Not particularly surprising considering how impactful Melusi is on the defensive end. Beside Melusi “stealing” Echo’s ban votes, he has also been slightly nerfed in the Y5S2 patch.Īnd took the 2nd spot by storm, with a ban rate of 61%. As a result, Echo “lost” his 2nd most banned defender spot in favor of Melusi, and is now the third most banned defender in Rainbow Six Siege. The decline of Echo bans is significant – a whopping 27%. We suspect that the reason for such a drop in Mira’s ban rate is the introduction of Melusi. Mira did not go through any major changes, besides the addition of Proximity alarm as her universal gadget. What’s crazy is that even despite such a decrease, she still remains the most banned defender with 64% of bans. As a result, their win delta might vary heavily between seasons. However, just like in the case of Blitz, both Frost and Kapkan are niche picks. Their presence rate remained similar and they did not get any nerfs since Y5S1.

There’s no specific reason for such a drastic change to both operators win delta. On top of the new defender being added to Rainbow Six Siege roster, Mozzie has also lost his secondary shotgun, which surely had an impact on his presence rate in the game.īoth operators’ win delta decreased by ~3% & 2% respectively. We expected the addition of Melusi to impact mainly Lesion players since she is the closest alternative to the pre-nerf Lesion. Instead, Melusi took the spot of Mozzie on the chart. Mozzie has seen a drop in the presence rate of huge ~25%. MOZZIE PRESENCE RATE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.Jager hasn’t been impacted by patches since Y5S1 so his presence rate remaining the same is not surprising, at all. Nothing really ever changes about that aspect of Rainbow Six Siege. Jager is still a 90% pick, with a potentially slight increase in his pick rate versus Y5S1 data.
