Ying from Rainbow Six: Siege is no longer the old one. While she was considered too weak in the R6 meta for a long time, an April 20 patch has now given her a decent buff. Many players and Youtubers are now of the opinion that this improvement is far too strong.
Who is ying The attacker from Rainbow Six: Siege has an LMG or shotgun as her main weapon, as well as skills designed to blind the defenders with special grenades.
What was buffed? For one thing, Ying's light machine gun now deals more damage, instead of 43 it now deals 46 damage per hit. In addition, she now has four instead of three stun grenades with her and the tactical gadgets have replaced the Claymore mine with a smoke grenade.
What does this mean for gameplay? With the additional stun grenade, Ying can now defend the defenders even better. Your LMG has recently become a critical track of death, and the smoke grenade ensures that Ying in R6: Siege can cover entire areas to prepare for an attack.

This is what players say about the new ying
The general tenor on Reddit is that Ubisoft meant too well for Ying with the latest buff. While Ying fans are obviously happy about the innovations, many fear that they unfair impact on Rainbow Six's meta
So a user notes sarcastically that he »loves half of the match a white screen" to have. While thread creator misty2669 expresses her love for the buffed with a drawing, a commentator underneath replies very dryly: "But defenders hate her".
Others want to take the first opportunity to Lock Ying in matches. So here it becomes clear that the operator's buff is quite controversial.
Numerous Youtubers have already treated Ying in Rainbow Six: Siege in videos and using the stun grenades entire opposing teams single-handedly eliminated. Of course, this always presupposes that you can play so well at all, but it definitely shows the potential of the new Ying.
The Youtuber Matimi0, for example, has done a great job with Ying:
Particularly interesting with the gameplay video: At minute 01:40, Matimi0 takes the opposite position and plays against a ying operator in the opposing team. So here you can see what the effects of Ming look like if you are one of their opponents. And here, too, it shows that superior gameplay can also beat a potentially overwhelming operator.
Whether Ubisoft at least weakens the buff for Ying in Rainbow Six: wins in one of the next patches remains to be seen. If the topic continues to cause discussions among the fans and with great YouTube fans for a long time, that is at least conceivable. We have asked Ubisoft and will update this message if we get an answer.
