The BIGGEST Nerfs In Rainbow Six Siege History

[@jaycrumb]

I don’t think ubisoft realizes the impact grenade nerf has a direct impact on the increase of shields being utilized. That along with the buff of shields has been a major shift in gameplay

[@tom0900060]

Yeah I'm fed up with this shield meta, I played very little this season.

[@Peteydapenguin]

@@tom0900060 I heard that there nerfing shields next season or sumthing so hopefully the don’t fuck it up

[@Astatos-Lota]

​@@PeteydapenguinNew shield with Blackbeard too

[@cybersentient4758]

@@Peteydapenguin i doubt anything good will be removed, the melee priority and the nerf to impacts are just insane decisions from the balancing team

[@theultimateprime8478]

I don’t really think it was a shield buff. Before the rework you could just hit someone and that’s it you killed him. Now you just push them and have to melee one or twice. Ubisoft is just killing its game making it unplayable. Granada rework was stupidest rework ever made when literally defenders run around with a C4 with even more control.

[@destrodevil6975]

Solis without impact grenade is like Pulse without C4. Now there is no reason to pick Solis over Pulse for plant denial.

[@Paper_cutz]

Actually Solis in a good spot right now. Yes, you need direct intel from your team sometimes, but if you turn on your brain and use spec-io right - she still good. On release she was braindead choice

[@drjamaymay405]

Pulse can't bring a shotgun, but Solis can. That's the difference, she doesn't need impacts

[@meroastisruined3039]

Wym pulse can’t bring a shotgun? They both have shotguns.

[@drjamaymay405]

@@meroastisruined3039 If you have a machine pistol, you can bring a shotgun because you still have an automatic weapon. Pulse doesn't have a machine pistol, and his shotgun isn't very good either. Solis has the best machine pistols and a pump shotgun.

[@trentsmith4770]

Does anybody remember when you could use your twitch drone during the prep/drone phase

[@ussselesss]

I just started playing again after years and didn't even know you couldn't do this anymore. I thought you would just have one drone less when you switch to her during drone phase.

[@Clay_333]

Damn, I didn't know you couldn't anymore. I don't play Siege anymore because literally every change Ubisoft has made just makes the game less fun. When this game first came out I put thousand of hours into it, but played less and less over time. My favorite time in the game was season 3 and it just got worse and worse over time after that.

[@shadowflame8647]

You mean Skull Rain? Because yeah, Skull Rain on launch was peak year 1 Siege. Blackbeard was at his best with his 800hp shield and Caveira had nitrocell. Also the Smg11 still had the ACOG

[@valiant__]

I think a good honorable mention that was released in the test server but reverted after complaints by basically the whole player base was smoke not being immune to his own gas canisters

[@RanseAlmenteros]

He is ?

[@valiant__]

@@RanseAlmenteros meant to say that he wasnt immune to his own smokes in a test server a few years ago and it got reverted.

[@RanseAlmenteros]

@@thezenyattamain4244 well mute where is the gas mask for the style? I think he should be immune to it, but I guess not.

[@TheARMichJFrog]

The frost change was stupid because nobody asked for it. Who actually thought frost was strong enough to warrant a nerf??

[@wongjunkit6205]

Exactly. As a frost main this is so stupid. Imagine if kapkan doesn't kill you and just give you leg damage when you run through it? Both kapkan and frost punish people who dont drone, if you fall into a frost mat, its not "unfair", its their fault for not droning out. Heck, its so easily countered by jumping, looking down and shooting it. I wouldn't complain so much if they gave frost 4 mats to her to counter the nerf, but nope. Just straight nerf for no reason what so ever. Rainbow Nerf Siege. God forbid making other operators viable, just nerf them to the ground. RIP Jager.

[@thezenyattamain4244]

Sad thing is I remember every single one of these changes but I slowly stopped playing this game I just no longer find the game as fun as what it was before chimera

[@KingKiwi5150]

None of these nerfs are as big as gridlock though

[@zion1405]

Nothing is as big as gridlock.

[@Alak-Hul_Darkblade]

[@kyuubiplayer]

Ubisoft and blizzard love nerfing instead of fixing

[@Zpazedolphin]

I don't hear alot of People talk about the bullet hole nerf since you used to be able to shoot a very ting peek hole that was almost invisble to the other team, but now it seems like the playerbase has forgotten about it completely

[@firetube8288]

Ye well, it was unfun bs

[@raymondyeoh1394]

i mean that nerf is understandable because u literally cant see enemy head on the other side

[@TabbuEme]

@@Zpazedolphin It's a good nerf.

