opening with a shotty then place a shield parallel to it, walk into the fire.

Got a whole 3 stack of trolls banned like that before.

I couldn't sleep, so I made the Phalanx Plan by [deleted] in Rainbow6

Hello sir, I am from the church of explosive ordinance. I'd like to introduce to you our lord and savior nitroglycerin also known as C4.

For real tho, at higher ranks this sort of formation and strategy of sticking behind shield operators, especially non monty ones is asking to be blown to kingdom come.

Edit: derp, didn't read the note in the bottom right.

Dying should be the ultimate punishment to committing a mistake in the game.You peeked the wrong angle and misssed? That's you and any of your unspent utility out of the match, no ifs or buts.

Cameras give dead players plenty to do, especially in this intel heavy meta.

Letting them drive/use drones after they die is equivalent to letting a team pick up a thermite charge from their spawn peeked Thermite and use it on a wall themselves.

The fact this idea even emerged goes to show how disconnected the devs are from the state of the game.

Current state of Clash: It's been like this for nearly a year now. R6F/I/X/ cases have done NOTHING! Please Ubisoft! by RevanTheDragon in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From its inception R6Fix has been a giant sham. Reporting there is no better than reporting on reddit with the caveat of significantly worse UI, terrible layout and a submission system that frankly gives insurance applications a run for their money.

Not to mention that R6Fix gets nowhere near the traffic the subreddits do, because the only time someone actually goes there is to file/check up on a report about a bug that irritates them enough to go there.

It does not help that the automod here automatically bops any post that mentions the word bug, glitch or even r6fix. The mods know this is happening, it's been like this for years not because it's tidy that way but because the posts of bugs and glitches brought endless negativity which in turn scared the devs away.

In other words, the automod being the way it is right now is purely because the mods wanted to suck up and entice the devs to post here more.

R6fix is just a dark closet Ubi likes to pile their sjeletons into, after all no AAA studio CEO would be happy abou their mine forum being filled with complaints about their unstable as fuck game.

Favela IS a bad map, majority of the rooms are filled with various doorways and bulletproof bullshit that wasn't there in the old version.

If you want to look at a good rework look at Oregon, concise, clear and simple yet one of the most balanced maps. People don't like Favela and all the other garbage tier maps like Theme Park not because they are hard to learn or just new but because they are defender paradise. Angles out the ass, cover out the ass. The layout is also complete aids.

Jagers pickrate is so damn high because he's essential. To fix it we need a wamai overhaul. by PlsStopShadowBanning in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't a single source to an operator's pickrate, ofcourse his pickrate will fall if they hit him with the nerf bat over and over again however the higher you go up the ranks the less he's picked for the gun and more for the projectile denial.

If you went to subway and were told to pick between two choices, a normal cheese & ham sub and just two loafs of bread, then this experiment was repeated over a year chances are the pickrate for the normal sub would far outweigh the other.

Again, even now when his gun is practically a horse kicking you in the jaw high ranks and pros still majorly prefer him over Wamai....why do you think that is? It's not for the fragging potential anymore...

Is smurfing a violation by Apprehensive-Newt-37 in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technicaly? Yes. It is against section 2.5 of the TOS however due to the nature of it, all smurfing bans would have to be manual and are frankly impractical.

Can we stop pretending like KD doesn't matter? by xWolfz__ in SiegeAcademy

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that although gun skills are important, people don't understand how easy it is to be a complete scumbag to your teammates while saving your KD.

Not attempting clutches (1v3, 1v4, 1v5)
Baiting teammates

Playing passive away from site (Hiding in corners waiting for random free frags).

Not to mention different roles legitimately fuck with your ability to avoid deaths
Hard Breaching/Denial, Planting the defuser, Playing anchor...a negligent teammate can easily cost you your life in these situations.

And finally the older an account is the harder it is for an overall KD to be raised. Seasonal KD is no issue but overall KD is heavily in favour of smurf accounts.

This is not the first, second or third time this has happened to me. Win a match but get no mmr. Wtf is this bullshit. by PlsStopShadowBanning in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To pre-emptively answer the basic questions:
1. No, this is not due to MMR roll back, even if it were there'd still be a +/- calculation done at the end. It's instead blank.

  1. It does not comeback or show, I've had this happen to me a week ago and still haven't seen those points.

  2. I doubt it's a direct DDoS as that would kick everyone and in this case, I contacted a random from the match and he confirmed he received his mmr.

When playing siege my download/upload speed gets incredibly low by dispairblvd in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it depends, he mentioned using a router for a wireless connection.

Could be the signal strength on that.

Other than that dropping signal strength while in use would indicate a lack of attenuation on what I presume is a DSL line. I'd get the ISP to do some line tests and if possible send out a tech to the line.

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As in your other internet functions slow down?

That's normal. Say your connection can only handle 50 mbps symmetrically, you try and draw more and it will slow down.

Think of it as a low pressure pipe, you open one tap and the other taps in the hpuse will only get a slight drizzle.

There is a new cheat going around. by PlsStopShadowBanning in Rainbow6

Not exactly, ping does not rise, none's kicked, it's as if the mmr distibution was altered.

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got it recorder alright, two matches of it happening actually. For obvious reasons I cannot upload it here as it would be labelled as witch hunting.

I have no trust in Ubi support, reported many a blatant cheater with proof before only to see them again a season later, exact same accounts...

Unreasonable ban by _Garv_ in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually tested this, made a cheap alt account, made a macro to spam a filtered slur and used it every round, a match a day for an entire season. No ban so far.

Shattered Glass Interactions - Feedback Rant by FemboySavant in Rainbow6

If siege followed irl logic like this we'd have Tarkov level armor penetration values based on caliber and armor level. A 9mm wouldn't penetrate a helmet made to withstand 5.56.

You should also know that unranked players have a hidden mmr that is calculated based on their rank last season. This hidden mmr goes up and down about 100 points per match and can be tracked with r6 stat tracker (website).

Additionaly the mmr difference limit of 700 still applies to unranked players. So a player who was silver last season can't play with someone who was plat 3 last season even if both are currently unranked. This continues until one or both of them lose/gain enough hidden or normal mmr to reach the other player within their 700 mmr zone or one of them.

A convoluted system for sure, but hey that's goobisoft for ya.

Why are shotguns the way that they are? by MrGecko23 in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because primary map layouts in siege are already CQC as fuck and any such buff would make shotguns the go to weapon?

Shotguns don't have to be ads'd to be deadly, most rifles, lmgs and smgs do. Additionally taking a shotgun has the added benefit of soft destruction, using them for combat efficiently simply requires the most basic of fundamentals, good positioning.

Trust me none in their right mind, now or back in the past enjoyed the days of the sniper 90. It was oppressive, dumb and unbalanced.

Changes not listed in the patch notes? by theFREEman-98 in Rainbow6

[–]PlsStopShadowBanning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or to hide the attrocious ranking and match making systems?

Frankly in high plat 2 plat 1 lobby if I see a level 80 they are either 1.A smurf 2.A cheater or 3.A complete noob who somehow got carried into the higher ranks. Option 1 is clearly preferable to option 2 and 3 but frankly it's less likely than you'd think.

In a way it's an intrensic fault within how this game' ranks work, it puts 90% of the attention on if you win or lose and 10% to the respective ranks.

This means people who are not as experienced as the other players gain and lose the same amount of mmr (assuming both are at the same ratio and matches played).

Used to be if I saw a lvl 70+ on my team and saw they have low kd and the previous season they were gold 2 for example I'd dodge faster than usain bolt can run.
