The Rainbow 6 Siege programmer squad published a web log post - near the finish of Year half-dozen Season 1 - showing information on the popularity and win delta of all characters in the game, and on the superlative 10 almost banned operators by side.

  • Presence is the choice rate of an operator when not banned.

Blackbeard

Some players consider Blackbeard a potent pick, while for others he is quite useless. I believe he is excellent when deployed in places where he can brand a practiced employ of his Rifle-Shield.

Beware about your shield's health pool as information technology can be destroyed quickly by weapons with a loftier impairment or rate of fire. Nevertheless, information technology is ofttimes enough to take a peek and score a kill.

Of course, his shield is countered too by explosives and flankers.

Unfortunately for Blackbeard's players, Ubisoft nerfed drastically the HP of Rifle Shield, which negatively impacted his survivability and lowered his KD ratio.

Echo

Echo is a truly troublesome pick considering he has 2 invisible drones at his disposal. If you couldn't ban him, and you lot are facing a smart Repeat player, there are merely two feasible counters:

  • IQ is the most constructive option because her unique gadget Red Mk Three Spectre can detect whatever electronic device, so she tin can locate Echo's Yokai drones and destroy them with a suppressed pistol.

  • Alternatively, disable the drone with Thatcher's EMP grenade, and then destroy it. (the drone volition also drib to the basis if it was attached to the ceiling)

At lower ranks, Echo doesn't cause many issues as players don't know how to make a proficient use of his drones, they place them in poor spots and barely collaborate with them, and usually they don't even alert the team about the enemy's movements.

Note: later on all the adjustments, Repeat is no longer a large threat.

Kapkan, Frost, and Ela

Operators with trap gadgets such as Kapkan, Frost, and Ela accept a loftier win delta considering their pick rate is low: nearly players do not expect a sudden Welcome Mat or Entry Denial Device. After being killed, they are enlightened of their presence, and then the traps rarely piece of work again during the same friction match.

They can be used every bit effective surprise picks in a circular or two, but y'all should not corruption or overestimate them as there are meliorate and more reliable characters in the game.

2 Jackal 53%

4 Blackbeard 14%
5 No Ban 7%
vi Maverick vi%
seven Flores v%
8 Ace 5%
ix Nomad 5%
10 Hibana/Ash 1%

Thatcher

Thatcher has a high ban rate because of his EMP Grenade: most defenders' gadgets run on electronics, and Rainbow Six Siege revolves around setting upwardly defenses and breaking them down.

Currently, the meta is very electronic based, and there are not many great alternatives to Thatcher. This might be considered a game design flaw, or perchance we simply need more set on operators with a similar role.

Jackal

Jackal difficult counters solo roamers. The simply operator able to bargain with him is Caveira thanks to her power Silent Step (it negates 3D pings from Jackal's tracking).

More often than not, you should exploit his own ability to trap him: if you lot are tracked, coordinate with your team and act as a allurement, so you volition exist able to catch him off guard and impale him.

Montagne

Contrary to popular belief, Montagne is not invulnerable when his shield "Le Roc" is extended.

  • Smoke's gas grenade is i of the all-time counters as Montagne must escape to non die.

  • Similarly, likewise Lesion's GU inflicts impairment over time. Montagne won't be able to camp a corner of the bombsite because he volition exist forced to retreat, pull down his shield, and remove the mine.

  • Montagne can be trapped past Frost's Welcome Mat, and Bandit'southward Daze Wires volition electrify him.

  • Extendable Shield protects him from explosions and even C4 charges, just the explosives tin still be thrown over the shield, injuring him from backside.

    • Montagne must face the C4 when it explodes, then yous may have the chance to shoot him while uncovered.

  • Oryx's Remah Dash is a hard counter because it knocks Montagne downward even if his shield is extended.

  • Finally, blasts such every bit Ela's Grzmot Mines and Echo'south ultrasonic outburst can disorient Montagne, who may retract the shield and get vulnerable for a few seconds.

Most banned defence operators

# Operator Ban Rate
1 Mira 71%
2 Melusi 36%
3 Valkyrie 29%
4 Kaid 24%
5 Clash 19%
6 Echo 8%
7 No Ban half-dozen%

Mira

Mira is the most banned defence operator in Rainbow Six Siege because of the vision and position advantage she grants to the team with her gadget Black Mirror. Luckily, there are several means to deal with her:

  • Twitch's Shock Drone is a difficult counter if you tin enter the room unspotted (which is not like shooting fish in a barrel to achieve every bit her drones are loud and bulky) and destroy Black Mirrors' gas canisters.

  • Thermite and Hibana's explosives can destroy Black Mirror, but they must be very careful when placing them to avoid a premature death.

  • Operators with stun or smoke grenades can prevent vision for a short menses of time, giving your team the opportunity to move elsewhere or destroy the wall (planting explosives).

  • Bohemian's Breaching Torch tin can interruption the mirror by destroying the 4 locks. He can likewise create a small hole below the canister, and shoot it. Annotation: using the torch on the window itself does nothing.

Melusi

I believe that Melusi requires an immediate nerf to her gadget "Banshee Sonic Defense".

It is a bulletproof device (it can merely be destroyed by explosives or melee attacks) that emits a dissonance if there is an attacker nearby, in a 4 meters radius. In one case they are in a two meters radius, the Banshee will also ho-hum them downwardly by 50%.

This gives a huge advantage to the defenders as in each map there are several splendid and safe spots, and Melusi can place iii devices per round.

Clash

Disharmonism proves that a defence operator with a shield is too powerful. I don't think Ubisoft will release more shield-based defenders after all the residuum problems she caused.

Oversupply Command Electro (CCE) Shield covers her front end-side and can electrify the opponents, damaging and slowing them. Thatcher's EMP Grenades disable the taser outcome.

  • When Clash is escorted past another defender, it is best to ignore her and focus on her ally.

  • If she is alone, charging is the best option. She is not as defensive as Montagne, and her shield can exist knocked back with a melee strike, so you will be able to shoot at her lower half.

    • Concussion blasts such as Zofia's concussion shot and Nomad's Airjab grenade work as well.

Notation: later all the adjustments, now Disharmonism is troublesome but at lower ranks.
