Shield Rework Nerf, New weapons & More | Siege Mailbox

[@Thomas_Angelo]

Shield rework should never be nerfed. Anything(there are more shield counters than impact grenades) that counters shields should be buffed. Nerfing stuff has not fixed much in R6S recently. Buffing and reworks did. Some of the players just want everything nerfed for some reason.

[@FaLLeN3421]

There is a law dispute between Ubisoft and Tom Clancy's children.

[@uberflieger9917]

Because moving fast is more or less necessary for Blitz, maybe adding some kind of stamina system could work. It slowly regenerates, but when sprinting or getting shot against the shild, it goes down. It would make it necessary to play a bit more defensive and cautious. You can't just sprint right into everything, because you won't be able to retreat so easily. But just an idea.

[@memegod6750]

@@uberflieger9917 I mean, for all the other shield operators that's a fine idea, but Blitz's entire purpose is to be a fast rusher. So that would kind of remove his ability to work as intended

[@binhanjustbinhan9141]

I am quite new to the game as I just enter last season but I want to contribute my idea to the shield rework nerf: I think instead having to nerf the shield movement speed or damage when meleing, I think would worth a try to makes so that those 2 statistic should be build up rather than being fixed as right now. What it mean is that when you start sprinting, you move quite slow (Probably -5% or just 0%) but the longer you do so, the more speed you gain to the point you are at the speed of not having the shield (5% to 10%). During the process of you gaining momentum, your melee damage also gradually increase from 20 to 50 and only at maxium or 50% of the builded up momentum then you can knock down oppoment rather than just being able to do that at first hit right now. Suppression effect will reset the builded up momentum. It could also suggested that this mechanics would also have the same effect as Oryx Dash against soft wall but I think it too OP and replace the use of Sledge so I think that wouldn't fit.

[@Someoneudontknowof]

For the buff, I think Tachanka. His guns are all great where they are, but his ability needs a good buff. For a nerf, I'm not as sure. Fenrir and Solis already got theirs, and idk who else is really too OP at the moment

Do you think siege needs more personal customization and custom tweaking to the user interface and hud? I’m pretty sensitive to screen light and I get migraines from the neon UI, and when I turn down the brightness it’s hard to play the actual game. I wish they would have dark mode or smth.

[@grovePS3]

Nerfing shield melee damage would be irrelevant. A player hit by a shield is stunned for long enough to kill them with a pistol, so everyone will just shoot them after the first hit. You need to get off this nerf mentality. Adding counters is the sensible and fun way to balance things.

[@warius3462]

[@Meepers26]

Bandit Buff? Specifically, allowing his batteries to be placed a short distance away, connected by a wire to whatever they are electrifying. I think that would make him a bit more level with Kaid (who imo is a bit better, since he can electrify things liked barbed wire and reinforcements through walls), and make it so he (Bandit) can actually be effective electrifying barbed wire, since currently you can easily shoot the battery in the puddle of wire, removing the electric effect. I've been playing Kaid a fair amount recently, especially with the barbed wire on chokepoints, and letting bandit do something similar would be very enjoyable.

[@warcrimes8572]

i think shield rework is alright. but needs a slight nerf my idea: shields can only FULLY knock down someone if they are fully sprinting. if they are walking or standing still, the shield only does 35 damage and doesn't make them fall down, but instead makes them stumble. this can help prevent montagne from walking up to someone, cornering them, and just unshielding and killing them. but it still helps by makes shields able to work with teammates who can take advantage of the stumble in which they are stunned for only around .6 -.8 seconds. the shields can still use that time to back off and create space but they cannot get a confirmed kill by simply knocking someone down and bashing them again and they have to expose themselves to fire from other angles (because they have to shoot the knocked down person) but it still leaves them on 1 hp

[@Dude-do8vo]

Maybe not the most interesting question but I like to talk about it: How do you feel about the battlepass system (content, challenges etc.) and what would you keep/change about it?

One of the problems is that the shield is doing remote melee. People get hit from far away and same goes for knives!

