I love this dude's ramble and getting off topic with random tips and tricks for maps and op that are completely unrelated to the task at hand. They're genuinely helpful
The main thing I love about the buff is that it actually starts the damage on initial contact. I can’t even remember the last time I took damage from his gadget. 😂
Right? The only time I've taken damage from this thing is if I just tank it to push the site or kill someone. Not really an option anymore since if you let it tick over it's like getting shot in the toe
The mines being more visible seems more like a nerf than buff Especially when the gadget is bigger than a thorn trap and a kapkan trap And lets not forget it will have to go on the ground, wich most of the time is white, light brown or light grey
Treat it like a frost trap. How many times has a Frost trap worked on mid stairs if the attacker is focused on looking up? It’ll be harder to shoot when they jump in windows as well. The radius is rather wide compared to the mines actual geometry. You could put it close next to doors similar to a Kapkan trap and it can hit attackers especially in angles where it’s common to wide swing.
Problem is the mines are supposed to go in spaces where you know an enemy will come from, and the invisibility made it great at gathering intel, i dont care bout the whole HUD thing since it actually promotes making people listen, but either way, This kinda just turns lesions traps into another Doorway protector instead of an overall intel gatherer@@mrcuddles2199 Basicaly, a worse kapkan
man, Ubi is really selling out to the gun and gun meta. They must have some data in the background showing the number of players coming over from COD because they are trying everything to appease the "I'm just running through the map without a care in the world traps mean nothing". Gone are the days of this being a tactical shooter.
This game stopped being a tactical shooter in Year 2, if we're gonna be fair. It's more a twitch shooter with tactical elements now, and the tactics keep becoming less and less relevant.
With brava and IQ the reason I believe they took it away because they changed the fact that lesions no longer an electronic gadget, to be fair it is basically just a spring trap which doesn’t take electronics 🤷🏽♂️ with the cloaking feature I believe that was the electrical part so to be fair it’s valid
Personally I think he was pretty good where he was. He had a good gadget, good fragging potential, and could make rotates with the impact nades. I think buffing the gadget will be balanced by making them more visible, but having both impacts and the super shorty might be too much. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost the impacts.
There’s a higher chance he loses the super shorty imo. He had impacts for a good amount of time and the thing that has made him rlly strong is the super shorty. Reverting the change will tone him down
I don't understand why the changes to Lesion. He was ok. I'm not against the changes, but I mean there are so many other operators that need reworks or tweaks first.
Great vid as always i think its a buff for him to not being able to be hacked and that super shorty so nice especialy with the shotgun changes coming as well
I heard stepping on a second gu mine immediately applies the poison tick if you already have one in you. Is that true or am I reading the patch notes wrong?
that's correct if you step on a second gu mine with one already in you, you instantly take 17 damage (12 from the poison reset and 5 from the initial damage)
Love watching your videos and learning new things about the game. I appreciate how you take the time to share analytical data, techniques and tactics. I definitely improved in the game from taking away from your videos 🥳💯👊
I'm a Japanese console player and I have a question. Does it mean that the white circle that appears when Gu is placed reacts when an enemy player's leg or body enters it?
It truly baffles me that people actually consider this nonsense a buff. The only good thing about this is that he gets the super shorty. But his utility is virtually useless now, as you’d have to be brain dead, or blind to walk into his mines.
So I assume you've never gone through a Kapkan trap then? Or a Frost mat? Or hit an Ela mine? They're visible as well. Are they also useless? The damage has gone up by 33% and deals that damage 20% faster, it inflicts at least 5 damage regardless of time. It's a huge buff. How many times have you hit a Gu mine and just removed it straight away with no effects. The way you play Lesion now needs to change, you don't just throw traps all over the map and hope for the best. Play closer to your traps and when one goes off you can apply pressure so the attacker doesn't get the opportunity to remove it.
@@alyttleton how many times does Ela and Kapkan place their traps on a floor in a hallway? Oh yeah. Never. What, we going to start placing Gu mines in corners now? And just praying someone walks into that corner? You’re comparing 2 gadgets that attach to walls and doorframes to a gadget that can only sit on the ground. Furthermore, Grzmots and EDDs are both proximity triggered. You have to actually step on the Gu mine. Terrible comparison. The entire point of lesions utility is that he could place the mines outside site, and at choke points, and use them for intel. Now the only way his Gu mines will be useful is if he places them all directly in site, and hope people don’t see them when pushing.
@@alyttletonBut we already have Kapkan and Frost, if I have to place gu mines under windows for them to work I'm better off picking Frost. Ela and Thorn's gadgets have range to them, they can be hidden and still get triggered.
Lesion buff???? Yeah fckin right. His gu being invisible was the only reason they work. The only time they're gonna work now is maybe when an attacker is rushing to plant bomb or something. They cant be put on walls, and they dont have a radius, they have to be stepped on, and nobody is gonna step on them now. And the icon being gone is a huge nerf, i mean look at fenrir, his gadgets stay on your screen AND tell you what area they are in, AND tell you when they are activated and WHERE, why does lesion gu not work they same way? This is not at all a buff, yall are delusional.
Yeah. Your are so right. Why Fenrir get the intel back, which Lesion lost? To sell him better, right? I hate all the nerfs. Destroying so many good characters. 😢
The Gu mines are a definite nerf, the area of effect is also so small that it's not guaranteed to go off when you hide them on corners or doorways either... the shorty is nice but his gadget is pretty useless imo
Hate to say I completely disagree. You just need to be more inventive with where you're placing Gu mines now. Smack bang in the middle of a stair case isn't going to work anymore. He's right up there in terms of strong defenders at the moment I think.
@@alyttleton Yea fair enough. Feel like I don't get much value from the mines anymore so maybe it's a skill issue ha Great videos, mate. Your Valk tips are quality and she is now a main for me
This is a nerf in Platinum and above, the fact it's no longer visible and you can't see it on your hud makes it harder to swing someone if your Objective Roaming with multple Gus on different angels. Also in higher ranks people have something called "Eyes" and now it's just so easy to notice. Maybe low ranks will love this tho
How is making his gadgets easier to spot a buff? He has to be played like frost now to hide his gadget in order to make people step on them, HOW IS THAT A BUFF? copper creator
excited to see your diamond take on lesions rework, sure you will have the siege community begging for more of your videos after such inspiring comments

