    I think the debate is a good thing. To me it shows the op is fairly balanced. I haven’t gotten much playtime on him yet but I can’t see how someone would view Deimos as weak when he has so much intel capabilities to clear site and/or roamers.

      I get the point of him but in my opinion if your all ankering he doesnt have anything because his primary option is ass.
      The only thing he brings is wall hacks wich can be counterd by mute.

      I think it depends on your playing experience. If you get communicative teammates or have a stack, Deimos can go CRAZY with comms, even better than Dokkaebi. But if you're solo queuing and you just don't have a team that's listening or comming, ops like Dokk, Jackal, or maybe Lion are better because you relay your intel to them passively.

    Pox spiting fire. we had this debate in our stack a couple nights ago and i 100% agree with you.
    Deimos is the most balanced op they have released in quite some time. He isnt to op and he isnt too weak. He is a great solo op and is a great teammate op with counters if you are smart.
    Sure he gets wall hacks but i have played matches where my teammate is being tracked and lead deimos to me to get him killed. You can counter him if you actually think, which is what siege was created for.
    if people believe they need other ops for him to be successful, you havent even tried with him. Think out side the box and see what a beast he is.

    • @TheRealFernancoTachanka
      @TheRealFernancoTachanka 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree. I was once playing as Kapkan and there was like a small wall you could climb in to go through. Deimos was hunting me, and I see that wall and I see an opportunity and so I throw a C4 there and get to a nearby stairs and wait.
      I see Deimos coming in, he is shooting at me, I am also shooting while acting like I have no escape. And then he goes through.
      But it's already late, for he has forgotten the first rule of hunters. Always watch where one steps

      I like to play deimos this way, I get into or near sight and pick off a couple people or hold an angle then once it's done to 3 ir four enemy's I push and scan anyone I need like say I'm in a gunfigh ill pop a drone and instantly win it then once I have controll over sight I start popping drones on anyone alive and play aggressive.
      I've also found he's great in 2v2s I have a start with Oregon 2v2s with my friends what I'll do is I'll run around out side making entries on different places and droning them then I sneak into sight from a completely different place then they expect pick off one that dosent see ut coming and then book it back out of sight I then go to a different entrance I already made cause now there distracted cause there teammate is dead I get close to sight pop deimos drone and rush in for the kill

      That is quite the opposite.He is better in any rank wherte you are constantly communicating or controlling the pace.This pace of the game doesn't discriminate by rank.You just need to start taking space and finding out whete everyone is?Which is easier said than done.If your not taking control of the pace of the game he is pretty C tier and gets outclassed pretty easily by lion,dokkabie etc and you will find yourself dieing with a lot of deimos drones not used.

    After seeing PC test server gameplay I expected Deimos to be amazing, but then using him on solo/duo queue xbox plat/em ranked... he just doesnt work well unless you KNOW the map is cleared or you can communicate with teammates to use him to clear the map. On the flip side, the fact that you are constantly at risk of having your position revealed no matter where you've been or done is a good leash for any sort of either oppresive roam operator or dug-in position. Overall i think he is mid, with tradeoffs, which is a good place to be i think

    1 thing that I don't believe was mentioned is that his pistol does have a lot of fall off. This is why some people will struggle in the 1v1.
    If you try to play the long range, the smg will most likely get a lucky headshots before you can down them
    And if you try to play close range, you need to be used to a more snappy, run n gun kind of playstyle which is not for everybody.

    A tip if you use pistols or DMRs a lot on controller: try and switch to using your bumper to fire instead of your triggers! It sounds weird, I know, but I've been doing it for about a month and a half now I think and it's really good for me. Faster fire rate for specifically pistols and DMRs, but it works for other types of guns too. I mention this because Deimos specfically relies on using a pistols so much

    2) Doesnt need to know an ops identity and therefore can counter roamers better
    3) Has better weapons, both the PDW and C7-E outclass the Ak at every angle and he has a secondary shotgun, which can make rotates/vertical angles like demos’ revolver.
    4) His gadget isn't selfish and actually gives intel to your team.
    5) Jackal can use his primary when tracking, in a game like Siege where it only takes one shot to the head to die, I'd rather take the high rate of fire on the PDW than the high damage of the .44.
    I'm sure I could go on but that's all i can think of right now.
    It's annoying because Demos is so cool, I want to like him but I just cant when other ops do his job better than he can.

      After watching, I’m trying to listen and understand your view point but when your hurling insults and a quarter of the player base, its kinda hard to take you seriously.
      Sure Demos is a great operator, if you play the game non stop and its your job to be good at the game. Casual players dont have the time to up their skill level to this point of “point and click” its not as simple as that.
      If your aim is that good, as a player youd be better with a high rof weapon (like the PDW) and dome every op on the map as aposed to double taping body shots.
      With vertical play, again, not everyone knows these maps like the back of their hand, we dont know beam layouts, meaning half our shots go into the steel, startling the gamer and pushing them to move/ headshot you/ throw a C4.

    I think of Deimos and Jackal the same -- they're both `balanced` since they won't drastically affect your winrate, but they're incredibly frustrating to play against, especially for new players. These kind of ops are awful for the health of the game
    What is the counterplay to Deimos for a Silver player?

