PRO LEAGUE RAINBOW SIX PICK RATES PRO

Increase footsteps scanning distance from 5m to 8m.As such, we would rather do very minor changes to encourage players to try other Operators, and to work towards making other Operators as fun to play as Twitch and Ash. We want to reduce how regularly she is picked to make room for other Operators, but we do not want to make her less powerful or fun to play. Similar to Ash, it is higher than what we would like to see. Twitch currently has a ~60% pick rate in Ranked. We wanted to reduce his damage a bit to make him more situational.

Glaz is strong in every situation, and is too strong in Pro League (indicated by contest rate (contest = Picks + Ban)). We also have seen that the SR-25 is favored, and want to make the choice between the SR-25 and MK17 a bit more difficult. We want to make him a bit more appealing and comfortable though, so these changes are aimed towards that.

30% reduction in movement speed penalty when the Rifle Shield is equipped (He will move faster)Д«lackbeard is in a good place in terms of power, so we do not want to make him stronger.

Reduce the hit points on the Rifle Shield from 60 to 50.

We will have more drastic changes for IQ in the distant future, but wanted to make these changes in the short term to make room for other Operator choices, and increased variety, in Pro League. The increase in detectable gadgets has buffed IQ each time, so we need to balance her a bit. In the past, we gave her a Frag Grenade in a time when her gadget was less useful. For example, we have observed that she is sometimes in Pro League even when Valkyrie and Echo are banned, which leads us to believe that she is too good of a choice in too many situations. As a 3 Speed Operator with a very strong rifle, she is very effective when it comes to killing enemies. IQ is currently too good in terms of her fragging power + utility.

Electronics detection reduced from 20m to 15m.

We are reducing the damage modifier so that the counter will still work, but is less efficient.

We are giving her Frag grenades to make her a bit more appealing of a choice in terms of her utility, while not making her significantly stronger.ДЇinka is not currently used very often in Pro League, and one of the main reasons is that SmokeвЂ™s Gas Canisters do twice as much damage when you are under the effects of Adrenaline Boost. By reducing the timer, we are trying to increase the timing challenge for players by reducing the duration of the abilityвЂ™s effects. With the HP boost lasting for 20 seconds it was very efficient. We suspect that a big part of her power comes from the HP boost, which may have a silent impact (silent in terms of player perspective). This is somewhat counter intuitive, and thus presents us with a unique opportunity to make some tweaks and adjustments. We want her to be more popular, but also make her weaker. Aim down sights modifier from Adrenaline Rush reduced from -50% to -25%.

Reduce SmokeвЂ™s Gas Canister damage modifier.Stun grenades will be replaced with Frag grenades.Reduce ability duration from 20 seconds to 10 seconds.
