    Lion OP but Ash is fine?

    Read a tweet today that said league/pro players want Lion nerfed and that he is the most blocked operator by them. What? I know I'm at best a low gold player but how could he be OP in anyway? How could they block him way more than Ash? Keep in mind that I don't watch league or tourny's. Sounds to me like they are a bunch COD run around like chickens with their heads cut off players and don't want to be marked. For me, the most frustrating part of the game is Ash. She's a known bullet sponge and her ability to sprint like a jaguar and stop and insta headshot is absurd and not balanced. But they want Lion nerfed?



    Can anyone explain this one to a scrub like me because I don't get these guys?

    In pro league they mainly play bomb, lions a helpful operator, a lion charge could mean win or loss, he isnt as op as he used to be, ash is a rush and kill operator, which isnt good in proleague

    Would not have guessed that what Ash can do would be useless in any way but I will take your word for it since you obviously watch/play those leagues

    Yeah i watch the streams, but because these guys are like top tier, they can easily kill her. She needs a nerf but because the pros dont complain they dont care

    yeah, lion is absolutely fine as he is. ash on the other hand is absurd. small/broken hitbox, faster than sanic the hedgehog on speed with laser accurate weapons.

    ash needs to be a 2 speed 2 armor

    Ash is not so good cos hes ability is not so strong, zofia is better place right now.

    Lion is op still, hes pain in the *** and bad team can win with lion. Lion doesent have place in siege and they should delete him with finka. We ban him too in every single esl match.

    Ash is easy to counter sure she is strong frag operator and in good hands can be monster but she is not that op in my opinion that people make her atleast in my perspective. Ash is easy to counter with trap operators and you dont wanna let her peak you. I dont have any problems with ash and im not ash main i have played her alot but it was past

    The so called "pro´s" of this game are a special kind.
    In every other game the pro wants to get a well balanced and mostly slow paced game....
    but not in R6.
    They are to blame for the ****ty shotguns and only want to play a better version of cod.
    I hope ready or not will do it better :/

    I don't use her anymore but I would suggest that Ash's hitbox is part of her kit. Having two over sized bottle rockets isn't what I consider a worthwhile gadget.

    I'm no pro but I can say that I haven't felt a great impact in terms of 'gamechanger' from Lion yet. 3,2,1 stand still is basically where its at for us bottom feeders.

    Lion is REALLY overpowered in bomb. Pro League players will mostly play the objective, so they head to the site and plant. The surviving defenders will have to rush to site and defuse the bomb. But once lion is put into play, he turns on his drone and then the defenders either can stand still and watch as the defuser timer ticks down, or continue running and get shot up by an attacker who already knows you're coming. If lion has both of his changes, the attackers win.
