Rainbow Six Siege leaks hint at console mouse and keyboard sanctions

We know this is something that should go without saying, but it's worth reiterating: accuracy is everything in Rainbow Six Siege. Sure, player positioning and team composition are important too, but you still need to land your shots - preferably before your oppontents - if you want to win.
