Spiciest opinion: Black Ice is overrated period. Edit: something I really liked about weapon skins like the ones from the board game for Rainbow are camoflages that change the weapon rather than give it colors, a similar concept that call of duty made since 2016 pretty much. Wow look at this purple blueprint that turns your M14 Ebr into a modern M39 EMR is like having a new weapon!
@@ABSOLUTAMENTENADIE-xy4bt they kinda do this with some legendary skins. However i wish it was a model change and you could still put any skin you wanted on it.
I like Black ice skins, but there are to many in the game now I think what makes it less special. would also been good if it wasnt on the marketplace so you just could get it from the packs. other skins to compete with it exist but there are just not enough of them
Well the reason black ice is so popular, is because it looks pretty good, but also because the other weapon skins are mid tier/ass at best. (Except for the old seasonal skins) they need to have better weapon skins. It also iconic because it was the first season.
I've traded most of my black ice skins for esport weapon skins. Before the marketplace I hated how i was only using Black Ice skins on all my weapons because it was the only cool skin Ubisoft had to offer for non-spending players.
I wish black ice never got added to alpha packs even though the hype of getting them is fun. It killed the value. It hurts especially the og players who got the skins back then. There are actually a lot of legendary skins and charms that were alpha pack exclusive back then a good amount of players were going for that are really cool like conflagration for ar-15 or banana charm. But now with the oversaturation of garbage skins and black ice, these great skins are not really discovered by players. Another thing is that r6 doesnt really have "skin enthusiasts " there isnt an Ohnepixel or someone like that in R6 that can showcase skins. I don't know what ubisoft can do about this because at the end of the day black ice drives the money
Frankly, I think there are WAY to many just filler skins that are just atrocious. Even the legendary skins are just awful and dont really "pop" like youd think a legendary should be. So many of the skins in legendary tier should be greens or blue. I think the skins in the game in general are just not very good outside of a handful.
there are still good skins out there, but unfortunately few and far between. Millesime is a really nice revolver skin, oil spill looks cool IMO, although the lighting could definitely be better, and there's a handful more
I'm still surprised to this day that they have not added a weapon mastery system. It would encourage people to actually use operators that they don't like and step out of their comfort zone to complete the challenges! We've been over tactical realism for about 5 years now I really wish they would just throw the paintbrush at the screen and make some awesome camos like dark matter, magma, interstellar etc etc I want the camos to get a little crazy but I want them to be locked behind challenges whether it be tournaments or otherwise!
Use operators they don't like? But that would mean using non-meta and "bad operators" and if there's one thing that's well known about the siege community, they are extremely callous of your operator choice. I've been called slurs and TKed for not using only the meta operators, and using ones that are fun. This community HATES fun, and stepping out of it's comfort zone. They're way too concerned with treating the game like the continued existence of humanity is on the line
Make Black Ice red and call it Red Crystal and it might be the new hyped skin. Make it Multi colored and call it Shatter. Make it Black and call it Obsidian.
I just wish the game had a “random” option to cycle between gear and camos you favorited cuz if I get a cool skin and I have black ice… 10 times out of 10 I’d choose black ice..
You are blaming the wrong party, the problem isn't ubisoft riding the success of black ice, it's the community putting it on a pedestal, overhyping it and making people sought after it just because other people sought after it, not because they actually like the skin that much. These people continue to hype the skin, making a vicious cycle that ignores every other skin.
I just wish they made black ice available to all guns, then it wouldn’t be seen as so special and rare. And we’d also be happy to just be able to use new weapons with black ice
Honestly i like some epics and legendary skins i have for my guns like kaids legendary, The FMGs rapier hilt, and mozzies commando nine epic i have (can’t remember the name)
Agreed on this one. I still prefer remodel guns skin wich is better. iMO blck ice is still cool on the shield op. And marketplace wise i dont waste my money on weapon skins i mainly use marketplace to buy some cool uniform or headgear that i dont had before
I’ve played this game for 5 years and only gotten 5 black ice my friend who has only been playing for 3 months has gotten 10 black ice skins within his short time of playing guess I just have the worst luck
I find it absolutely hilarious how the "SEASONAL" cosmetics are shoved into alpha packs despite not being of the current season. Even with all the cosmetics available, ubisoft still somehow manages to be the only studio that can give out duplicates in amounts that should be considered a crime
If the commando 9 got 1.5 do you think that it would make sentry and moz back in to the meta, also what do you think they should do with sentry curious to know your thoughts
If the commando 9 got 1.5 do you think that it would make sentry and moz back in to the meta, also what do you think they should do with sentry curious to know your thoughts
What they should do is make a skin like what diamond is, a skin that can only be bought with renown to incentivise people to play the game, I have almost 900,000 renown, and there is no way I'm spending it on alpha packs.
