She Went from a Meme to Siege's Scariest Operator

How did the worst operator in Rainbow Six Siege become the most dangerous character in the game?
Finka was, once, irrelevant: a weak, impactless operator that only existed to be memed on.
But when Ubisoft decided to buff Finka, they didn’t know when to stop. And eventually, she couldn't be stopped.

Still remember the video Russian Badger made on her a long time ago, and back then HE was one of the people heralding the LMG, saying and I quote: "They never expect that many bullets to be fired that accurately without stopping to change mags"

If Ubisoft never stopped paying attention to console they would’ve seen this coming. She was everywhere on console for a long time before the buffs. Her lmg was used a lot and the recoil loss when boosted actually benefits everyone on controller. It’s so weird to see people just now realizing how good her lmg is.

When I played T3 competitive back in 2020, there was a Brazilian team in our league that always picked Finka and the casters and other teams thought they were trolling with the pick. But when we played them map 1, we realized their Finka is so busted we had to ban it map 2.

‘Destabilise the meta’ was probably the best way to put the last 6-9 months of siege, and I’m so glad it happened. For too long the attacking composition of ash, zof, 2 hard breachers and 1 soft destruction was getting stale, now in comp we’re seeing the likes of Nokk, Osa, Zero, Ying, Jackal etc find more game time and it’s so refreshing to see. It’s also hilarious how these “experts” in pro league and yt would dismiss LMGs in favour of Assault rifles, yet when the main fraggers got nerfed and people realised how good LMGs had been the entire time, they cried about how ‘it’s taking them so long to address how broken LMG’s are’. Goes to show that 20yr old pro players might not be the most reliable sources of commentary on the state of a game 🤡

@cptcolgenltmajor9246 Жыл бұрын

Same shit is CS GO the sg553 and the Aug were better weapons then their ak47 and m4 counterparts, but because the pro’s never used them players were shit on for using weapons with sights. People always said to just buy nades with that money but after the cod guns were dropped in price by 250$ basically pennies in csgo pro’s picked them up and suddenly their OP. People just wanted their ak/m4/awp meta back

@disinque6961 Жыл бұрын

Ar used to have an ads time thats .1 sec faster than lmg, back then when both type of guns had similar level of recoil, lmgs are better for support role/holding angle, and assault rifles are for fraggers and generally for those at front, if they didn't start nerfing the ar at first the whole lmg meta shit won't even exist, they used to suit different roles but people go for lmg in the last few months because some ar got a ridiculous horizontal recoil and lmgs are still decent

@disinque6961 Жыл бұрын

U even mentioned people realised lmgs are good after main fraggers are nerfed, which means the assault rifle fraggers used to have an advantage over using lmg, so whats ur logic about "pros dont understand how good lmgs are"

@spoofy8867 Жыл бұрын

@@disinque6961 my logic is that LMGs were just as good as AR’s were, it’s just that people preferred AR’s because of things like reload times, the negligible difference in ADS time, the operators using them and that Ash, Zofia, Iana back in the day had more “useful” utility than Finka, Capitao, Gridlock etc. There’s a lot of variables but something that is always consistent is Pro players making remarks about something being good/bad, then sometimes literally overnight will completely contradict their statement because of a extremely slight change, sometimes a change that doesn’t even directly correlate to the argument (ie; Finka sucks, but hold up now her heals are permanent and there’s no change to the recoil patter- holy shit this LMG is broken and needs to be nerfed)

@spoofy8867 Жыл бұрын

@@disinque6961 another example is when Ubi announced that invitational this year would have no crowd because Covid was still a major problem, all these pro players and content creators jumped on Twitter to declare that siege is ‘officially dead’, ‘dead game’, ‘the devs have ruined siege’ etc, and yet 12 months later not only is siege dead, it’s back on the up and up, and we’ve had 2 very successful LAN events…

Sheeeeit when she dropped I was still playing on console with friends and we LOVED finka and I mained her lol I would just call out that I was going to boost and then all of the sudden everyone on our team is shooting 0 recoil guns on console which was an enormous help as long as you knew it was coming. Not calling it out imo is the equivalent of say being Dokebbi and never saying when you are using a call.

I mean, to be fair (I haven't played in a while so bear with me)... Weren't the LMGs the flat out better option on *literally everyone* who had one, even circa Chimera when Finka launched? Fuze, Finka, Maestro later, Zofia, Ying... Heck I think the assault Spetsnaz Recruit got access to the same LMG? They were just better because *suppressive fire*.

The thing with Finka is that most people couldn't use her because of the adrenal surge recoil buff. She was most useful at lower ranks where players still struggled with learning recoil patterns and control, or just didn't compensate for recoil whatsoever. Her change was much needed, but needed sooner than we got it.
