Sorry today's video was a few minutes late, I accidentally set it to 11AM PST while I was on vacation and didn't notice till it was too late! I am back from vacation, and on stream rn: twitch.tv/varsitygaming
@@itsjustxuan Seems you haven't played long enough. Roaming bigboy is nice but when it comes to going back to sight it's a little harder but if your Varsity he could squeeze the pimple on his chin and it would headshot kali from outside.
@@SquishyBauBau hey, thats nearly 2 years or more of playing the game for sure, they aren't new to the game. I've been playing for over a year, and I just hit a thousand hours a couple of weeks ago. I know a lot already and for sure they will be better with game knowledge than me.
I was a rook main for a long time. A simple gadget that helps everyone set it and forget it. You can anchor or you can drop your gadget and run to a spawnpeak
It's good for spawnpeeks and other dumb strats, if you die, you've already helped your team with the armour. If they choose not to wait for armour, then It's their fault if they die and would have survived with it.
@@ballsackfart right? Nobody has ever said he’s bad Even has a 2X scope on the MP, gives everyone extra health how (was still good before) and just slaps in general
I didn't even know about Kixstar. Man what a terrible tragedy, i stopped playing seige few years ago but still watched pro league and streams like varsity. Kixstar was definitely the highlight of this community. Will miss you✌ Edit: i request silence under this comment in honor of the departed
I stoped playing Siege a couple years ago, but in my heart i always will be a Rook main. In the beginning part of why i played him was because i got Black Ice for the MP5 in one of my first couple dozen packs, but as i played him more i really grew to like playing as him.
Also good for newer players, so they instantly know what rook armor exactly does when they pick it up for the first time and how much differece the benefits give. Before, you would have to consult the wiki as beginners to know the exact function of the armor otherr than the common sense of it gives you "damage reduction". Which also means players should be more inclined to pick up the armor now, seeing the exact benefits thru bonus hp instead of just looking at the blue armor symbol.
i kinda always defaulted to rook on defense. he's a simple operator(same reason I like frost and kapkan really), only has two jobs, that you can't really mess up: 1. drop your armor pack 2. go secure hatches where necessary. After that, your work is done and can do whatever you like. If you decide to roam, just try to get at least one kill before dying. I know, my standards are low.
At the time of this post, you have effectively helped keep me out of jail. Thank you for providing excellent content and if it wasn’t for this video, I might have gotten into a physical altercation with my brother that would’ve definitely lead to me being taken to jail. So thank you for providing me with the escape from poor decision making
Rook is generally atleast on my opinion one if the more useful ops, hrs good on every map and ever site, his guns are pretty solid, he can open rotates and even if he eats shit 5 seconds into the round his gadget is simple, passive and helps everyone so long as they pick it up so it's useful if he lives or dies There are better options to bring sometimes, but you should never get complaints bringing the beefuest French buffet boy
The reason he’s slept on is because it’s a game with one shot headshots and it’s a set it and forget it gadget. No one thinks about the plates. Of course the higher in rank you go the less useful he is and there are things that people would rather bring. He’s also better on console for the simple fact it’s a bit harder to get headshots consistently On top of the plates he has rotates, a couple great guns and 3 armor for the anchor along with plenty of time to reinforce I will argue that the armor changes nerfed rook and doc though.
When I first saw Varsity’s YT a year ago I didn’t like watching him cause he was semi monotone. Now I watch every video he uploads. Love your vids man.
In my opinion the p90 is vastly under-appreciated. High rate of fire with minimal recoil, with a 1.5x scope on rook. I know the mp5 is probably objectively better but it’s hard to deny the value of 51 bullets per clip
Honestly i just use rook to have that sweet sweet confident boost, im too scared to face an enemy without a stab in the back (i main cav) so using rook really helps me get over that fear
Idk I like some not all of this seasons changes but if anything Im really mad about this season is headshot registers. Especially this season from memory I lasered 10-15's heads where I lost the battle and their health didnt even get touched. Love Rook btws my friend uses him to spawnpeek and I play Thunderbird so he can heal if they hit him
I think I've been in a game with the RIP.KIXSTAr guy, he was on the enemy team, killed my teammate and my teammate just says "Kix is dead" and then proceeded to go 2-8 throw the rest of the game and be toxic, very glad I muted, blocked and reported my teammate immediately
No shit rook isn’t useless He is very powerfull by my standards I mostly play operaters that are still worth something after death Like kapkan, jäger, and rook Also what the castle was doing the first round is called a distraction He opened the hatch for an escape route
Rook is the only defend operater that has access to the 2.0 scope on his mp5. vigal has the 2.5 but that's only on his shooty and the other defend operaters that has the 2.0 only have it on thier shooty it makes no sense all the attackers have access to all the good scopes idky
Tbf it’s just points, they never had a lot of impact in the game, but hopefully they fix it at some point. It’s just that they slapped the down = kill mechanic without testing the rest of their system.

