  • Nerf the judge

Look I know that there are rumors about the judge secretly being nerfed last patch but it is still not good enough. The fact that you can have no shield and push a 5 person rush and win is ridiculous. It either needs to do less damage or cost more. Hell even both. Games are ruined by the cheap a hole that decided to buy the judge.

i agree complety the judge is too overpowered

that wont happen unless the entire team is just awful. like ive never seen someone rush w a judge and kill an entire team. maybe wait in a corner but if they kill an entire team like that, thats on the team. just, dont be bad. if you know theres a judge, dont get close to corners and keep a distance

I'm used to play the judge a lot and as I noticed so far, it's only really good in close quarter. As soon as an enemy has a vandal or similar and keeps a good distance, I can't do much.

Haven't really been on the receiving end of the judge like you say. Is it being used a lot in ranked games?

    Gameondaily Not really, maybe only in one of the first rounds.
    Mostly used is the Phantom/Vandal, and as soon as they got the money the Operator

    If you're struggling against the Judge consider playing a character like Sova or Raze who can easily recon and then destroy those Judge users who are camping corners.

    Another option is just ignoring the camper and going to the other site on attack. The judge is terrible at retakes because the Judge user can't easily pick favorable engagements. Once they leave their corner they are at a serious disadvantage in most circumstances to even smgs, rifles, or even pistols.

    I have to agree with CoachHamm. The Judge can most definitely destroy even players in heavy armor, HOWEVER, it requires a very specific playstyle or situation (or insane skills to mitigate the disadvantage) to be effective, often times putting the wielder in disadvantageous positions/situations if they decide to push. And as pointed out before me, campers can easily be circumvented in almost any scenario with either some specific characters OR just by simply taking a different way to approach the spot and catching them from behind with their pants down.
