Rainbow Six Siege Player Exits Game After 5 Years Due to Frustrating Feature: “Never Going to Play This Game Again”

Rainbow Six Siege continues to be one of the leading FPS (First-Person Shooter) games in 2024, yet it does have its drawbacks. Following the recent launch of the new R6 Siege operation, Reddit user i/Sprinkle247 has chosen to quit the game, citing that the issue of team killing should be addressed. They emphasized that secondary weapons and gadgets often result in unintended harm to teammates, which facilitates griefing.

Overall, u/Sprinkle247 feels that progressing through the ranks in Rainbow Six Siege is practically impossible, even for regular and skilled players. They titled their Reddit post:

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

In a related clip, it’s clear that a griefer was responsible for u/Sprinkle247’s demise in Rainbow Six Siege. After watching the footage, u/ascarin1988 conducted some research and stated:

“Just looked up the griefer on r6 tracker… He’s top 0.1% of most played ranked matches this season (a staggering 251 matches played) and has a 0.06 kd. I feel like this player is solely focused on griefing folks in Siege.”

u/ByRussX expressed that they have moved on from Rainbow Six Siege to a different game altogether, stepping away from the multiplayer genre to evade interactions with “annoying”or “tryhard”players.

Reddit user u/TerpsyGuy highlighted several irritating traits of griefers. He noted that while they jeopardize matches, they also tend to shy away from verbal communications:

“Trolling is frustrating, but the worst part is they are often too scared to even turn on their mics.”

Conversely, u/Sirmac13 praised Rainbow Six Siege, sharing that despite having encountered similar frustrating situations as the original poster, they maintain their love for the game:

“I’ve been playing since the beta. Unfortunately, players with no regard for others try to ruin the experience. I generally ignore them and continue playing, even though it can be annoying. I can’t seem to let go of this game. Good luck to you.”

Finally, u/that-broken-chair shared a familiar scenario, recounting an experience where they were kicked from a game due to failing to execute a clutch.

Is Griefing Common in Rainbow Six Siege?

Griefing appears to be a prevalent issue in Rainbow Six Siege. As stated by the original poster, team-killing and certain abilities that harm teammates facilitate a toxic environment, with motives often remaining unclear.

Numerous players, including u/that-broken-chair, have reported being removed from matches for failing to clutch in critical moments. While some believe that the player base can be troublesome, the existence of team-killing significantly contributes to the problem. If Ubisoft were to eliminate this aspect, it could potentially decrease incidents of griefing. Until that happens, it seems likely that this will continue to be a common complaint among players.