[@jaswanthcs]

The impact nerf was actually targeted towards impact tricking walls, if I remember correctly. It's very difficult to impact trick on sites like Throne room and Consulate basement because of the explosive radius being very small

[@vehementduck]

I think that instead of nerfing the cooking of frags bc every realistic shooter with frags has the ability to cook them, they shoulda made the damage of the nade from below lower like 50-60 damage imo

[@derpmanaveragegamer7791]

They should have just hella reduced damage propagation through objects, instead of nerfing frags across the board

[@lolbro217]

I've been saying this since the change bro nades are basically useless for kills now all they had to do was make them do less damage through floors and walls n keep the cooking mechanic and it would've been perfect

[@JustinSimoneau]

To be fair if you go realistic no army cook grenade ever that basically the first thing camp teach you with them

[@KasettoQuota]

theyve publicly said in the blog for Deep Freeze they tried multiple different things, including what youre describing, and stated it wouldnt work

[@insquared1868]

Ela scorpion is a decent gun now, they reworked it's recoil to the point you can easily spray with a compensator even without a vertical grip.

[@sammorrissey9094]

The biggest nerf was removing the ACOG from the SMG11

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

Solis got nerfed into Oblivion. The first half was perfect, they made her more useless overall then Clash, as a Frost Main, I didn't see an issue with her rework. Only thing that pisses me off is if it's the last attacker, I.e 1vX. It should end the round, because it's a Downed but not Out status. On attack you only can ever enter that state if you have 2 or more attackers, grab Rook armor or have a Finka on your team

[@blackshadexl]

yea honestly you should see a problem with the Frost Rework. I dont think many people realize if you bring Finka if you notice a frost on defense in prep phase. If you step on a frost mat you can counter walking slow and the blood trail by just Finka Boosting. Ubisoft completely destroyed Frost as well. It doesnt make it any better that her gun is toilet juice.

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

@blackshadexl not really. First off, people would need to play Finka. On PC recoil is abyssmal, and console is worthless. 2nd, people play Frost the wrong way. They place and forget, instead of playing near them. Play near your mats, get the sound cue, swing and unless you have horrible timing, you catch them mid animation of breaking out

[@blackshadexl]

@@SuperSayianWarrior you just proved why she was nerfed into being useless. People aren't playing her that way in the 1st place....

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

@blackshadexl that's on them. That's people not playing an op correctly as opposed to the Op being nerfed to Oblivion, See Solis or better yet BLACKBEARD for examples of The type of Nerf You are claiming Frost to have

[@blackshadexl]

@@SuperSayianWarrior Frost is right there with em

[@AussiePlays9350]

So let me get this straight. Defenders can use pulse to go below the bomb site wait for a plant, scan then use nitro. But attackers nading defenders from below by cooking granades is out of the question

[@jimmyjohn9223]

If you cooked them you had no chance as opposed to nitrogen where they have a little bit of delay when on the floor it's slightly different but nadss are just an insta kill if you cook on time which is shit

[@EgoGhostX]

​@@jimmyjohn9223 yea but their was skill in cooking nades even pros killed themselves in pro legue

[@masterdoom7137]

giving attackers budget nitro cells is a bigger issue, whereas for pulse that's literally his gadget he deserves to be able to do that

[@drakerobinson3252]

In one scenario, you’re punished for poor droning, in another you’re just screwed. Entirely different

[@AussiePlays9350]

@ I mean if that’s the case bring back the ability to cook granades but make the nade time reset when it hits a floor/roof

[@dr.narwhalmd4885]

I do think the fenrir rework, other than his mines being breakable by bullets and twitch drones when closed, was pretty solid, as it was really annoying to lose an entire mine token just because one got destroyed. Seeing one get destroyed and being able to immediately turn on another makes the gameplay much smoother.

[@onelazynoob15]

[@SwimmingSwaglessShroud]

You forgot to talk about sentry nerf according to most people their used to be a tactic with the proximity alarm and nitrocell they nerfed proximity alarm and allow only in certain areas your near your able to be rewarded points for the proximity alarm to activate

[@joshtheguythatgames1729]

Like why did they do this, I've never even died to this strat 😭🙏

[@DrtyALGreen]

I haven't been playing the past two seasons since Ubi started treating us like a cash machine with the premium BP and underwhelming content. Since the main guys in Montreal have all moved on you can feel the love of the game and the players is gone. I dont know if they'll ever get that magic back, but if they do I'll come back. I can't uninstall it, I want to play but I don't like being rug pulled when I paid for a year of BP and only got 3 out 4 seasons of it because they switched to premium in the last season.

[@raymondyeoh1394]

i swear ubisoft really need to stop nerfing ops because it hard for new players to play. Most of their explanation for their nerf is mostly because for new players to counter them easily

if you think that removing the ability to cook frag was necessary i dont think u understand this games mechanics well. this was the last drop that made me and my buddies to quit this game. this was a very odd way to balance the game while the defense was already outpowering the attack.
