"Never going to play this game again": Rainbow Six Siege player quits game after 5 years over one "annoying" feature

Rainbow Six Siege remains one of the most popular FPS games in 2024 but it has its shortcomings. Despite the release of the new R6 Siege operation, Redditor i/Sprinkle247 has decided to quit the game. They argued that team killing should be eliminated from the title, pointing out that secondary weapons and gadgets often harm teammates, leading to griefing.

Overall, u/Sprinkle247 believes ranking up in Rainbow Six Siege is nearly impossible, even for consistent and skilled players. They titled their post on Reddit:

"After 5 years of playing Siege, I’ve decided that I’m never going to play this game again, and this is why!"

In the clip, it’s evident that a griefer was responsible for u/Sprinkle247’s death in Rainbow Six Siege. After viewing the clip, u/ascarin1988 did some digging and said:

"Just looked up the griefer on r6 tracker... He's top 0, 1% of most played ranked matches this season (a whopping 251 matches played) and has a 0.06 kd. I feel like this dude is only interested in griefing people on siege for a living."

u/ByRussX revealed that they had moved on from Rainbow Six Siege to another game. They had actually stepped away from the multiplayer genre altogether to avoid "annoying" or "tryhard" players.

Redditor u/TerpsyGuy pointed out that griefers have multiple annoying traits. Not only do they ruin games, but they also fail to communicate verbally with the rest of the team:

"Trolling is annoying but what’s more annoying is they are too scared to even put their mics on."

On the other hand, u/Sirmac13 praised the game, stating that they keep playing it despite having faced similar frustrating experiences as the original poster:

"I've been playing since the beta. Unfortunately, you have these players who have no life in the game and want to make it miserable for you. I generally ignore them and keep playing. Annoyed with the experience but for some reason, I love this game a little too much to fully walk. Good luck to you."

Lastly, u/that-broken-chair shared a relatable story, revealing that they were once kicked out of a game for failing to pull off a clutch.

Is griefing common in Rainbow Six Siege?

Griefing is not uncommon in Rainbow Six Siege. As the OP in the thread mentioned, team-killing and team-harming abilities make it easier for the player to hurt their teammates, and the reasons for this are often unclear.

Many players like u/that-broken-chair report being kicked out for not being able to clutch a situation. Others believe that the player base itself is mischievous. However, the presence of team-killing is what makes all the difference. If Ubisoft were to remove it, it would remove one cause of griefing. Until then, perhaps, it is going to remain a common theme in the complaints of many.
