Frost + Lesion trap

[Fradley110]

Anyone else feel like there being a frost mat that can effectively instakill you if Lesion throws a nearby gu mine is ludicrous? Surely not intentional by Ubi right

this is r6s.nothing is realistic/

Why not? You get hit by double trap you deserve death.

[Nepgear]

It's ludicrous that you can throw a drone and spot it from a safe location.

Seems fair, you're pretty dead anyway if you fall onto a frost trap

My issue is less about realism and more about a game mechanic, you go into a frost mat and you get downed as intended, one gu mine however makes that an insta-death

Except it’s one trap, the frost mat, which Ubi intended to be an insta down that requires an enemy to finish you off or your team can pick you up. But 1 of the 7 of lesions gu mines makes it an instakill. Seems stupid

Well in this instance that led to this post I probably could have been revived assuming we weren’t jumped haha

I had spotted the frost mat but it was over a shield we couldn’t shoot, so I jumped over and hipfired as Monty. Apparently didn’t hit it enough, thought no worries as I should have been safe, but instead I got instakilled

Seems like a very powerful mechanic for Lesion that

Same goes for attacker side though, if you injure someone twitch drone can take them out so.... should they remove that too?

But that’s much different, twitch has to drone around and find said person who’s injured. This however literally just requires a frost mat being put down and then 1 gu mine in the safety of the prep phase and it turns what’s intended to be a down into a kill. If anything it’s more like Nomads Airjab and Claymore combo but requires zero risk or skill

If you weren't a shielder you'd have been fine. If you had someone blow up the shield you'd have been fine. If you had a shock drone or EMP at the shield you'd have been "fine". Lots of counters.

My issue isn’t whether I would be fine or not in other scenarios, it’s that a situation that rightfully led to me being downed and potentially shot at or revived on 50HP resulted instead in my death because of the use of 1 of Lesions 7 gu mines. Frost mats aren’t intended to be an instakill. If it’s meant to be an instakill you may as well make the frost mat an instakill in the first place now that Kaplan’s aren’t

Also our shock drone couldn’t get past the shield and we didn’t have anyone who could destroy it or thatcher lol

[Froctus]

Considering
A: Lesion only gets 7 mines if he survives long
B: Any operator without a shield can easily destroy the trap whether there's a window or shield blocking it.

It's a fine mechanic that rewards teamwork between operators.

We should instead be focusing on nerfing Ash finally.

thats your first mistake. shield ops cant handle that well. main guns from non shield operators can take the frost mat out quick

You said you were playing Monty right ?
If you play Monty, a good rule is to be hella paranoid about frost mats and dropping your extension.
You kind of earned this one, next time let someone destroy it with something explosive that destroys the shield.
It's the equivalent of being frosted into bandit's batteries+barbed.
