20 Most Controversial Changes In R6 History....

[@Dravignor]

My least favorite change has been the change to ADS time. We went from being able to react to a sudden engagement to now being forced to practically always be ADS'd

[@hygormotasantos4035]

It was kinda overkill, that's true. But to be honest I prefer that over that shitty 1.5x meta. Yes they could've only removed the different scopes and mantain only the 1.0x and 2.5x like it is now, but hey at least it killed half of the TDM meta

[@harmansingh95100]

The amount of lucky headshot kills that happen while not fully zoomed in feels so bad

[@BMP]

Yeah that change is another thing a lot of people don't like

[@AzureVoltic]

Womp womp you actually have to ve ready for a gunfight instead of getting panick kills

[@dr.narwhalmd4885]

I feel like they have to make up their mind though, because right now it feels like its in a limbo of just slow enough to not really be run and gun but too fast to be meticulous or necessary. They should either put it back to being fast, or slow it down even more to make it an actual decision. ADS'ing should be an advantage though with everything but shotguns, which could maybe be made to more reliably get hipfire kills.

[@moneytalks6225]

I think the gutting of Zofia with less concussion, the effect of them being nerfed, withstand removal, and now being a 1 speed is just tragic.

IMO the worst change to Rainbow has been the constant increase in weapon recoil. White Noise gunplay felt so good, but the weapon accuracy was apparently “too high” and now most guns have such a ridiculous amount of recoil that it feels like the Rainbow Operators are toddlers instead of elite CTU specialists.

[@albinomitch]

Buddy aint no gun has a lot of recoil 😂 Go in shooting range and learn the patterns for smg 12, skorpion, r4c, c8 its not hard. The rest is just drag down or steady.

​@@albinomitch stop lying bro some of them are a chore to try and control skill issue or not it's a lil too much

[@albinomitch]

@@ManOfPillowDoom Bro its literally just pull down, every gun has its own recoil pattern. Not 1:1 recoil but always the same angle. Just because R4C has more kick doesnt mean its hard

[@lauri3548]

​@@albinomitchtbh, no. If we compare the recoils to let's say csgo. Siege is worse. The playability is worse. Saying "just pull down" is just dumb. Yeah, the sight stays down vertically, but the amount of random horizontal recoil kills the game. I'd die to get a consistent spray pattern like in csgo. For example the ak in cs is yeah, it kicks, but you can learn it. All of it. The spread is much tighter compared to siege. And not RANDOM. The problem in siege currently is the RANDOM vertical recoil. Try to hit let's say 30/100 bullets in shooting range with ela at the medium distance. Hell try to do it even at the closest range. You can't. Because ubisoft likes to kill fun abd do not like rewarding people who actually take the time to grind the recoils. I've played since operation health, competitively most of it and the gunfights have never felt worse. There's too much luck involved for a game that's 1 shot headshot with every gun.

[@bakes1324]

Two other changes that were in patch notes but never got implemented because they were so controversial were roof hatches being reinforced by default and smoke losing his immunity to his own gas grenades.

[@BMP]

Yeah smoke losing his invulnerability to smoke grenades was a huge one that I even forgot about

[@Kaleb._]

@@Kaleb._ I think you’re missing the point. The video had an example of a change that appeared in a patch notes but wasn’t actually added so I brought up two other examples.

[@dr.narwhalmd4885]

The shields are mainly busted because of how much melee priority they get. You cannot viably melee a shield user anymore if they know what they're doing. I've died so many times after watching my melee go out first, hit the shield with an audible clang, and it do absolutely nothing because the shield user melee'd in the same solar cycle that I did. Before the rework shields had to respect entering melee because they could get bullied if they weren't careful. Now they just run up to you and start dry humping you as soon as they can.

[@maximelocas7968]

nowadays if i hear a shield i instantly ask for help because its basicaly impossible to kill by yourself

[@DarthRevanJr]

They gutted my boy. Turned him into a 1 speed. Which made him slower(even though you need to be close to use his gadget), and louder on vert. They took away his SMG11, which made using his shotgun or AR acog less viable. THEN they took away the frags lethality. He needs buffs, but I’m willing to compromise.