Pos
bruh
absolutely shocking from you uploading a video a few minutes late
When you learn the art of the Roaming Fatman, you'll truly begin to understand how great Rook is. No one expects the roaming fatman. No one.
Same. I roam with The Lord, too.
Yeah, Doc and Rook are great roamers
At least from my 1.5k hours so far, I can say with somewhat confidence that roaming rook is a good surprise more often than not
@@itsjustxuan Seems you haven't played long enough. Roaming bigboy is nice but when it comes to going back to sight it's a little harder but if your Varsity he could squeeze the pimple on his chin and it would headshot kali from outside.

You mean "Set it and your teammates forget it." Right? Damn roamers running off to the other side of the map and never helping set up...

I have his taped out uniform and headgear, i play him only cause i have them both
That's literally me with rook😊
I’ve had many times where an enemy survived a 1v1 with me because they had 12 health left from rook armor. He really does matter if you miss the head
Rook is technically one of the best operator's based of his win percentage
Well he gives the whole team health you actually have a chance if you don’t shoot first so if you loose with rook you’re bad bad
@@ballsackfart well ofc headshots but yeah all those times u end a gunfight with less than 30 hp rook just saved u
Ubisoft is reading everything you say right now
im assuming youre talking about the chart, sadly it fell down to 1%. he's still good tho
@@edgarallanpoe209 1% loss is good, that means Ubi won’t nerf him for some dumb reason
Finally a human that recognizes rooks usefulness :')
Nah his the first operator that i have used and been using he’s really is underrated
@@brianvillarreal9341 I don’t think he’s ever been underrated because every game I played has always had him or doc for heath, or a thunder bird
@@ballsackfart right? Nobody has ever said he’s bad
Even has a 2X scope on the MP, gives everyone extra health how (was still good before) and just slaps in general
rook has been one of my steady mains since year 1. I've always had a soft spot for him.
Ehem.....a human?
This implies you are not human or know siege players who aren't human
i love varsitys anxiety when fans approach him lol
I didn't even know about Kixstar. Man what a terrible tragedy, i stopped playing seige few years ago but still watched pro league and streams like varsity. Kixstar was definitely the highlight of this community. Will miss you✌

What happened too him?
@@unclepatrt pretty sure he died in a car crash
@@OnlyTakingBuckets damn dude rest in peace

Ever since the health rework, I've been using Rook a lot more than I used to.
Now he's a lot more useful than he was before.

I’d be okay with those names, as long as they aren’t toxic
yea one of them is RIP.Kixstar. I think that's out of respect, hopefully
Tbh I think the names fine because it’s not saying anything bad, he is just saying to Rest In Peace
@@Skrinzz the guy sounded nice
Random Hyperscape talk at the start and I'm all for it
I was once a rook main. Than they defiled me by taking my acog

What.
Que
When I first started playing siege my mate recommended Rook so I can learn the gunplay and such.
Yep easy op, put down your armor and do whatever you want even if you don’t use your impacts lol
Rook is generally atleast on my opinion one if the more useful ops, hrs good on every map and ever site, his guns are pretty solid, he can open rotates and even if he eats shit 5 seconds into the round his gadget is simple, passive and helps everyone so long as they pick it up so it's useful if he lives or dies

