I think it is mainly to emphasize his role as a protected peeker and not a "I've got this window locked down and y'all can't do shit about it".
This way, if anyone gets the drop on him, he won't just be able to soak up damage while he acquires a target.
It'll be REAL interesting to see how the meta changes after tomorrow's patch. Haven't played in a few weeks myself, been distracted by other games.

Incredible patch. Love all the changes and additions, can't wait to see how the game's meta is affected by this patch because it sounds really exciting!

Claymores seem like a no-brainer, in hindsight, to help protect against roamers and breakout defenders.

Yep, specifically I can think of a situation playing as an attacker on House and jumping up on the balcony at the front of the house with the two windows entrances from the bathroom and the construction room, leaving a claymore at one side and making a ruckus at the other to bait a defender out into the claymore haha

Awesome patch, Ubi stays winning. Really happy Doc can be in my normal rotation now that he can heal teammates.

I've notice recently more defenders breaking out of the buildings and going straight for the kills.

The game that keeps on giving! You can really tell how passionate the rainbow devs truly are about this game. All these changes could've been packaged in a $60 sequel, but instead they keep on adding new things every big update. I really need to buy the season pass at this point. I have pored countless man hours into it lol. Outside of the network hiccups, this is Definitely my favorite MP game this gen.

Some of the smaller text in the patch notes say this patch helps lay the groundwork for future seasons--this game is gonna be supported for at least another year. Get it!

Patch notes are insane. Claymores, impact grenades, twitch changes, DOC changes omg, new attachments, just amazing all around. This is the game that keeps giving, no doubt.

That's a great fucking patch!
Still waiting on that Tachanka buff, though. Worst character in the game by far. I think it'd be cool if they made his helmet really strong akin to what Blackbeard's shield is (was) but massively reduced his vertical vision in accordance to how his helmet looks.
I think that'd be a decent change.

it usually hits all platforms at the same time

Saw the maintenance window pop up. So its possible patch will be here then.

I think his stationary gun should just get an OG 'Blackbeard' shield. Put a ground shield in front and he is essentially invincible from a single angle while completely stationary.

Interesting update. Too bad I just re-subbed to WoW for the first time in 4 years. I'll get back to siege eventually, after Gears and Battlefield.

You do realize they "fixed" the C4 issue by allowing some defenders to have 2! Impact Grenades, right? I think this kills you easier.

Doc and Rook seem like a must have now. Claymores down those with armor plates, kills if they dont.
Also, 60fps streams are great with PS4's 4.00 update

Pretty excited about the new patch. Interested to see how this will change things and it seems like a lot. Claymores impact grenades.
It kinda seems like Thatcher is useless now with Twitch's shock drone being buffed.
Also, I still think I will pick Rook over Doc everytime. He is better but still situational.

Thatcher gains usefulness with the Claymores in my opinion.

How many heals does Doc have post patch?
Amazing support they've shown for the game.
I wanted Blackbeard's shield to be more visible, but I heard the two shields with lower health suggested before, and that seems like it might work too. The problem I have with him is not knowing that it's him peeking, and in a game like Siege that 0.5 seconds of not knowing can mean death.
We'll see how it pans out.

Never understood why people want the C4s out. They are really easy to avoid, even with shields. I actually hate that they took the C4 away from Frost since shields know I don't have one so they get more ballsy when pushing.

I too am surprised at how many people here think Shield operators needed help.
On PC, a lot of the time as soon as you bring that shield down to ADS you get headshotted immediately.
Shields are completely useless on PC
Yep

Yep, which I dont understand why people want the C4 out.
Tried playing this on PS4. God dammit was it painful.

P90 with muzzle break is a goddamn laser now.
3. If you fire and miss you lose that shot, before you didn't. Self heal fucking owns now.

Perhaps you're right. Caveira was a good operator to take it away from, but Im not so sure Smoke was that popular to begin with. I also dont foresee Caveira being too popular with claymores. I'd rather have seen c4 shifted between some operators. Take it away from Valkyrie and give it to someone like Castle or Frost again. Operators like Valkyrie are inherently useful because of her gadget and shotgun, so I dont think she needs nitro cell.
Doc buff is pretty nice, but Rook is still the more important choice IMO. But since they removed Rook's barbed wire, Doc has that advantage.
Of the operators that need a buff, I'd say Castle, Glaz, Tachanka, and Kapkan need some adjustments. I still find Kapkan's traps very obvious. They dont fool anyone in ranked and are just too noticeable at a certain distance. I think they should be less noticeable from a max distance and more noticeable as you get closer. They are still pretty useless on any height except the absolute bottom, making them useless on windows.
I'd like to see Castle get more barricades. 3 is pitiful.
Glaz apparently has lower recoil thanks to the new attachment, but I still find him a huge liability compared to Blackbeard. I dont know how good BB's gun nerf was, but he's pretty much the sniper on most maps with sniper spots.
Tachanka is Tachanka.
I havent seen IQ much since the Pulse nerf, and I havent seen Pulse much either. I hop the Pulse nerf didnt totally kill him.

What are the impact nades for? Instant murder holes?

That's what the GIFs ubi posted lead me to believe, which I think is great.
Total shot in the dark: Any PC players with mics who know what they're doing? I have a couple buddies who play almost every night for a few hours and we're looking for another player or two to fill our team. Our general attitude is that while we very much like winning, we do not get too upset when we lose and we have a pretty good base knowledge of the maps and general do's and don't's of Siege. US/Canada players.
Yeah, basically. Blow a hole in an unreinforced wall. I've seen them used well so far, considering that C4 is too valuble to waste on blowing a hole in a wall.
It's interesting. They gave defenders a weapon that would really benefits attackers, and they have attackers a weapon that defenders would love. That's probably the best way to balance those gadgets.

Its new
Thought as much. Another buff
That's new.
I had some connection problems last night but we crushed a couple teams before that happened.
Has anyone noticed a difference when looking outside the buildings? They were supposed to adjust the lighting in this patch from what they said in the notes.
Get on the siege discord with your group we always have 1-2 groups playing with overflow people looking for groups. Everyone is a regular since the game came out and is chill. We are all high silver/gold rank now iirc.