[@queckmeck]

Well the things you pointed out about sledge, are the reason why I have one of my two elite skins unused for many seasons now. For me it wasn't about the ACOG strategy and smg as secondary. It was about the viability of a shotgun in attack. It made him viable (to some extend) to play instead of buck, because he had nades and could shoot through the ground but in a less destructive way. But well, I now have an smg 11 skin from an elite skin for a character that doesn't even have the gun anymore....

[@eblizzard6821]

Nøkk getting her silent step removed. Her identity was being a Vigil/Cav combination on attack and removing the stronger half of her ability made her go from an A tier operator to an E-F tier operator. Granted the recent reworks have improved her as much as they can without her silent step but as a Nøkk main it’s probably the worst change they’ve done for me outside of the Solis overnerfing.

[@plantplayer303]

2:34 man, Sieges proplayers seem like such crybabies, they have a problem with clearer communication in casual/pubs, when they have teammates they know and are in VC with all the time, and on top of that, one team lost a match/round because they couldn't double tap a Zofia, then went "waah, waah, daddy ubi fix", and of course ubi listened.

[@CaprinaeSL]

Meanwhile Doc gets 3 "lol bad aim" redos (because 99% of Docs are aggressively spawnpeeking rather than being a medic) that give him a load of HP during the animation that usually takes a good few shots to get through. Then the Rook plate self res buff, which he kinda needed because they weren't that useful otherwise, went the other direction by allowing all 5 defenders to eat a shot that would kill them (99% sure you can use plates to tank claymores at any HP) and get up like nothing happened. Altogether, Ubisoft really has a long history of poor decisions regarding R6 (in regards to both gameplay and content). Though I wonder what they'll do regarding the BOSG

[@mircomesca4737]

True, pro players shouldn't be listened nearly as much as they do. They are an elite, not the majority, and they only see their bubble

[@Avstinato]

Pros didn't hate yellow pings because "it let noobs flourish without learning callouts" it's that it made any kind of camera WAY too strong when used correctly. There is no way to know when people are yellow pinging you. The only way to counter a valk cam when they're yellow pinging you is to have an IQ which made her way too strong which led to having to make Change 10 (no cameras outside). It also made drones that were hidden a free kill with 0 counterplay. When there wasn't a yellow ping available on cams, you had to make the choice to either red ping and give away that you have info on the other person, or have to be able to communicate with your team to tell them where the person is. The pros and high skill players wanted there to be a higher skill ceiling involved and for players to have a choice to make, not just to make the game more difficult.

[@MrMegakickass]

Jesus I'm so sick of people not understanding the zofia thing, first off it wasn't like he decided not to shoot a downed zofia the zofia was downed on a different floor, and the zofia change was announced a week after this incident which is way to quick for that incident to be related they cant make a change like that in a week, ubi even said zofia losing withstand had nothing to do with pros

[@taiwandxt6493]

​@mircomesca4737 But they aren't listened to as much as you think they are. And, pros are not this elite that is just so out of touch with the majority of the player base. They aren't within a bubble, because ultimately the metas between the competitive and casual communities are not so dichotomous. Ubisoft does take Pro league into account when making changes, but they also take high tier ranked into consideration as well. And, the reason why they do this is because regardless of where you stand on either side, be it competitive or casual community, Siege is a competitive fps. And with that, what is unbalanced to the competitive community, namely the pros, will eventually make it's way down to becoming unbalanced to the casuals as well. Something being OP at a pro level doesn't mean that it is inherently not OP or will not become so at a casual level. You see, unlike trickle down economics, trickle down balance is real.

[@Ravi-vg2bu]

Spawn peaking is part Of the game. It teachsss new players to be active the minute they spawn. I’ve died heaps of times trying to spawn kill. This is purely a skill based changed that caters to whiny brats to like to repel 90% of the game only To lose to a timer

[@SillyLittleMan55]

I don’t really care too much about general changes and stuff like that. I just hate playing ranked because I always end up on a team with people with the most funny and original names ever such as (insert bypassed racist slur here), skibidigoonerchad, freepdiddybabyoil, and so on throwing the game. So these days, I just rarely play ranked and try and enjoy standard and quick match just to have a bit of fun. However, ONE change that I don’t like, is removal of terrorist hunt and situations and replacing it with VS Ai.

