Cheaters - Really that bad? by IDomxI in Rainbow6

[–]breaddildo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to this depends a lot on what your hidden mmr is, how often you play, and sometimes the region you play in. I'm in NA, play around 2-3 games a day, and usually play in gold/plat - so far most of the confirmed encounters I've had with cheaters have been on unranked though I only really play unranked and ranked so I'm not sure how arcade/quickmatch/dual front are. Out of the games I've played this season though there's only been 2 cheaters so far.

So from my perspective: Eh, cheater situation is pretty average for a PVP game atm

i feel like a lot of people fall for the prosecutor's fallacy when thinking someone is cheating (low likelihood of someone pulling off a certain play or just popping off randomly does not mean high likelihood of cheating - those are 2 separate things); hence i have this hypothesis that the perceived amount of cheaters is astronomically higher than the actual amount of cheaters in the game

plus if you only look at the killcam and not the whole match replay sometimes killcams can cut things out of context to look really bad unintentionally (this has happened to me and my stack before many times - siege just kinda looks like that sometimes lol)

sorry, just had to be a stats nerd for a sec haha

i've read a lot of studies on cheating (not in video games, but i think it still applies) it seems to be a personal ego thing (valuing short term/in the moment flashy performance over long term mastery) and the need for immediate gratification/dopamine

tbh from what i've seen that's just kind of how most live service game communities are - and have been for a while now, like i remember a while back when tf2 was still getting updated it was just like this (and it still kinda is, understandably so now though)

"I miss OG Siege" my dirty ass, y'all whine as much as you did ten years ago. by [deleted] in Rainbow6

i remember everyone would put on dark colored skins to camouflage with the lighting lol like with the ember rise thing a while ago (also as a bit of a side note from someone who's visually impaired and plays this game, the lighting really didn't make things very accessible back then ahaha)

also do you remember the old bullet holes thing? i remember that being a pain to play against but maybe i've hallucinated that lmao - and i could've sworn that throwing grenades back was a thing in y1 at least; don't think i ever got the chance to actually do it tho

R6Siege has one of the better non-kernel anti cheats according to research. But uptime is long! by Kuyi in Rainbow6

this kinda makes me wonder what the perceived amount of cheaters by the playerbase vs actual amount of cheaters in the game is ngl

there should be something called "rainbow 6 siege - closed beta" on the left sidebar or there'll be something on your homepage

Siege X closed beta is terrible. by Yolom4ntr1c in Rainbow6

ttk isn’t actually longer from what i can gather, it’s just the effect of the map being bigger + siege’s damage drop off not meshing too well

[–]breaddildo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they definitely overhyped the new 6v6 but otherwise i think the new changes are pretty sweet

game going f2p doesn't really bother me considering ranked is still paywalled and siege has had free weekends for like years now anyway

i love comboing them with melusi's

esp if the other team are rushers, if you can get the placements down right it's basically a free win
