[2019] Anyone disappointed with Year 4?

Originally posted by Snovicus: Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed at length without my knowledge, but - now that we're well into the final season - has anyone else found this last year of Siege to be particularly lazy?

We got 1 new map, and 3 reworks, and I personally found the Kanal rework to be awful. 8 new operators, about half of which are actually useful. Amaru and Nøkk are both fairly bad, and Warden is still an absolute joke. Between these operators, 28 different weapons. 6 new, 21 reused, and 1 slightly modified (the M249 SAW).

Not that all importance must be put on new content, but the Year 4 Season Pass seems like a pretty poor value now in retrospect.

Thanks for your input! What specifically did you dislike about the Kanal rework?
How would you change Amaru, Nokk and Warden to be more viable?
The main issue with weapons has to do with licensing. There are quite a large variety of weapons already in the game, but I do understand why you would want even more. This has been something that has been brought up to the team.

Originally posted by kraut: The reworked theme park is the most garbage map so far, they take out the train room and add 150 more rooms and they are all densely packed, its just unplayable and i'd rather have tower in ranked rotation than this garbage.

How would you suggest the rework for Theme Park should have been done?

If she was able to destroy a soft hatch as she does with windows, that would be better, and make it so she only breaks when she hits it, not when she starts to rapel, that's a long time to give defenders to react, like, i lost count of how many times i killed defenseless Amarus.
Also, her timing is awful, in siege, milliseconds can cost your life, and she takes too long to grab her gun, at least give her the option to have the secondary equipped, she will still be vunerable as anyone spraying at the window will kill her, and using the pistol and smg while fast rapelling is not going to be simple.

This has been a common suggestion with Amaru. People feel that the barricade should be breaking on impact, and not when the grapple hook attaches. I've made note of this for the team!

Her gadget is incredibly loud, it could be quieter, it's REALLY TOO LOUD, team rainbow has nook gadget, vigil and other silent and "unreal" gadget, why not make it way more quieter? you should try that in the next TTS.

I do agree it is fairly loud, but I feel like its to offer a counter and make people aware of where she is entering from. Although I could see maybe turning it down just a bit, but I'm not sure about making it nearly silent.

The operator should be a 3 speed operator, increasing him from 3 to 2, made him way more useful, turning him as a roamer with 3 speed would make more sense, since all his weight is based in that very thin suit. His guns are great, but i would also tweak a bit his gadget, make so he activate and deactivate as Vigil and caveira, not depleting his bar, and requiring just 20% to be active. That will increase his potential to deny flashbangs and candelas. Decrease the opacity of the smoke even without charges by 30% and decrease the movement penalty as you did with Glaz.

All very solid in my opinion! What does everyone else think?

Her gadget still need some tweaks for duration. She is defenseless in mid-long range, she needs a new weapon with better control and DPS. Like Alibi's Storm, or Vigil's SMG, maybe lesion as well.. if it's going to be reused, i would love to see defense guns in attack side. She's also very thin, she could be a 3 speed operator, as she doesn't have acess to an ACOG. Some guns i would like in her: Nomad's ARX, ASH's G36C, Mute MP5K, Capitao PARA308, Jackal's PDW? My favorite one is Vigil's K1A. But all of that relies on her becoming a 3 speed op. We only have Capitao, Maverick, Ash, Hibana and IQ, adding one more would not shift the meta or make her op

Also very solid suggestions. A lot of people have been suggesting new weapons they would like to see for Nokk, but I haven't read too much on wanting changes to her gadget.

Thank you so much for sharing!
