Warzone pros demand Signal 50 sniper ban for World Series finals ActivisionA number of Warzone pros and streamers have called for the Signal 50 sniper rifle to be banned ahead of the World Series finals, with major concerns about both the gameplay and viewer experience with $600k on the line. The Signal 50 has been a huge point of contention among pro players in recent months, as it has continued to dominate the meta despite nerfs. Developers Raven Software opted not to nerf the Signal 50 in August\u2019s Season 5 update, explaining that their \u201cdata does not suggest the Signal 50 is out of the normal range in performance.\u201d However, as with any FPS game, there is a gap between how weapons are used by casual players \u2014 where Raven are likely drawing their data from \u2014 and how pros utilize them. And this could prove to be a huge issue at the WSOW finals on September 16. Signal 50 banned for World Series of Warzone? A number of competitors have spoken out just days before the World Series\u2019 crowning event takes place to complain about the Signal 50 and request the gun be banned to make it a better experience for everyone. \u201cThe Signal 50 has got to go or have a 1 sniper limit\u201d said TheTacticalBrit, who will be taking to the stage in London, comparing it to the Gorenko meta that had pro play in a vice grip during the Caldera World Series of Warzone finals. Another pro, Intechs, claimed that the \u201cSignal 50 is going to ruin the experience for viewers as well as the players.\u201d Warzone\u2019s highest earner and most accomplished player, Thomas \u2018Tommey\u2019 Trewren, had his say. \u201cIf you think customs are tough to watch right now, WSOW will only be worse with so much on the line. Very little movement, grab loadout and post up on a roof. Cracking plates across the map until one team runs out. \u201cUnderstandable some players and teams enjoy this, but it\u2019s just not fun.\u201d With pressure piling on from some of the top names in the game, it will be interesting to see whether the tournament organizers do decide to ban the Signal 50 from competitive play, though this close to the day, time is starting to run out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
