Rainbow Six Siege Dev Tracker

I like some of the proposed ideas here!

The community as a whole seems fairly mixed on which maps "Actually need it" which has been a bit of a point of confusion. For instance, most folks agree on Tower and Skyscraper, but Favela and Fortress still remain hotly debated. The house rework is also getting some really mixed reviews, some people loving it, some not so much. In general, when you think of a "good" rework, what kind of elements do you look for?

If you look it up, you see that in real life the users of these shields have their face UP IN the shield
Whereas, in R6, they kinda hold the shield out in front of them, increasing exposure to headshots


I would strongly argue for some balance tweaks, but the above will definitely increase shield CONSISTENCY.

Once shields are consistent, then we can start discussing the actual balance of performance.

I appreciate the response!...

I think even we had a discussion (or maybe it was another Ubi-staff) where we broke down the issue, with still-images highlighting the exact problem

(The post was a good while ago and I couldnt not find it to bring it up)
But basically, the issues can be accurately summed up as follows:

#1- The 1st person view lies to the player about what they are, and are not exposed to
If i can see a threat, within the view of my ballistic glass, it stands to reason that the glass is between my head, and the threat
But in reality, the character can actually have his head, well exposed

FIX YOUR ******G SHIELDS

They are in the game
They have a role
They SHOULD be reliable and viable IN THAT ******G ROLE

Shields should ALWAYS win melee trades, instead of ALWAYS losing them (since their animation is slower)

Bring Back Vote Kick!

VTK's removal has gotten a lot of mixed feedback so far. Some people are really enjoying the fact that toxic 4 stacks can no longer use it to randomly kick folks out of spite, and the removal or the "clutch or kick" mentality, however on the other hand, we have seen some complaints about being unable to remove toxic players, or remove folks that are taking too long to load in. Do you think it's possible to find a middle ground between these two mentalities? ... Read more

Do you know if these unranked players finished last season around the MMR you are currently competing in? The MMR reset per season is a soft reset, and this may be contributing to what you're seeing.