DMR's have proved to be very strong on Defense. But not so much in attack. Do you think they should do a complete 180° and bring them all to Defense? And add attackers a different option? (Maybe like some strong smg's with the new option of a Acog)

[@poptartninja]

I think a cool ass detectives special snub nose revolver would be a cool secondary

[@StonexRanger]

Blackbeard and Kali should be their normal speed when they have their shield/sniper out. It’s so stupid how they haven’t changed it considering they’re both really weak

[@menerdo]

I've always wished lights played more of a role in Siege. No chance of a rework of all the lights at this point, but what if emp's could temporarily disable lights too? This would be an even bigger buff if they brought night maps back.

[@ComradeInspector]

What do you think of the Greek operator that’s coming to siege next season? Do you think she’ll be a sniper related operator like Glaz Or Kali since she knew Glaz in the past? We haven’t gotten any kind of sniper related operator since Kali. I think that would be cool. Maybe some kind of custom DMR. 🤔

What do you think can be a solution against cheaters? Is it completely new anti-cheat by ubi or maybe software from external companies? Problem with cheaters is so massive, that even in FaceIT matches you face them a lot.

[@jakebocskovits7426]

Deimos getting an UB grip while Nomad can’t means to me that operators will get their own custom specific attachments for their weapons in the future rather than the gun locking in those attachments. Similar to how some OPs have ACOGS for the MP5K (wamai) when others don’t (mute).

[@AntoniusHade]

so u're implying that we may need gunsmithing like Xdefiant or COD? I believe R6 Mobile also have this feature, would love to see something like this in the future . . .

[@itzshadowz7467]

If they did a siege Show. The main characters are obviously Ash and Thermite. They’d give Cav spotlight, Doc too. Everyone else would ranging but smaller features. Nighthaven would appear in later seasons with Kali, Wamai and Osa being their main characters. Even later on Deimos would become a main villain.

[@tristanjensen5484]

whats your thoughts on fire in R6? In my opinion, fire it quite underwhelming and is really only good if you stand still in it, or if your are already low. I was thinking if they added a burning effect that would make you take damage over some time, and that you had to put out to avoid set damage, quite similar to lesion 🤔. Also since we only have 3 operators with fire gadget, what if we added a secondary gadget? something like a Molotov cocktail or an incendiary granede (even if it would be strong, you could just limit the amount to a single grenade). on a side note, I personally feel we have a limited optionsfor secondary gadgets, and this could just be another option.

[@CAPTAINCALLAHAN]

Should Sens be able to see through their gadget? Similar to how Ying can see through candelas and Glaz with smoke? To balance it out maybe make it to where they only have 3 instead of what they have now

About the new guns being added, I feel like either we should either get a version of the UZI as a secondary or like Thorn’s primary, or with the Blackbeard rework, he by chance gets different weapons, maybe including adding a version of the SCAR assault rifle to the game

[@Deadlyvoltage3]

I swear, every opinion you have on something being too strong/weak is the polar opposite of mine somehow. Like I think the m4 for Deimos would be very obviously overpowered

[@5amu3lmanzella83]

Hot take, but shield bash shouldnt kill, just push enemies the floor, and if you want to kill as a shield operator you will need to use your pistol, because right now 2 shield bash being able to kill is kinda OP. Shield speed doesnt need to change, since supression slows shield already

[@raider5895]

I have always wanted them to take the smg of tachanka and give him the ppsh-41 since in lore hes a collector, and Idk if there is a more well know ww2 Russian weapon. I imagine it would have similar stats to the scorpion on ela just more horizontal recoil. Your Thouht's?

