Similarly, also Lesion’s GU inflicts damage over time. Smoke’s gas grenade is one of the best counters as Montagne must escape to not die. MontagneĬontrary to popular belief, Montagne is not invulnerable when his shield “Le Roc” is extended. Generally, you should exploit his own ability to trap him: if you are tracked, coordinate with your team and act as a bait, so you will be able to catch him off guard and kill him. The only operator able to deal with him is Caveira thanks to her ability Silent Step (it negates 3D pings from Jackal’s tracking). This might be considered a game design flaw, or perhaps we simply need more attack operators with a similar role. Thatcher has a high ban rate because of his EMP Grenade: most defenders’ gadgets run on electronics, and Rainbow Six Siege revolves around setting up defenses and breaking them down.Ĭurrently, the meta is very electronic based, and there are not many great alternatives to Thatcher. They can be used as effective surprise picks in a round or two, but you should not abuse or overestimate them as there are better and more reliable characters in the game. After being killed, they are aware of their presence, so the traps rarely work again during the same match. Operators with trap gadgets such as Kapkan, Frost, and Ela have a high win delta because their pick rate is low: most players do not expect a sudden Welcome Mat or Entry Denial Device. Note: after all the adjustments, Echo is no longer a big threat. (the drone will also drop to the ground if it was attached to the ceiling)Īt lower ranks, Echo doesn’t cause many problems as players don’t know how to make a good use of his drones, they place them in poor spots and barely interact with them, and usually they don’t even alert the team about the enemy’s movements. IQ is the most effective option because her unique gadget RED Mk III Spectre can detect any electronic device, so she can locate Echo’s Yokai drones and destroy them with a suppressed pistol.Īlternatively, disable the drone with Thatcher’s EMP grenade, and then destroy it.
If you couldn’t ban him, and you are facing a smart Echo player, there are only two viable counters: Echo is a truly troublesome pick because he has two invisible drones at his disposal.
