'Rainbow Six Siege' Teamkilling Now Qualifies for Insta-ban

4.2
The team over at Ubisoft are starting to roll out the features promised earlier this year to cut down cheating and toxic behavior with their online tactical game, Rainbow Six Siege. Now they are making good on that progress as Y3S3.1 patch goes live and specifically targets teammates that go after their own.

This patch is the first since Year 3 kicked off with Operation Grim Sky and it's not just kicking ass and taking names, it's bringing down the hammer for those that seek to make the game less enjoyable for all.

According to Ubisoft's latest blog entry, "The team killing penalty for a first offense will be adjusted from a kick to a 30 minute ban. Initially, if a player was team killed in Casual, the offender was kicked from the match. The same situation in Ranked would result in a kick as well, but also triggered an abandon penalty. This was confusing because it seemed as if the team killing punishment was different between Ranked vs Casual."

To make it a little easier to understand, they also included a full breakdown:

First offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 30 minutes
Second offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 1 hour
Third offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 2 hours.
Fourth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 24 hours.
Fifth offense: Banned from Matchmaking for 7 days.


This comes a week after Treyarch mentioned they were taking the necessary steps to avert teamkilling in their upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 'Blackout' mode. With more and more developers stepping up to the plate to take responsibility for their online titles, the gaming community is slowly but surely becoming more about the games and less about toxicity.

This is wonderful, the team killing is ridiculous and I'm glad they're finally going to be punished for it.

CraigPosted:

Bit harsh, but for repeat offences i can see why they'd do this.

RyanPosted:

i dont think you will get insta banned, they are probably just monitoring accounts with multiple reports

Wizard My own view on it I think it's a good thing that they're doing but if it's on accident multiple times you shouldn't get banned for that,

Lets say if someone just wanted to get killed by their team mates to get them banned then the person trying to get others banned should be banned.


Ye completely agree with you on this because it can be done accidentally

People shouldn't be team killing in the first place
I do on accident rather often. If you aren't in a party with your team you very often get one guy who just decides to peak a corner you're running and then pop, tk headshot:/

With this level of punishment for tks they might as well just turn off friendly fire. I can think of tons of different scenarios where accidental team kills could happen


You won't get banned right off the bat. This system is for players that intentionally team kill, meaning you kill your teammates atleast 2-4 times and it'll kick you and you'll receive your first offense. When has killing one person kicked you out, it happens that people walk in front of your line of sight, it's the same system but with longer ban times now.


Yeah but if you team kill on accident in the same game then you can't help that. If you have that one guy in your lobby that just runs into your crossfire then you can't help it. Now that people will know this is a thing they will probably do it to get people banned for their own entertainment

Yeah when people are just walking into your crossfire while you're shooting I guess you can't help it at all but then they might not even ban you for that. I'm guessing if it's done on purpose then they'll ban

GroguPosted:

Anhur That's not good. Unless this is implemented in quick play, this is going to ruin a lot of games, imagine accidentally killing your teammate while breaching. To be fair, i don't accidentally kill teammates that often, maybe a stray bullet off of a quick reaction but not a full blown kill.

We'll see, if they make teammates bullets weaker to teammates maybe, but if i accidentally headshot a teammate one off my diamond game, id flip.


You see if you accidentally do it then I guess they wont ban you for it but if you purposely kill them if they watched the footage then they will ban for it

GroguPosted:

Mike What if its a "accident" yikes


I reckon they would watch the footage and if it's done on purpose then they will ban but I don't know

Well that makes more sense. I was under the assumption that 1 TK meant 30 min ban lol. I guess they could have worded if better.
