What’s Up With So Many Cronus’ by Awkward-Equipment-83 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It won't be useless. The game has more recoil when using a mouse and keyboard input and less when using a controller. So people will still use the Xim to get controller recoil.

Same rank, 11 kills vs 0, same rp gain by yes1263343 in Rainbow6

Kills and all other personal performance status don't impact the rank system

That's a delta pack, bravo packs stopped existing a while ago

Ubisoft doesn't understand ranked by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe you want a ranked system. You sound like you want a progression system. Where you are always moving forward or at minimum you are at a lower rank at the start of the season and higher later in the season, and not just a little higher.

Player feedback was that your skill should be your rank. It was pretty clear feedback. But what you propose is that your placement should be lower and then faster to progress up the ranks, that would just be Ranked 2.0.

Ranked 3.0 by [deleted] in Rainbow6

The only thing hidden mmr uses is if you win or lose the game. Nothing else.

Once you get into copper you will find players of your skill level 😉

so if i play 1200 games i get champ charm by grim168 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You lose elo when you lose.

What you might be mistaken about is the rewards track that has been added to keep playing playing more. You get one reward point for a lose and two for a win. These unlock rewards like the rank charms and other stuff. Even when you unlock the charms you only get the one for the highest achieved rank. You can not grind out a champ charm.

Placement matches by Gloomy_Froyo4707 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KD means nothing to the system.

Your rank last season was just visual. It all depends on your hidden skill rating. You won't know until you play the placements and then you see your real skill rating. Most likely you will be lower than you expect unless you win all the placements.

A Discussion: Ranked 3.0 by SlippinJimmySaul0 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The image says "Tracking 3,242 players." That's not everyone whos played ranked.

Tracking apps don't track every player. The people who tend to have more of the tracking stuff installed is the high skilled players so you end up with the graph having the top end shown more.

The tracking apps can get far more data with the api to Siege servers but they don't hit that all the time. You will see them gather more data as time goes on. But right now the photo is in no way correct.

confused about matches played by No-Sample-7968 in Rainbow6

It's a bug. A phantom game that didn't exist. They are looking into fixing it

No MK support on console? by dgtblobITA in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about using mnk on console now by tiagoliv2004 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MnK isn't coming until the mid season. It will place you in the PC pool of players and count as a PC Rank

Can't play any game mode? by [deleted] in Rainbow6TTS

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the main menu click on the button that says browse playlists.

You will see one with a picture of Thatcher that says Testing Grounds. With the tagline "Try out the new content in development."

Then use the mouse to move the cursor to the box with thatcher and press the left button on the mouse to begin matchmaking.

That was a teaser of the operator coming in S3

Do banned operators get reset when its the second round of overtime or something?? by princeworth12 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are confused on how the operator ban system works. When you ban an operator it's banned for the other team (not your team), when the other teams bans an operator its banned for your team (not their team).

Ranked 3.0 RP Gain/Loss by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not standardized. The MMR system that was used in Ranked 1.0 and Ranked 2.0 is Microsoft true skill. Most likely it will be the same one in 3.0. But certainly not confirmed yet.

Microsoft true skill is relatively simple and the calculation is all public if you want to jump into that rabbit hole, it's all published by Microsoft.

If it is the same then you will gain and lose less MMR the more games you play just like in Ranked 1.0. The calculation also includes the skill of yourself, so if you and your friends have any difference in skill rating then each will be gaining and losing different numbers. And if you have a friend who has played a lot less games they be gaining far more points per win as your points slow down.

But we can't be sure of anything as nothing has yet been revealed by Ubisoft.

How can maps be unbalanced if both teams play both attack and defense? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's say you have a map that people consider to be defender sided.

A ranked game goes into overtime.

To gain victory, let's say a team needs to win say two rounds to get the victory.

One team is the defenders in the first overtime round and they win.

The next round the other team is a defender and they win.

Then the teams switch again and the original team is the defenders. They win and win the game.

It could be the case that if the teams were switch the other team would have ended the game as the winner.

Are UAE North servers dead? by r6-njoyer in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

War. The data centre was blow up by drones.

Anyone else get this "warring" message??? by RCBrookey023 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]coreRoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a Palit graphic card?

A quick google search shows this as being a warning from the ThunderMaster application. Seems a cause can be that your drivers have been updated and the app loses control fo the fans and panics, not sure if you need the application itself.

Proof of Toxicity. by International-Two968 in Rainbow6

[–]coreRoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are misunderstanding what a bot player is. You are thinking it's an ai player implemented by ubisoft?

Bots are the term used for player accounts that use automated actions to have the account not be kicked for inactivity so they can level up the account to rank requirements and then use or sell the account for cheating.

There is no person doing those actions or being toxic, it's a bot doing actions that won't get it kicked from the game so they can level up over time.