Of course the higher in rank you go the less useful he is and there are things that people would rather bring.
He’s also better on console for the simple fact it’s a bit harder to get headshots consistently
On top of the plates he has rotates, a couple great guns and 3 armor for the anchor along with plenty of time to reinforce
I will argue that the armor changes nerfed rook and doc though.
i think his heart was in the right place but it might come off as insensitive
Rook mains stepping out from the shadows : 🥸 you called?
“I keep trying to grab my water…it’s gone” 😂😂
Rook been good since year 1
he been good since year -69
I prefer Rook over Doc myself because he prevents me from being selfish and I don't trust myself to always live long into the round.
I think the dude's name was in good heart. I get how it could be seen as insensitive or not genuine but the guy seemed like a nice person
Didnt expect someone to still make a vid about the big boy
Dude, Rook is the only operator who can use his brain and bring a balistic vest on the field ....
10:49 that scream lol
Ubisoft :
Birdman hand rub
When I first saw Varsity’s YT a year ago I didn’t like watching him cause he was semi monotone. Now I watch every video he uploads. Love your vids man.
hyperscape was only relevant in the first two weeks through the twitch event but even then it wasn't fun to play
I don't think anyone has ever said Rook is useless
Whoa I’m a huge fan varsity!!
Varsity: 😐
In my opinion the p90 is vastly under-appreciated. High rate of fire with minimal recoil, with a 1.5x scope on rook. I know the mp5 is probably objectively better but it’s hard to deny the value of 51 bullets per clip
People are seriously sleeping on running a rook and thunderbird together.
Also Thunderbird + Oryx
Varsity when a fan says hey or they like ur content or anything in game chat just say thanks just be nice and generous it's all most of them want
You know what will be a good feature? Is if every operator carry less mags BUT you have the feature to pick up someone else’s gun and ammo and gadget.
I waited so long for someone to see
rook is just great in any fill stack. you got everything filled? bring a rook. site setup, 2x no recoil gun, and more health? he's high B or low A
Shut up or they nerf him
@@mukundvashisht6226 💀
And Good for Rotations
I would say high B, I personally couldn't put him in A
Agreed
Rook is very useful for instance at 3:08 if you didn’t have rook armor you would have died.
And around 10 minutes when the last remaining teammate had like 10 hp too.
Nah he wouldn't've, he would've had 4 HP
@@-miggy close enough
I have been a Rook main since Y4S4. Great.
16:04 THE REINFORCEMENT FELL ON THE FLOOR
From what I can tell that guys name was in good taste... he didn't do anything toxic or make fun of it
Why aren’t you running the kix charm, varsity?
Wht would he take off his charm
It was before him taking a vacation plus charm wasn't on his inventory by the time he recorded this video
Never believed he was, Rook main for about 4 months now. But on console
My utility is underwhelming, spawnpeeks are not.
-Rook
Rook is so good man, mp5 with 2x is nuts and nearly 150 hp
This is legit like the 6th video he made about rook. The same rook thumbnail. 😂
Honestly i just use rook to have that sweet sweet confident boost, im too scared to face an enemy without a stab in the back (i main cav) so using rook really helps me get over that fear
I have recently began maining rook, I got a 3 or 4 kill flank at some point, I don’t remember the exact number
Purely debatable let’s not even lie to ourselves
Has castle/kapkan update happened yet? Haven't played in a while
Yes
Rook is a mini-healer. A nurse, if you will
varsity you should do a rainbow six siege tier list of all the ops
How is the name off putting?? Like yeah it was recent, but he obviously loves Kixstar. I name one of stream after him.. why can’t he change his name.
VG are CC and Bagel with you on the vacation.
the rooks main ability is having the 2.0x scope
Finally fullgame (no konsol) video again,
Nobody ever claimed Rook was useless
Idk I like some not all of this seasons changes but if anything Im really mad about this season is headshot registers. Especially this season from memory I lasered 10-15's heads where I lost the battle and their health didnt even get touched. Love Rook btws my friend uses him to spawnpeek and I play Thunderbird so he can heal if they hit him
