Teamkilling in the game would often only result in being kicked or potentially a cooldown timer on queues, which would hardly put off serial griefers who were hellbent on offing teammates in matches.
The way that the game dealt with griefing in the past has been arguably sub-optimal.
However, it now looks like players who abuse friendly fire are in for a rude awakening. While parent company Ubisoft has been at the forefront of a lot of measures geared to make one's player experience more pleasant, including when they banned players for using slurs in chat earlier this year, there's apparently still been a ways to go to stop actual in-game griefing since the release of Operation Burnt Horizon. Rainbow Six Siegehas had a griefing problem for quite some time now.