[@sidneyghatisingh5720]

i think making it take longer than it takes to break a castle barracade is way too much of a nerf, the shield goes from a 2 hit kill to at least a 10 hit kill. It would make shields horrible. how would you even atempt a 1vs5 as a shield op,, its WAY too much of a nerf it doesnt make sense that hitting someone with a shield does 10dmg but switching to your pistol and then pressing the melee button insta-kills. IMO the move speed change would be enough. for the people who say its "un-counterable" you can shoot at thier feet, melee, shoot at thier shoulder or have a teamate shoot them while they're after you, not to mention abilities like: Smoke, Maestro, tachanka, goyo, Leision, kapkan or dear i say Clash i really think its in a ok spot right now but it seems like Ubi is going to over nerf it, as usual. Pro league has killed alot of fun from siege for the sake of "Better Balancing"

[@wyffd]

Monty is now a top tier fragger. Shield rework is therefore a failure

[@cat_goes_meow139]

I think shields are a cool subclass that should get the chance to be strong, making them something to note when you see them on the other team. That being said, I’d love to see a few more counters added to them, like a tripwire secondary gadget that forces anyone who walks through it into crouch and forces their weapons away. Make it hard to shoot, and force people with shields to coordinate with their team to take space. Add it to attack too for flank watch, and it could be cool. I’d love to see more operators on defense with shields.

[@drum_blade]

Keep it up man I really enjoying this series🔥

[@angelotarog149]

What do you think of this 2 vigil buffs, first one is that switches the white interference static that you see on a drone, so basically when you are an attacker droning you will see the interference static the same no matter where vigil is if his gadget is on, as for vigil the static will become more active and vibrate more if a drone is near you. Or keep the current vigil but this buff makes his gadget unlimited but there will be an acivation animation same as solis and pulse where he turns on his erc7 gadget and make the sound cue of turning it on louder, as to balance this you can only walk or slow walk during when his gadget is active, sprinting will deactivate it and you will need to turn it on again, i would love both buffs to be implemented but i feel like it would be too strong, what are your thoughts kudos?

Love your videos. I was wondering if you’d try other shooters not to make content but maybe a one off. I think you’d like Hunt Showdown it’s getting a huge overhaul soon.

[@Ddoughnutty]

The Shield bash should be two different. If you just tap the melee button then you stay covered but it does 5 hp knocks them down and you get a “debuff” (similar symbol to when you are EMPed.) a red circle pops up and decreases until you can bash again. Probably 2.5 seconds or so. The red circle “debuff” is just a visual thing so you know why you can’t melee again. Now if you long press the melee button then he does the old animation where they swing the shield at you. That can still two hit you. Knocks you on your ass gives you a slight Ela like effect and then the player can do it again or ADS. But make this a slow animation and a slow recovery of the shield. Boom you have options with the melee attacks now.

[@timewarpdino]

They could rework the suppression mechanic so that each bullet pushes the shield user back instead of adding to a suppression threshold which stops sprint. This means that every gun has at least some way suppress a shield and logically makes more sense. It also means the suppression can affect clash. The current system means you have to dump a mag, and while they are vulnerable you are reloading, especially considering most defenders have an smg.

[@sidneyghatisingh5720]

so what good is a shield then, why not use the counters that most every siege op has, Nitro cell, impacts, melee, shooting thier feet/shoulders, oryx, clash, maestro, smoke, tachanka, goyo, Lesion, kapkan. Thier are so much counters right now but people just dont use it and i really dont know why. what i always do if i think somehting is overpowered is i start to use it and see how it plays and how it gets countered i think most of the people who complain either are in low elo lobbies or they just dont want to change how they already play. Same thing with the Alibi elite

[@timewarpdino]

@@sidneyghatisingh5720 You're shoving words down my throat I never said anything about shields being overpowered I just suggested a rework to one of their mechanics. nitro cells and impacts are not guranteed pieces of utility that you will always have in your back pocket and operator abilities take the place of potentially more useful utility. The suppression mechanic is not meant to be a hard counter to shields it is meant to give the player at least one option when facing them, especially with attacker repick in the game, defenders can never know what they're up against. Considering the state of the suppression mechanic right now it might as well not exist. Sure you could say you can predict when they will play shields but in the high elo lobbies you imply you play in, if they see you playing a counter to shields they'll just swap off the shield.