From the big update rook gives you HP, before it was good too for blocking some damage.
It’s still the same they just added where you can actually see the health now
Wtfffff i got the kix news from this video I feel so sick man he was such a legend
Rook is my defensive main and has been since a lil before vigils gun was changed. That title hurt.
I think I've been in a game with the RIP.KIXSTAr guy, he was on the enemy team, killed my teammate and my teammate just says "Kix is dead" and then proceeded to go 2-8 throw the rest of the game and be toxic, very glad I muted, blocked and reported my teammate immediately
idk man, is really wishing someone to rest in peace too soon?
What's wrong with the kixstar dude? I don't see anything wrong with his name?
What was so bad about that guys name at the start
wait...
people thought rook was useless?
Ash/Jager mains
@@arashdegreat ash mains the by far the most useless
Wait what did they do to Hyperscape that fucked it up so badly
The right answer is nothing
@@TheThirdWorldCitizen Doesn't seem like it
@@analias1559 It is, they didn't do anything so it died
@@TheThirdWorldCitizen Ohhh thats how you meant it. I get ya
I’m a rook main because I have black ice but also because I love to not have to worry about putting gadgets in the wrong place
Rook is the best Imo, I've been using him since 2017
i thought that rip was a meme damn
Battlefield looks like one of those games I play for a week and get bored of it.
I did, and then returned to siege again
@@whoamI-tk3qz its that bad?
@@BigW541 no not at all. Its actually a ton of fine for a while. Like you know a month. Then it will get quite boring
Mute only clutched the 3rd round cuz of the rook life buff. it's crazy thinkin about it.
Did any one notice that when varsity killed the twitch that he didn’t get the +10 Carrier denied points?
paper plates turn into hard plastic?
Rookie gota cookie.
I've been telling my friends that rook is good for ever
what was wrong with that guys username? it said rest in piece kixstar right?
Me viewing this vid right when I picked rook he is my first elite so I really like him
What's your brightness settings
No shit rook isn’t useless
He is very powerfull by my standards
I mostly play operaters that are still worth something after death
Like kapkan, jäger, and rook
Also what the castle was doing the first round is called a distraction
He opened the hatch for an escape route
the reason you aren't getting amazing results is because you keep using the mp5 just try the p90.
P90 with suppressor + blue attachment skin and VG charm: 🔥
Kix was supposed to cast my friends first comp game… rip…
Rook's a beast!!
Is it me or Did he use the Corner Right Aspect ratio and a 90 fov, cuss it seems like he did
pls learn spelling
I’m level 72 on one account and level 58 on my old account and I’ve only gotten black ice for the P90
Rook is the only defend operater that has access to the 2.0 scope on his mp5. vigal has the 2.5 but that's only on his shooty and the other defend operaters that has the 2.0 only have it on thier shooty it makes no sense all the attackers have access to all the good scopes idky
Maaan hyperscape was so fun and it died because they refused to add SBMM and catered only to console players
hyperscape is a fun game but with apex being apex when it came out it just didnt stand a chance
Does the Boi VarsityGaming Respond.
Rook is a cutie :)
Who ever said he is useless. They are absolutely wrong
14:40 Since the new season, I get a lot of assists stolen by the game.
Tbf it’s just points, they never had a lot of impact in the game, but hopefully they fix it at some point. It’s just that they slapped the down = kill mechanic without testing the rest of their system.
what's YOUR SENS??
I don't rly get the problem with his name he wants to honor a member and content creator of the community
But you know some people in this game are bunch of trolls doing everything for gaining attention
My bad but who tf is kixstar?
go rook more, he helps out the team
What’s wrong with his name I’m confused?
He is
You think his name is bad I had 2 people change their names to kixstars car and kixstars crash
Rook is my main. Always when I play on defense