[@Zacharywebster-f3b]

12:05 I think this might be one of the things I disagree with. Because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO COOK GRENADES.

@ he isn’t used on any map and is just a worse version of smoke. Also he has to swap guns to shoot fire so anyone can swing when he doesn’t have a gun. His primary lmg is slow and unreliable when there’s no turret shield so most Tachanka mains don’t even use it anymore. He was nerfed with his rework and he’s never been practical before or after the rework so it’s unnecessary.

My main problem with the shield rework is that with every shield Op now being able to sprint with their shield up, it kind of takes away what made Blitz unique. Blitz used to be the defacto aggressive shield Op, that's why you picked him over Monty or Fuze. But now, both Monty and Fuze can be nearly as aggressive as Blitz, while arguably bringing more utility as well. Yeah, Blitz has his flashes which are still useful, but that's really the only thing he has over Monty and Fuze right now.

I touch the game now and then, but ADS timing is horrible, Lesion was my main, but with the arc implemented to know where your thing will land actually sucks, and the only way to actually have fun is to have friends to play with.

Why Ubi will choose to listen to their golden 5% over the rest of the community will always baffle me, especially considering that pretty much all of the objectively good changes were contested by the 5%.

[@assassinopyro912]

I am literally mad at ubisoft for such stupid nerfs & buffs . One thing you missed was zofia withstand ability.

[@MrMegakickass]

Withstand made no difference to 99% of zofia games and it didn't make sense that she got it, made way more sense to give it to rook

[@l3wismoreman9227]

11:07 I’m surprised that no one pulled at stunt and just jumped onto the stage during their reveal talks about the changes you mentioned and either attacked them or something like that slap that happened at the OSCAR with Will Smith.

[@Shinochaos]

you also forgot with the shield rework, they also got melee priority which basically made getting close impossible because they can just cancel your melee by meleeing right after you did. so you had to run away with wreckless abandon and either die to the shield player or someone nearby.

[@coffeeimpala5189]

I think they should remove being able to yellow ping with drones. To balance this out, make drones a little bit quieter and not make as much noise when they slightly move. Maybe add a new drone that could camouflage after being still for 15 seconds

[@LilPeroxideJr.]

My least favorite thing(s) is everything that happened when they introduced Zero... Fuck the new sensitivity changes so on and so forth. That season and ON has been NOTHING but downhill. The recoil/shooting/mechanics were staples for me. It felt so satisfying in every way and was very learnable. The learning curve made it satisfying once you got there due to a lot of factors like no mini-map. Shooting is not fun and whatever they did to the visual effects when shooting/controlling recoil is embarassing. Why would they remove the vert grip for Twitch?? At least keep it for aesthetics and remove the recoil buff ffs. Something petty would be them removing voicelines/reactions about the environment. Also them removing Mira's original VA... Such bullshit, we get some horrible sounding VA talking from her gullet now because theyre full of shit and "wanted to do something" with Mira instead of the other year 1 ops.. Ohhh idk lets say Castle or instead use Jackal as opposed to changing Miras VA for some deep voiced ass woman? The game has no staying power other than what it is. Rb6 will always have that charm like Tarkov due to no other game being like them. Theyre the og's. Fuck cod s&d and fuck pubg (incase anyone wants to be dumb and bring those unrelated games up, there are parallels sure but not what im talking about). Rainbow used to be fun.

[@TheMusicftw1]

What did they do with Mira exactly?

[@Xedigon]

While I don't play the operator, I believe the removal of Nokk's silent step is worthy of mention here

[@orangeman2100]

The problem with the Frost rework is that there were, and still are, other operators that should have been nerfed or reworked instead. This change negatively impacted Frost and has significantly lowered her pick rate

[@w1lrand3.]

I genuinely think every single change has been positive here except for sledge being a 3 speed tachanka and recruit reworks. The game is very balanced now with no broken operators or metas

[@sniper0073088]

If you think so, i got news for you. You should visit a mental facility.

