It’s tough living in a post-pick/ban world, but I think I’ll survive. Since the playlist is only available during the four weekends leading up to the Six Invitational, I’m stuck playing vanilla Siege for now. Comments from developers last year indicate that they’ve considered it before, but hopefully this event gives them the proof they need that these features make for a more interesting and competitive Siege. Much of the community, myself included, are hopeful that Ubi is taking the positive feedback seriously and are planning to implement similar rules into the base Ranked mode. I’m an advocate for almost every map being playable in Ranked despite some imbalance (not you, Favela and Plane), so dicing the map choice down even more just exacerbates existing map burnout. Welcome to the Rainbow Six: Siege esports subreddit, a community for competitive-minded fans to discuss news, clips, matches, and all things Rainbow Six: Siege esports. These are a good fit for pro-level play, but I can take or leave them. playlist includes a few other parameters that mirror the Pro League model like a trimmed down map pool of seven, bomb mode only, and longer arming times for the defuser. Overall it’s worth having, but it might need some tweaks. The reason this rotation was first added to Pro League was more about viewership than the experience of players-Ubi rightly figured viewers can keep track of the players better when they aren’t constantly switching roles. Some map sites are widely considered better balanced for one role over another, so the random assignment of who plays what first can matter in a small way.

If you lose all three of your attacks and go into defense one round away from defeat, you have less of a chance to prove your defense skills. On the other hand, the new rotation has some disadvantages.
