Lion, who was introduced in Operation Chimera, has been the target of a lot of criticism since his introduction, mainly due to his ability to scan the entire map and easily locate any moving enemies. As an attacker, he can effectively shut down the entire defensive teamâs ability to roam and collect information, as the risk of being pinged by his drone is simply too great a risk. Currently, the only way to avoid having your location shown to the entire enemy team is to simply remain still for vital seconds.
G2 Esportsâ Rainbow Six Siege team captain Fabian has started a petition to remove one operator from the game entirely, after months of complaints about his overpowered nature from all levels of play have finally hit a fever pitch.Twitter, the result of this is that the defense is much more likely to simply hole up in one place âlike a scared chickenâ. Siegeâs enjoyment lives and dies on clutch wins and unexpected plays, and Lion is considered by much of the community to be antithetical to that.
Man I don't miss playing with or against Lion, first time in 3 months. He is horrible. It is so sad that one operator has such a massive impact on the way you have to play, it makes you not take any risks and sit still like a scared chicken.

It is also worth noting that Lion has one of the highest banned pick rates of any operator in the competitive scene. At the Paris Majors in August (which G2 won), he had a whopping 63.9% ban rate, being beaten only be defender Mira at 71.9%. Considering the second highest ban rate for an attacker was Glaz at only 39.1%, it shows just how problematic Lion has become since his introduction.
The community has suggested potential nerfs for Lion, such as limiting the pings to only Lion, instead of the rest of the team, or give the defense a way to counter or outright destroy the drone. Some players believe Lion should be the attackerâs equivalent of Pulse: a decent operator for location, but with severe limitations that require constant communication with their team.
At the time of writing, the petition has received 1,100 signatures in the one hour it has been live. While it is unlikely the calls for removal are genuine, it is big actions by high-profile players like this that are most likely to attract Ubisoftâs attention, so expect big overhauls to Lion in the not-too-distant future.
Pick Rate Rainbow Six Siege Advanced Edition
Several huge changes for Rainbow Six Siege were announced during the Six Invitational tournament that include a Pick & Ban game mode and free operators for players.
The Six Invitational is the professional gamersâ chance to shine on the big stage and take home the top spot, but itâs also the perfect time for Ubisoft to reveal info about changes and improvements that are on the way while bringing in new esports viewers. Ubisoft did just that during the event with a detailed list of whatâs coming.
The video below showcases some of the changes along with an explanation from the developers to help make sense of all the changes, some of which are exclusive to the Pro League and others that will affect all players.
The most notable of the changes is the new Pick & Ban mode, a system thatâll allow pro players to ban away problematic operators that they donât want to play against.
Each team will be able to ban two operators for a full match by choosing one attacker and one defender. Once banned, these operators canât be picked by either team. Both teams will be able to see who the other team is picking prior to the droning phase with each team having the ability to change out a character based on the information.
The new Pick & Ban mode is one thatâll add another layer of strategy and mind games to pro games, but itâll eventually be available for normal players to use as well. Itâll be made available to pro players during Year 3 with the system supposedly trickling down to Ranked matches later in the season.
Another huge change thatâll affect players who donât have all of the operators they want just yet will come in the form of multiple free operators.
Beginning with the new Year 3 DLC season that starts on March 3, each version of the game aside from the Starter Edition will have all 20 base operators unlocked for free. Those who do have the Starter Edition will now have six operators unlocked as apposed to the current system that allows four operators to be available.

In addition to the operator changes, attachments are also being made free as well. This means that every attachment for weapons that have already been released or will become available will be free to players to allow for further free customization.
The premium operators that release with the DLC will still have to be purchased with Renown or real-world cash like they currently are.

Rainbow Six Siegeâs maps will also be undergoing changes in Year 3 with several maps receiving âbuffsâ and one getting a complete rework.
Hereford Base is the map thatâll get the full rework, a preview of the update being shown through the gameâs Twitter account. The 35-second video shows off the new Hereford Base along with a brief list of the changes coming in Year 3.
These âmap buffsâ that are coming are adjustments to the existing maps such as the removal of a door or the addition of a wall. The Rainbow Six team discussed the buffs in the Pick & Ban video while saying that the drive behind the changes was to make sure theyâre âimproving the meta to make sure our game modes withstand the test of time.â
Last on the list of changes is one that applies directly to the professional players with the Pro League season being extended to six months.
âThe intention with Year 3 of the competition is to increase our commitment,â the Rainbow Six Siege team said in the previous video.
To do so, âmore layersâ are being added to the Pro League. One of these layers will come in the form of an extension of the Pro League format thatâll double its duration from three months to six months.
âThat allows every team to actually compete every week, one against the other,â the video continued. âThat means that every match is being streamed, every fan can actually follow their favorite team, and it makes the competition much fairer and more stable as well.â