We all love bald's man ramble
Haha cheers dude

Yeah definitely. I'm exactly the same

@@mrcuddles2199Shit a lot of players get victimized with Ela and Kapkan’s gadget. The mortality rate from Kapkan is high

Basicaly, a worse kapkan
You can hide it to the right or left of a doorframe and it still goes off when someone walks through the door
@@bakes1324 it still kinda gets rid of the usually very nice versatility of Lesions invisible traps
6:07 why that is is because the electronic part of the gu mine was the cloaking tech, its now fully mechanical, just a needle injector
Very true. Good point.
gonna be interesting to see the spots players come up with now they can be seen

Feels much more like a change of direction rather than a buff.
I liked when Lesion was an intel/zoning operator, rather than another trap-damage op.

talking about IQ..IQ needs a buff, her gadget is useless.
@@Kurikost_It really is man
Personally I think he was pretty good where he was. He had a good gadget, good fragging potential, and could make rotates with the impact nades. I think buffing the gadget will be balanced by making them more visible, but having both impacts and the super shorty might be too much. I wouldn't be surprised if he lost the impacts.
Maybe impact will still stay. Because impact is best counter of RAM's gadget.
@@jbledavlverge True, but imo Lesion might become too good.
Lesion is basically a must pick operator now!
There’s a higher chance he loses the super shorty imo. He had impacts for a good amount of time and the thing that has made him rlly strong is the super shorty. Reverting the change will tone him down
I kinda find the lesion change boring. I liked him being an intel op better than this weird tic damage hybrid thing now
Still will get easy Intel
@@compcumbum1145 Yeah how do you know which trap is being triggered when you don't see the icon anymore?
@@kullinaamayour ears
@@kullinaama just like everyone does, audio
@@kullinaamayou don’t even see the icon anyway… that was like 3 years ago when you could see all of them
I don't understand why the changes to Lesion. He was ok. I'm not against the changes, but I mean there are so many other operators that need reworks or tweaks first.
True sens and blackbeard are so horrible. Idk why they changing frost while blackbears is literally a worse recruit.

Put lesion trap under door frames by shooting the floor with shorty.
Genius idea. I'm using that!
oh man, I'm stoked for this i love playing Lesion!

Yes
@@spoooooooooooooooook really? Thank you for teaching me
He has been my main this season, absolute beast, the longer the round goes on the stronger he becomes IMO, great for solo queue too!
OP, just get back old Lesion.
As a ex-mozzy main the super shorty still rurts...
Me too dude, feels bad seeing it in someone else's hands haha
Bad decision. Destroy good characters only for stupid balancing. I liked mozzi too.
They should give him barb instead of impacts and he should still see an icon when in line of sight tbh
The gu mines literally do the job of a barb why should he have more
Does PC get updates before console? Cuz i still didn't get the update
I haven't died to lesion's gu mines in years, but as of the first day the update came out I died by a gu mine
I don’t know if anybodys said this yet but your kind of the raasclark of siege
Thank you for the tip

Next season I’m slapping that super shorty on lesion
10000000%
So they basically reverted him back to how he sue to be
would agree if his mine was SO BIG like that
Lesion mains gonna have 14 assists per match lmao
Living that Kapkan life
Are they not just recycling content 😭 didnt you take take damage from his traps when he first came out?
Athenio best op
bro can u stop talking so much plz
That's my bad. Silence for the next video 😭

You say that as if the rest of the gadget was completely untouched.
yeah because everyone knows that kapkan, frost, ela, and thorn's gadgets never go off since they aren't invisible @@kullinaama
Anyone emerald+ can spot lesion mines anyway, copper commenter

go on then keyboard champ . show us otherwise pls .