Ubi needs to do better with the attachment skins they put in the battlepass, the one from Y9S1 was good, which was chroma streaks but silver, they need to do more of that imo
Kudos making this vid to try and tank black ice prices on the marketplace so he can pick them up for cheap. Nah, but honestly would be cool if they explored more with weapon skins that actually reshaped the gun model. thinking like the one changes i think it was vigil's k1a into like a crossbow looking gun. I dont want them to go full valorant with it, but just something to make them more unique.
I have like almost all black ices even the new ones and I never touch them worst skin ever i rather run retro steel tbh and I don’t wanna sell anything because it makes me so much renown
I don’t hate black ice and honestly glad they made it so easy to get now with the marketplace but I wish there were other skins to rival black ice even if it’s a recolor
Well I mean they've already tried with skins like Thermal Antipodes but nobody wanted to run it because it was seen as the poor man's black ice by the community despite looking pretty good.
I'm a fashonista and I love having my OPs looking extra good with each their own theme, so I in fact have rarely said such a thing as "I wish this was Black Ice", if anything I've said more like "I wish this Black Ice I just got was on another weapon.". But I'm aware I'm probably in the minority about this.
I've never really been a big fan of the Black Ice skin, I personally always run a weapon skin that changes the shape of the gun if at all possible, those skins are always way more interesting to me.
they should reintroduce past seasonal skins into bravo packs like the azure ward and dread factor weapon skins. as well as some of the operator skins like the green deimos one in y9s1 as a way of replacing the filler greens and blues.
I have always found it weird that THIS skin is what the community decided was the best one. It's not bad, but I literally don't use it on any of the weapons I have it on because it's just not that special
I’m wouldn’t mind them adding glacier to the skin rotation at least for Bravo packs but also creating a whole new skin as you were saying for all packs couldn’t tell you what it should be I’ll leave that up to the devs I personally love the color red so I’d love to see something with it but as long as it looks good idc what color it is
Its pretty cool on some guns but imo its massively overrated due to perceived rarity (when it isn’t even that rare, some are so common they cost 10-20 creds on the marketplace). Quite a few rares look cooler than it too.
ngl I held skin lines like royal and engraved in similar regards to black ice that being great epic skins to have on guns, but compared to the other two black ice is more universal than the other skins, being that majority of guns have gotten a black ice.
I think my favorite weapon skin in the game has to go too the dead center universal skin from y9s1 its vibes were on point and on some characters I run it over black ice
i play since beta and black ice is nothing special anymore tbh i get it like rain so it doesn't matter for me but having black ice in year 1 as universal and then after year 1 it was special. But now its nothing special
R6 Siege has to be the worst game regarding skins in general...almost every uniform is a recolored default uniform. Even event and bp skins are mostly just recolored defaults. Headgears are also at least 60 percent just recolors...and we haven't even started with the unbalancement of skins distribution...some ops have dozens of skins meanwhile ops like Clash have almost none whatsoever (yes, Clash sucks blablabla...) weapon skins are garbage as well, 99% of them are just lines or shapes copy pasted all over the gun. It's been years since shields got their own skins (they even took the cool looking para bellum skin away from them)...Y9S3 has the first good seasonal weapon skin in years...
People glaze black ice way too much. Siege players make it their entire personality. I agree it's pretty cool, but god damn, stop glazing it. There are other cool skins that deserve recognition
Not really, majority of the skins are ass, even the better skins don't pale in comparison to how good black ice looks. It's not glazing if it's true kiddo.
I sold all my black ices due to them not being rare. Back when that meant something. I sold them and bought some more rarer weapon skins like Leon furioso and crossfader
They never meant anything other than you having good luck. Y'all act like having black ice at any point in the history of this game made you a god or something 💀
@@KudosR6ye i understand that it does have a unique look texture i like. But lemme elaborate what i mean it just dosent feel the same opening it back in the day. But it is cool and better than most skins atleast
Ubisoft cooked with like 10 skins back in the first few seasons and now every skin is just boring. They should look at CS skins and get some ideas. I really like the 3d glass type effect R6s black ice and gem skins and CS’ doppler and marble fades have. I think it would be cool to get more like that instead of the seasonal skins that look like the first skins you unlock in old cods and annoying anime esports skins
i've never spent money on any game (other than to buy it), so i agree with you, but siege has a marketplace now, and you can sell most of your skins so your point doesn't really work here.

I prefer the 3d and animation skin more then Black ice, and I what Ubisoft to add more of these skin in the packs
