The Worst Part of this Game

[GarbageCollector]

For new players: There's just too many maps.

Basic map knowledge is the most fundamentally essential skill in this game after being able to shoot with some accuracy, sometimes even more important.

12 maps in ranked x 4 bomb sites x 2 bombs per site. You have 96 (- a few for overlaps like Oregon kitchen) individual strategies you need to consider just to reinforce and *anchor on site*, the most straightforward role for a brand new player. It's not a reward of skill, it's a reward of play time. You want to keep it this way for ranked? I get it, especially with map bans, it keeps it fresh enough but still a high skill ceiling.

But why on earth do you get MORE choice in Ranked what map you are going to play than in Casual? Apart from choosing to play on the most recently reworked map for a brief period of time (why isn't this permanent?) you can't choose anything. AND THEY EVEN ROTATE. They're not even the same maps month after month. I played 300 hours of this game before playing Yacht once.

Do you have any idea how many players never even pick up the game and try it, even on free weekends, because they've seen a YouTube video or stream and discovered how huge it is? How many accounts are out there that are less than about level 30 because they just got tired of getting shot from places they didn't know people could go and were looking the wrong way in a room they've never seen before?

Siege definitely does have a steep learning curve. That's always been the one thing about Siege that gave new players pause long before we began to introduce new maps, operators, and features.

I think that's where T-Hunt comes into play, especially since you can pick and choose which maps you play Elimination on. Not only does T-Hunt help your aim and target selection, running those after awhile can help players learn the maps a bit more.

Casual's (Quick Match) map pool rotates each month. This is done to help maintain a resemblance of freshness when it comes to matchmaking. This is why we suggest new players use the Newcomer playlist to help get acclimated to Siege. That game mode features only three maps, and if memory serves me correctly, they're all comp maps.

The part about letting players choose the map in rank is pretty neat cause it might give siege a clearer view of what maps they actually dislike and why, it'd be nice if devs tried that for a while

Also it's tough yeah it even took me months to get good and that was before newcomers playlist and better matchmaking, just keep playing casual and familiarize every move you make, your teammates' and your enemies', you'll get used to it and eventually you can predict movements, spawns, and even when someone is gonna appear when you spawnpeek. Just never give up dude. Or rather, just go at your own pace, don't play when you're frustrated etc.

Unfortunately, there's a reverse TK option.
I used to be able to TK all of the players in the previous game without any punishment but if I TK more than 1 at the same time, I get suspension.

What does this have to do with anything?

But I didn't know about this actually and it sounds awesome. I am glad you got suspended.