[@FUTURISTICBSM22]

ive not seen anything about it here. but the glass change isnt too bad for maestro. he can still use his ability the same. he just cant see before opening the glass. and the mira change was needed. if you can get that close to it, then you should be able to destroy it in some way, shape, or form.

[@lochlan9533]

the fact that its the vast majority of "balance" changes that are on this list and have VERY valid reasons as to why they were just bad is astonishing ubisoft is treating siege like the h1z1 dev's did and are just ruining their game with terrible updates

[@Stolentachos]

We can also add to the controversial list the nerf on cav with her steps not being completely silent or echo drones not being invisible at all both nerfs was hated by a lot of people including me for the echo part they ruined him and left him in dust sadly

[@maximelebrocoli]

I remember the shotgun rework controversy like it was yesterday... I think it deserved a place in the list haha

[@chemicaldeath9866]

I love how they are fine with the entire defending team being able to revive themselves with Rook and Doc, BUT LITERALLY ONE SINGULAR FUCKING PRO LEAGUE GAME GETS DECIDED BY ZOFIA, and she needs nerfed???💀🤡 I literally cant wait for Ubislop to go out of business

[@SharplyDressedPlagueDoctor]

ikr like they are meant to be the best at the game and they die to a guy on 1hp lmao

[@Justln-6]

Once again I have to explain this to people who have no logic or knowledge. So, the reason why Withstand got removed WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THE MNM vs Rogue game with Yuzus. That clip had little to no influence on the balancing change, that actual balancing change came 2 weeks after that clip. Do you think Ubisoft does nerfs after 2 weeks from a Pro League clip? No.

[@Justln-6]

Did they nerf Meusli instantly after her intoduction with her broken Banshees? No. It took 2 months. 2 MONTHS TO CHANGE. And if someone like Virtue at the (who played a lot of Melusi) got an insane clip that influenced a round would've they had changed it in the next patch? Probably not.

[@Justln-6]

They balanced off metrics and ban rates at the time. Not a clip from Pro League.

[@emilianocastillejos1330]

Dont worry seeing how badly they are doing right now they could go under in 2025, at least then their IPs could go to someone who actually knows what they’re doing

[@SkovyDovy]

How mine craft handles things being too over powered is by buffing everything thing else, or at least in most cases. If Ubisoft did this the game would be so much more fun

[@blesfemy]

Tachanka is such an easy fix. Mount his gadget to his gun, so u don't have to swap in between them, and give him all it's ammo outright, so u don't have to releaod. It's not that complicated.

[@thorgrin7680]

Ranked 2.0 is a shitshow for me, as I am someone who plays this game off and on at a silver-gold level depending on how much I have played around that time. After Ranked 2.0, i have consistently gone like hard negative because I just get my shit stomped by the one person on the other team who just out gunskills me so bad that I feel like i just am objectively useless. Getting into the start with copper where everyone should be like okay at best and getting dunked on by an ash fully running at my face every round is not fun.

[@haichi5313]

controversial opinion : Ubi does literally anything in R6 and it will be labelled as controversial one way or another

[@brodhaosas9744]

I've been playing this game since operation black ice and the season that made me quit was shadow legacy but there was a season that changed something very controversial you didn't mention. The season that introduced maverick and clash, this season changed the recoil pattern for every gun in the game, made them ''easy to master'' but personally this change made the gun play in the game very boring and unrealistic.

[@venom9370]

Runout timer is eh, but I feel the Maestro eye shattered glass, the cameras outside and sledge smg 11 were definitely dumb. I feel they should've given him SMG11 back if they were gonna make him a 3 armor, sure he'd struggle to run away but he'd have one more option to use potentially. I hate they took away grenade cooking and slightly the throw back mechanic. Same with recruit and the quick match changes.

