DarkZero Esports Rainbow Six Siege Player Hotancold Says Ash Needs A Nerf

Matthew Stevens, known as “Hotancold,” is a 22-year-old American Rainbow Six Siege player who has been playing for DarkZero Esports since November 2018. Previously, he was playing for SK Gaming.

With the release of the newest operation, Neon Down, Ubisoft made lots of balancing changes in the game and one of them was removing flash grenades and adding a claymore for Ash. Also, her special ability breaching charge’s damage is reduced, and the number of these rounds increased to three.

Later today, Hotancold took his official Twitter account to share a new post and explained why this is actually a buff for Ash, even though most of the people would argue that it is a nerf for her.

In the post, Hotancold mentioned that he didn’t understand why Ubisoft decided to add 3 charges instead of 2 for her special ability and said that this is a buff for Ash. Also, he stated that Ash needs a nerf right now in the current meta.

Here is what Hotancold said:

“Hot take, the Ash change is a buff. I think she needs an actual nerf. Just give her 2 charges I don’t know why she needs 3?”
