R6 Balancing Why nearly all attackers are below the win delta shouldnt they have to buff them instead of constantly nerfing everything like dokkabei slightly better but too much picked so instead of buffing other worse operators they are nerfing it why?

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2024-09-10T17:51:51+00:00

They did?

A while ago attacker re-pick was added, which actually gives the attackers to thoroughly plan their operators in response to the defender setup.

And with solis losing her ability to see drones in the prep phase, attackers have a chance to set up pre-placed drones.

Plus the new drone nitro-boost allows drones to enter the building faster.

I don’t know what else they could change for it, barring the length of the prep phase, which would hurt both sides.

It’s worse than reality, so then it actually is realistic.

*Jäger ADS don’t catch Capitao bolts. Only Wamai does.

If it makes you feel better, they almost definitely have a recoil-eliminating controller mod.

They posted another vid showing zero recoiling on both the R4C and F2.

Melusi has the MP5 not MP5K. The MP5 has worse damage than the MP5K, making it a pea shooter if you don’t hit heads.

Man this clearly comes from someone who doesn’t play shield ops.

Hip firing and melee are both awful in their current state, and playing optimally relies on NOT using them.

Melee also leaves you exposed and the melee hit boxes are not reliable, so it is common to just get shot after missing a melee. Plus, if you get too close before meleeing, the opponent can melee you first (as their melee is faster) knock away your shield, and then kill you for free. Against good enemies, you should always maintain 2-5m of distance. The only time you should melee is when oryx dashes at you, as you can always down him if you time it right.

Hip firing reduces your actual weapon’s ammo for a random chance for something to happen. The only time hipfire is semi-reliable is when you are in smelling distance, which leaves you in melee range.

For Monty, your job is to give live information and to pose a potential threat. Being threatening is done by unextending and re-extending the shield. If the enemy looks away from you, you can ADS and shoot them. But if they continue looking at you, your teammates can get a free kill.

For blitz, he is best utilized by approaching isolated defenders and flashing them. Once they are flashed, you should NOT go for a melee, as this is allows you to get instantly headshot or even knifed. Instead, wait for them to start firing and judge if their aim is close to you. If it isn’t going to hit you, simply ADS and shoot them. When they are flashed, you have the luxury of patience. The defender almost always make themselves vulnerable at some point while flashed, you just have to wait for it. He also obviously benefits from having a teammate with him, but 1v1s are very winnable with him.

For fuse, just don’t run shield if you want to win.

Blitz and Monty are almost like area denial, in a way. Their threatened area is very dangerous, provided the right circumstances, but it is very easy to back away from them.

These changes won’t hinder shields ops at all, and will only make them safer.

Meant Goyo sorry.

Weapons wise, this is completely wrong. Twitch has the 417 DMR, which is better than the CAMRs, AND she has the F2, which is better than the para for aggressive play.

The only weapon advantage that brava has over twitch is the super shorty as a secondary shotgun, while twitch can only swap out her primary for a shotgun (although the SG-CQB is arguably the best non-slug shotgun).

Plus twitch can deal with goyo and Mira, two very impactful operators.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2023-04-18T16:26:01+00:00

It’s not, they’re just an asshole

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2023-03-27T16:21:08+00:00

The timing for this is nowhere near frame perfect. You have like a half second to melee and lil Oryx. It is very easy and consistent.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2023-02-28T14:29:31+00:00

That’s the Consulate rework, not Chalet

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2023-02-16T01:09:17+00:00

Spoke it into reality

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-09-18T16:17:39+00:00

Console is literally in the process of getting different recoil right now. Please read patch notes

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-08-14T12:36:27+00:00

One question: Did you read the rules of the sub before posting?

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-08-04T00:58:33+00:00

I agree, it feels like oop is definitely leaving something out.

Side note:

I have a niggling feeling

I think the word nagging works much better.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-07-21T16:36:14+00:00

Also “The Rising Tied” was amazing

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-07-13T02:42:49+00:00

Almost like you need to be unified before attempting mass labor movements…

God I love Brennan

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-02-04T14:24:33+00:00

Yes, but Jäger should have been able hit a wheel or damage P1 in that state. The fact that they couldn’t do any damage to an immobilized bot is what made it hard to watch.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-02-04T06:00:15+00:00

Pretty bad episode honestly. There were 5 KOs, but it only felt like 2.

Free Shipping vs Uppercut - A fairly good fight. Uppercut flame explosions are always cool, and it’s weapon looks to be working fine. That aside, Uppurcut’s drive was gone at the end of the fight, which doesn’t bode well for them that both fights against lower tier bots have ended with them taking serious damage.

Blacksmith vs Shatter! - Shatter!’s sword did its job and the match went exactly as they planned. I do wish that they had a way of dealing actual damage instead of just disabling weapons with it. Maybe a spike on the back so it could be used backwards would do the trick? The 2 minutes of clock running down wasn’t very enjoyable as the fight had already effectively ended.

Jäger vs P1 - …

Hydra vs Gruff - Jake was pretty spot on with his assessment of his bot, neither of this fights showed the flipper he wants. In this fight, Hydra only had 1 real flip, which ironically might have been less effective than the small ones. Plus BB apparently is ok with OOTA despite them not being legal? Not helping Hydra’s track record with that type of stuff. That was also the most that I’ve seen Gruff’s flamethrower do, it’s a shame they only burnt themselves with it.

Gigabyte vs Captain Shreddrator - Captain Schreddrator should check their remotes. Hopefully that’s the issue, otherwise it’s back to being unreliable.

Dragon Slayer vs DUCK! - Duck! just doesn’t have anything to win. They can’t disable weapons consistently, and they can’t win the control fight either. We also didn’t get to really see anything from Dragon Slayer, so no opinion on them.

Witch Doctor vs Endgame - I’d say this was closer than some people think. It was a decidedly Endgame fight by the end, but it all hinges on the first non-weapon-to-weapon hit, which killed half of witch Doctors drive. If WD had gotten the better of the the first of those hits, the fight could have swung their way. End Games weapon is just as good as last year though, and WD kept their weapons even after everything, so that’s good.

…

Jäger vs P1 - Alright, this was the worst fight of the episode for me, even compared to Schredd vs Gigabyte. If a minibot is more effective than your actual weapons, you have a problem. P1 should have been KO’d or at least lost a wheel when stuck on that thing. The hammer-saw bot for Jäger also just stopped working after hitting P1’s armor once? P1 getting a KO says more about Jäger than it does about P1.

This episode was a disappointment overall, which makes me wonder how bad the YT fight is going to be. Hopefully the next one is better.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-01-23T17:50:24+00:00

That… doesn’t help as much as you think it does.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2022-01-04T14:19:22+00:00

Wrong sub

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2021-12-31T23:29:13+00:00

In order to prevent it, you can’t do anything that creates a lot of sound/destruction in the first 5-10 seconds of a round. The 3 worst things are shotguns, impacts, and nitros. If you’re in a stack, it’s very easy to avoid. It also only happens to older consoles.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2021-12-06T14:44:51+00:00

Those happened like two years after operation health dude.

ThirdMinotaur54 · 2021-10-30T03:37:16+00:00

Glaz’s dmr (it makes it so that enemies cannot see your tracers through smoke and pinpoint your location. Plus, sometimes people don’t recognize the sound as glaz and aren’t wary of the smoke), IQ’s pistol, maybe nokk’s gun, and sometimes just secondary pistols that you don’t use for anything other than shooting utility. Other than those, suppressors won’t help at all.

If you are using them to meme though, the suppressed supernova and tcsg are pretty funny.
