He is probably the Indian operator for next season but the original poster said his shoes and mask are being changed so he will look different
That's a bummer. I can bet that their problem is elo/ladder anxiety and the pressure that comes from deranking and wanting to be a certain rank. Unfortunately the only cure to that is to bite the bullet and just play a bunch of ranked until you don't care about that anymore. Personally I think Unranked being added to the game is one of the best things that's ever happened to it, because you can get the advantages of the ranked ruleset without the ELO worry, but you say they also don't want to play that? It might be that these guys just like complaining and having a scapegoat for stuff, and being in control like in ranked (pick/bans, site locations, etc) will just take away excuses.
I've exclusively been a casual player in my time with Siege up til the unranked playlist hit, so I might've caught the bug. It's refreshing that round times are shorter, but also a bit of an adjustment I need to make to my playstyle -- no more time to dillydally. Being Bomb only also helps with learning defense objectives. Although what I think I like most is that it helps alleviate the annoying load times in casual caused by drop in drop out, where someone will drop in a round, another will come in, and it'll take them forever to load in on the new round.
That said
I think his suggestion to have the ban phase happen after first round to get an idea of what the team comps are gonna be and have it refresh when roles swap sounds way better and more fitting to what pick and ban should do. From my scrub perspective though I don't think the way the game plays for the general populace is conducive to a pick and ban system and that it wastes time more than anything.
That said
I do dislike the pick/ban aspect for this reason. I feel like Ubi put it in ranked to get stats on which characters the community finds to be a problem only to have like a near 100% ban rate on Jackal, who can be annoying but isn't a big deal, and Clash who barely gets played anyway.

I voted no. The unanimous vote requirement is coming in a future patch and is only on the Test Server at the moment. It's a good thing it's coming, but that sucked.
So you're saying even though you voted no the game surrendered? This is a bug?
Yes that's what happened because that's the system. Currently, your team can surrender without being unanimous. I'm not reporting a bug, just saying it was a real kick in the gut to have the team throw up the white flag for me, especially in placements.
I've played about 8 matches now and have lost every single one of them. Sigh, it's been such a shitty night. :/
I think adjusting to the timer is probably the hardest thing for players and teams moving into Ranked. I see so many just sitting outside playing for peeks until there is 30 seconds left on the clock. Teams that do attack fast are usually the ones that end up winning attack rounds which wins games.
Personally I've started managing my attack time more strictly. Like making sure I'm droned in and into the building by 2:00, that I've gotten to a 'staging area' for the push by 1:00, and then using the last minute to attack or push the obj.
Minor 4Chan leak for the Y4 S4 operators
Kenya will be the defender
India will be the attacker
Leak isn't from a reliable source but honestly it's a 50/50 shot of getting it right lol

VarsityGaming is good because he has a solo queue-only series where he'll talk through what he's doing as he plays, especially with regards to utility ops.

Anyone else getting input bugs? I've strafed left twice this morning when I was holding an angle. I also couldn't ADS for some moments the last round on Border. Pretty frustrating.
I've found myself getting more aces than the past few years playing.
People who use their ping are the best, I ping every single round even if I'm the last man standing.
I never really played Caveira but now that people finally have other operators to choose from shes available more often. So much fun quickly getting the interrogation and having people salty with "cav main blahs blahs blah"
I've also been trying to be really creative with Fuze.
That reminds me, why the hell do people playing Hibana enter a building with no intention to breach a reinforced wall and end up dying leaving everyone to push through a longer more difficult way.
Same with Fuze, people play fuze and dont ever use it.

Potential new hard breacher coming in the near future.
4 years into this game and I'm still inconsistent as fuck lol. There's some rounds that I do very well, some that are just OK, and others where I can't even get a single kill.
Then again, the majority of the teams I face off against in casual are level 300+ platinum/diamond squads...

I love this game, but I don' t have much time to play anything with depth and stay anything close to competitive, or even keep up with map knowledge ect.
So I want to play this, but it will only ever be with out of date knowledge and pretty shallow knowledge at that. If I just line up solo and try not to be totally stupid can I still have a decent time? I play on PS4 generally.

Play terrorist hunt and you can learn the maps and the objectives very well there.
If you're bad you'll get the randoms complaining about you or squads voting to kick you out. I'm of the camp that just likes ranked and would say just play that and let it match you with people in your skill range. Then you also don't have to deal with being kicked. But I know some people don't like the seriousness of ranked.
Either way, I love this game and think you can have a lot of fun casually. It's at its best when you dive in though.
I DM'd her and she responded. And I'm not "thirsty" for information regarding Siege, only me and a few others are asking her about information when a lot of people are actually interested so we're doing the community a favor.
She said that Y5 will have a lot of "QoL improvements that the community will love" and that she will have "concrete information" soon for Y4 S4
Her DM:
There's no patience for newbies on even Casual. If you're the last person standing and don't get into a firefight within 2 seconds, in come the kick votes.
