Rainbow 6: Siege’s Y9S3.3 Designer’s Notes are a fuckin doozy

Holy hell, Doc is in 65% of ranked console matches??!? I hope they nerf his ability to heal himself because he’s a fan favorite of spawn-peekers who are the polar opposite of team-players. Alternatively, get rid of his SMG and give him shotgun options only (spicy take, I know)

Ballistic shields are FOR SURE losing their Oryx-like knockdown ability in S4. Maybe make the shields more resilient against melee attacks, and maybe change shield melee to interrupt whatever the receiving player is doing (shooting, reloading, vaulting, etc)

I’m so excited about this Iana buff. Her drone should be better than normal drones but it has never felt that way. Really looking forward to this change

Jackal and Kali changes are both positives but I doubt they’ll make a big difference.

Mozzie’s change is interesting. I think it would be better if he got a 4th pest but only if it was progressively generated, like Lesion’s mines or Dokk’s logic bombs. But also, why give him impacts after taking away his trademark Super Shorty??!?!?

I’m a Zero main, through-and-through. I am extremely aroused right now.

6 CAMERAS?!?!?? I was gonna ask just to be able to pick up misplaced cams, but fuck yeah GIMME 6

Zofia is once again a better Ash pick and I’m here for it. Kill the Ash pick rate pls

Damn. What an update.

I cannot wait to hear about the Blackbeard rework.
