15 Things Only Rainbow Six: Siege Fans Will Understand

10. Complaining About Ash And Jager's Hitboxes

Although all of the operators released so far have been pretty well balanced, a couple of them have become notorious for giving players a leg up in one-on-one fights. Jager and Ash - the latter in particular - have become hated by a good chunk of Siege's community for their ridiculously tiny hitboxes.

Being able to get around any map extremely quickly while appearing to dodge all of your shots like they're Neo from The Matrix (at least, whatever Neo would look like if he was one of Siege's cumbersome characters), allows them to cause total chaos in every match.

Combine that with reliable, fast-firing weapons and these two characters have come to be viewed as downright OP. They can snipe you from a mile off before you even see them coming, while trying to nail a headshot on them is a virtually impossible task under pressure.

The worst part is that it's only just bordering on being broken or a cheat. The hitboxes aren't completely botched, and don't provide much of a worry to pro players, but they're just off enough to give fans maining these characters a small advantage in every firefight.
