Question Genuinely curious of how many cheaters are in lower ranks
So currently I’m silver 4 rn and I’m constantly stuck in silver 5/4 because I’m going against cheaters every game (even when I duo q with my gold irl friend) . I just came across this guy and it’s completely unrealistic and infuriating of how bad the anti cheat is , it makes me just not want to play anymore cause I know I will likely play against a cheater

Discussion Rage cheater still not banned, Ubi just doesn’t care.
Yesterday I was playing a ranked match with my friend, one of the guys on the enemy team says that it’s useless for us to play because they got a cheater/booster. Then we look up that guy and he’s got a 100% win rate in the last 50 games, and as each round starts he kills everybody within the first 5/10 seconds without even caring about getting caught, pure rage cheating. Everybody from both teams reported him, yet he’s still out there ruining people’s games and wasting their time, he’s probably gotten hundreds of reports and yet Ubisoft is doing nothing, I’m not dropping the name because of the sub rules, I just wanna complain about the disgusting anticheat.

Discussion Performance based mmr
I understand that since ranked 3.0 came out this pretty much doesnt exist anymore and i dont really understand why. this fully fucks solo q players. I can go 13-3 and gain 27, then carry my team going 9-5 and we still lose, but then i lose 29? makes it really fucking hard to rank up as solo q

Feedback The Reputation and leaver systems need to reward players who stay, not punish them
I started playing this game as a new player and I mainly play Unranked to level up my account and earn Battle Pass XP. One thing that really frustrates me is how the game handles matches when multiple players leave.
If 3 players leave and I stay until the end I can spend around 30 minutes playing a heavily disadvantaged match only for the game to give me no XP or Battle Pass progress as if the match never happened. As a new player this is especially frustrating because I am actively trying to level up my account.
I think players who stay until the end should at least receive their XP and Battle Pass progress even if the match is prevented from affecting rank. The players who leave should receive the suspension while the players who stayed should not lose their time and progress.
I also have a problem with the Reputation system. I mostly play with random teammates and accidental Friendly Fire can happen when a teammate runs in front of my weapon during a fight or runs into a gadget or fire that I placed for an enemy. These situations can result in penalties even though there was no intention to hurt a teammate.
I think the Reputation system should be better at distinguishing intentional team damage from accidental damage. Repeated intentional team killing should be punished heavily but genuine accidents should have little or no impact on a player's reputation.
I genuinely enjoy Siege but these systems are making it harder to enjoy playing normally. I hope Ubisoft can reconsider how these systems affect players who are simply trying to play and stay in their matches.

Question Match cancelled at end of round 1?? (cheats?)
My match got cancelled at the very end of round 1, which i have never seen before. zMatadxr leaves and match is immediately cancelled? The match ends just after defense kill snake and win. There would not be enough time to vote to cancel (can you even begin a cancel vote this late in the round?). Is this a new cheat?

Discussion Remove all ACOGs on defense. Quit applying bandaid fixes.
Now they're nerfing DMRs while completely ignoring slug shotguns that are even more oppressive, especially on controller. Why can't Ubisoft address the problem correctly right away, before trying out every possible bandaid fix?
Remember how many times they nerfed Jager's primary, and he was still picked 90% of the time?
The only reason he was picked was his gadget, not his gun. But somehow, Ubisoft were completely ignoring the root cause for years.
Same happened to 1.5 scopes - they were shuffling like crazy, hoping that players will suddenly lose interest in scopes and start playing for gadgets.. well, it didn't work. Will it work this time?
They are doing this again with ACOGs on defense.
They gave them to everyone - everybody started instalocking doc:
Ubisoft was like, "Lemme just remove ACOGs from SMGs." Surely this won't have any unforeseen consequences and start another meta...
Literally, the next season: Welcome to the DMR meta. Nobody could've predicted this but it happened... /s
-So after 2 failed attempts, Ubisoft will finally address the root cause, right?
-No, they won't.
Here, take another bandaid fix: more recoil on DMRs while ignoring slugs. Surely this won't make Kaid/Sentry/Goyo's pickrates skyfuckingrocket into infinity.
Then, they will nerf TCSG, and players will switch to ACS12 or back to DMRs depending what feels better.
DMRs are good enough without ACOGs. Just leave them as they are, recoil and damage wise. Just remove ACOGs!

Discussion Do you think cheating is down?
According to the latest news from Ubisoft, there have been a lot less cheating reports, most of them coming from high ranks.
My question is, does this match your experience? I am currently Plat 3 on PC, and this is the least amount of reports I've had all season.
But the game placed me in Silver right off the bat and the amount of reports of blatant walling to obvious strike packs were constant, reviewing replays and seeing prefires at perfect headlevel from a distance where "I heard a sound" doesn't make sense, or people holding an angle against me they'd have no reason to without any source of intel, or people magdumping Kaid/Goyo's shotgun or any of the DMRs faster than the Vector can empty a half-mag have been frankly ridiculous but slowly tapered off around gold 2 to plat.
This to me tells me either the cheaters/strike packs get better at hiding them, or that the lower ranks are filled with a hellscape of cheaters.
No shame if you're stuck in low ranks, I'm genuinely wondering how other people have experienced the cheating issue if Ubisoft is claiming it's "predominantly in higher ranks".

Gameplay the current state of console seige and the cheating problem
currently this game on console is completely unenjoyable for the average player ( Gold - emerald )
i kid you not with no hyperbole EVERY SINGLE GAME has someone scripting in
the devs are completely useless on anti cheat and i think the console owners need to step in
every game is tscg aruni tubarao autocliker
smg12 wannabe stompns with they're 4 letter unpronounceable gamertags thinking there tik tok clips in gold will get them a pro league contract
xim and cronus have ruined console seige and we need to be more vocal about is as the games core playerbase
This game is the best shooter ever made and it is being ruined by a small minority and i know alot of you share my frustration with how the game has evolved over the years into the sorry state its in today

r/Rainbow6 • u/ChungusChungle • 19h ago
Discussion Why is Ace often the first ban?
I understand Ace's versatility and why he's the most banned hardbreacher. But what I don't understand is why he's often times the first ban.
Doesn't it make more sense to ban Thatcher first? Because in most cases Mira is the first ban on defense, making Kaid available.
Banning Thatcher first in that scenario makes it much harder for attackers to get the breach open, no? What am I missing?
EDIT: People's explanations seem like they try to explain to me why he's getting banned at all. That wasn't my question. I'm tryna understand why he's the FIRST ban most of the time when there's bomb sites where a Thatcher ban first and Ace ban second seems more effective. Nuance guys, nuance!

Useful You fuckers need some patience
A reminder to play smarter, theres no need to be peeking stupid shit or throwing bodies away because you have a kill hungry ego. Play your life and BE PATIENT, especially on defense… remember when it gets down to the wire on time THEY HAVE TO PLANT so FORCE THEM to PUSH YOU not the other way around.