    I play on a stack that was already running mute on most of our setups. We also don't tend to hard roam. Deimos just doesn't seem to do much against coordinated defenses. Theres just so many better intel operators, hell, drones are a better gadget than death marks.
    Honestly think Deimos is worse than recruit would be because I swear teams running deimos suicide all their drones onto site and end up having less intel overall.
    He'll probably get better over time but so long as you're an orchestrated team, Deimos is a non-factor. Not entirely useless but doesn't really do anything unique or as disruptive as if you're trying to hide offsite alone.
    Edit: Nvm idc anymore. Comment about being "one of the best deimos players" earned a do not recommend channel

  • @Your_Highlord
    @Your_Highlord 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Imo: I think he's good, but very map/comp dependent.
    His gadget is really nice for picking out solo targets, and also helps for catching roamers so it's harder to be flanked.
    However, I definitely don't think he's actually better than other tracking Ops like Lyon or Jackal; Jackal literally gets a precise, constant ping which can allow him to either lay traps to bait it out, or feed Intel to other teammates. And Lyon, while fairly weaker than Jackal by comparison, still has a strong anti-roamer gadget, as well as a solid push tool.
    Deimos only being able to target one Op, on top of it also limiting him to his magnum could be bad if that remaining Op has a strong weapon (BOSG, M14 and most of the auto-shotties) or even if it's someone like Clash where she could kinda just BS the 1v1.
    I think he's fairly balanced, but not S-Tier. If I had to give a fair rank, he's a strong A to A+.

  • @joaobranco3447

    I'm gonna be honest as someone that adapts fast to new operators this season has been hell.
    Like when azami came out I was making one ways on the first day, when thorn came out I was putting it in shelfs and in the bars on the floor and ceiling.
    But this new op it's the first one that I can't find my place with it.
    I love every operator except for deimos, I'm sorry.

  • @Vesiputous
    @Vesiputous 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good but not brokenly op is pretty much my impression. He makes the game bloodthirsty in a nice way, and it's not like everyone has to build their whole game plan around his ability like how it has been with some operators.

  • @dhdd9395

    we need to make a movement to make the devs never change deimos ever. I'm worried they will needlessly nerf it. It's a cool ability with major trade offs and easy counters. We should have a movement that pressures the devs to never change it.

      You know other ops like lion exist right? Add 3 more team mates, jackal, doki, grim, and you're playing a gd nightmare. It isn't fun. The ability doesn't take skill to use. It is, click a button, here's the enemy.

    in my opinion, deimos is actually fair. This is because mute is a complete hard counter as well as vigil could stop himself from being scanned. also, its not onesided because they also have wallhacks on you, and it really just comes down to your aim

    I feel like there's no way Deimos is the "worst op" right now or even close. He's such a fun op and a step in the right direction. We need another op like this since Jackal gets banned so often. I play at a low level in ranked, but it's insane watching him camp below sites with breakable floors and activating the tracker then drop people in 2 shots from below before they can do anything. It's one of the funnest ops we've seen in a while

    His operator caters to competitive and experienced play. Deimos isn’t someone anyone can just use effectively. You need to know how to use the map to your advantage and how to shoot well. In other words you have to be skilled at siege in order to know how to play Deimos. If not you’re just going to get yourself killed and that will end up burdening the team.

  • @Superglitchym
    @Superglitchym 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Id say he’s 6.5/10 because he’s very situational. For instance, the more people you have on your team the more useful he becomes. Otherwise if you’re in a 3v1 Deimos becomes a second Blackbeard.

    @solister__ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I do not think the 44.Vendetta is a beast for one reason: If you don't have great aim and if you can't headshot most of the times, in 99% of gunfights you will have to hit the enemy 3-4 times. The reason being is that the 44.Vendetta does 78 damage to the body up until 10-15m. Most of the gunfights are further than 15m so most of the time you will have to 3 shot them (not to mention the wallbangs). Nontheless Deimos is very good.

  • @kostkacukru1776
    @kostkacukru1776 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Deimos is in my opinion pretty well damn made operator. You can get something out of it when you play solo, you can get even more if you communicate with your team and you can get the max out of it when picked with also correct team picks... His revolver is pratty damn good, but it has low ammo capacity and it benefits only those, who are really great in aim, which is also GOOD and as it should be. He can be countered with some picks, mainly with Mute or Vigil and without droning or without game sense, you will just hunt one person and die on other... to sum it up, he is pretty well good, but for fucking sake, how I hate people saying, that he needs nerf and even more it tilts me, when people say that his revolver needs it... Like, revolver is basically his main weapon and in your ability, you cannot have anything else so obviously it must be good and with ROOK, Wamai and many other defenders having ACOG, I still think it is perfectly fine op, at least for me, I don't even feel oppresed somehow by playing against it, I also already won many 1v1 with them, so yea. For now, great patch so far, let's see what will come later.

  • @Trichotome
    @Trichotome 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As many people have already pointed out, the fact that Deimos' strength is being debated is in my humble opinion a sign that we balanced him well. He's meant to be a challenging operator that takes communication, strategy, and aggression to use effectively. In the right hands, he's someone who can dictate the pace of a match. However, we also fully expected that some people wouldn't mesh with that, or might not figure him out immediately. He's not necessarily for everyone, but that's okay.
    In that respect, I think you've actually managed to hit the nail on the head of the ideal for how to play Deimos.