[@Bl1tzcuit]

The amount of camera transitions in the video is crazy

[@Linline02]

The fact that i stoped playing r6 in 2020 and only knew of 1 of these makes me glad i stopeed playing. Why are 19 of these from the later half of the r6 life cycle

[@hexmaniacdio248]

It always makes me laugh that people thought that frag grenades used to require skill

[@ManOfPillowDoom]

Another controversial change that they quickly went back on was when they gave Ying 4! Gandelas back in steel wave (i think) which was already overkill even after they had just nerfed her before that... It was completely unnecessary and just made playing against her tedious af I believe they went back on it a month after they implemented it. i can't really remember since i stopped playing around that time

[@Monke16-anti_furry]

The only ACOGS they should add back in my opinion are Wamai, Melusi, Maestro, Alibi, and Jaeger, and Maybe smoke and mute smg-11 only

[@sethlee8465]

The thing about cooking nades as an attacker is it took a tremendous amount of skill and communication before yellow ping.

[@im_flat]

Eh, not that much. You just needed a teammate to watch a drone for you and have basic map knowledge regarding floors. Nade from below was always cheap. It was satisfying to do but sucked to be on the end of.

[@sethlee8465]

@im_flat yeah but in all my time playing it never happened to me. I think there's plenty of ways to circumvent it before it happens

[@Echocompany2-7]

The ranked 2.0 has got to be the worst most confusing “balance change” Ubisoft has ever done. Like if there is skill based match making that is just fine for unranked. For ranked if I’m in copper I should be with copper bronze lobbies. Not champs and emeralds. Like. I can’t progress through the ranks if I’m being matched up with guys 10 times better than me all the time. Also the rp system makes no sense. If I drag out and carry my team but lose a match I lose 26-30 rp. When I win a match and drag out I get 18. When I win a match and don’t do anything I get 18. And when I lose a match and don’t do any I lose 26. Like I’m damned if I do damned if I don’t. I feel like I’m being punished playing the game. For doing nothing more than playing the game. Like. Bruh. It’s so dumb bring ranked back the way it was or hell keep how it is just make the ranks mean something so I get matched up with my skill level.

[@ImMimi.x]

comparing ranked 2.0 to a battlepass ive never heard before but is such a quick and snappy way to display most of my feelings towards how awful of a system it is

[@jjvile]

I will always believe that removing Nokk's silent step is the dumbest change they've made (I am a Nokk main and VERY biased)

[@tracers7215]

imo the only thing that needed to change with solis was a bit of range and the ability to use it in the prep phase they killer her pick rate

[@szilardgoor675]

i hate the fact that they removed cooking grenades,i loved doing that

[@timmy5876]

Ping 2.0 is great in my opinion, however i did prefer when u couldn’t ping on cameras, its so easy now to yellow ping a spot on a camera for someone to C4 or wall bang, to tell someone where someone is before u had to use comms or red ping them which let them know they were pinged. Whilst i love getting kills from yellow pings through walls it would be more balanced the other way

[@aronn19]

Imo for Solis I would say alr, remove her impacts and this new scanning mechanic is good for balancing but her time usage, can't use while charging and range distance nerf are things they should change back cause it makes her (imo) kinda useless

[@brandentheultramangofighter]

If you wanna fix spawn peaks or mfs who jump out to spawn kill just add a feature that the first 60 seconds of the game if you try to break a window/jump out to spawn/peak kill a sniper will insta kill you for even trying

[@sissel2]

Remember when if you said a naughty word, it would just outright kick you from the game and ban you for 30 minutes? Spanish speakers would be saying “con” but add an extra o and then get banned and lose rank points for this.

[@Car7789hhsshshhe]

The cooking grenades thing is so dumb to me it was so rewarding to get grenade kills and if they wanted to remove grenading from below all they had to do was restrict grenade damage thru floors not remove the mechanic all together

[@halonoah7746]

Nokk rework, Echo, and hell even Jager ads rework were massive

[@awesomenesscc.663]

Massive?

[@awesomenesscc.663]

LOWWW TAPER FADE

[@simon.r.k]

Gonna say right now at the start of the Video, my prediction is that it is primarely gun nerfs "that ruin the fun" or gadget buffs that make the problem even more oppressive.

[@assyriancomedycentral1753]

ADS TIME, SHIELDS, RANK 2.0, and no one is talking bout this but anyone else miss when they released two operators and a map that they both from.,
