Rainbow Six Siege's most popular Attacker doesn't actually need a nerf

In a similar fashion to other competitive multipler experiences, the topic of balancing changes is everpresent in the Rainbow Six Siege community - and calls for buffs and nerfs are often spurred as much by Ubisoft's own analysis and statistics as it is the players' experiences. The somewhat recent concerns among this shooting game's playerbase that a Rainbow Six Siege Iana nerf is imminent is a prime example of this. However, even if she's regarded as one of the best Attackers available right now, the same statistics that highlight her popularity can also be used to justify why she's just fine in her current state.


Ahead of Rainbow Six Siege's Y7S4.2 title update and the release of a new set of patch notes, Ubisoft has released another edition of its' Designer's Notes - a blog post that aims to explore the current state of the game statistically and explain any upcoming changes.


As you will be able to see for yourself below, when looking at a graph that compares Attackers' pick rates and their win rates in Rainbow Six Siege (when not banned), Iana is something of an anomaly. She's easily the most popular Attacker in Rainbow Six Siege right now, and her win rate is erring on the stronger side when compared to her peers.

It's that time of the year again - Happy Holidays from the Rainbow Six Siege team!

To celebrate the festive season, we have a special surprise for you:

Every player connecting to the game between December 22nd, 2022, and January 3rd, 2023, will be awarded a free Holiday Pack!

The Holiday Pack will be accessible in the Pack section on the home screen. Once activated, players will receive one free Operator from Year 1-7. This Operator will be randomly selected and will not include any Operators that the player has already unlocked.

Those who already own all Operators will receive a brand-new free headgear and uniform for the Operator Ying, as well as a brand-new signature weapon skin - holiday-themed of course!

We hope you enjoy this little gift from the team, and we wish you a great start to the new year.

COMMUNITY ARTIST BUNDLE PROGRAM Y7S4: RETRODISASTER


The Community Artist Bundle Program is bringing yet another amazing bundle in Y7S4 in collaboration with Prime Gaming. This new edition has been designed by the talented Retrodisaster for the operator Ace! Starting December 14th, his operator bundle will be available to redeem for a limited time on the dedicated Rainbow Six Siege Prime gaming page.

With this program, we want to celebrate our amazingly creative and dedicated community artists and give them the chance to have their art styles represented in-game. Each chosen artist will have the opportunity to design a full set for an operator of their choice and the resulting bundles will become available for limited time during Year 7 and beyond.

Don't forget to have a look at our previous bundles if you haven't yet: SAU_SIEGE, Sunstark, FrAgMenT, Pericote, Shinosaaaaaaang, Siege Tales.

Retrodisaster's Ace Operator Bundle includes:
  • Uniform
  • Headgear
  • AK-12 weapon skin
  • Charm

[h3]HOW TO REDEEM THE BUNDLE[/h3]

The Retrodisaster Operator Bundle will be available via Prime Gaming for a limited time, starting from December 14th.

[h3]ABOUT THE ARTIST[/h3]
In January 2020, Retrodisaster started posting Rainbow Six Siege-related artwork. Following the great response and feedback he received from the community, he was motivated to share more of his art on social media, and we are glad to see that he keeps on posting it to this day!

Through his sickly sweet and light-hearted comics, Retrodisaster wants to reproduce real interactions that he had with his friends and relatives, making the situations silly by giving his characters big eyes and keeping his usual pastel color palette.

As Ace is Norwegian, Retrodisaster wanted to show the operator's origins with a warm sweater, earmuffs, and the trapper hat that sits silly on his head. The details on Ace's outfit represent friendships and the people Retrodisaster had the opportunity to meet through the Siege community, those who encouraged him and gave him the motivation to draw even more. By adding those details in his bundle, he took the opportunity to show his appreciation for the community and the friends he has made during his journey as a Siege community artist.

To see more of Retrodisaster's work, go check his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
