Is the judgement the next killer at odds with herself?

With knight theres a idea that his identity kinda hurts himself at both points. Leave the guards alone they do nothing. Try to work with them they degrade faster. Judgement has a easy warning if you are at range now. And has a safety zone if your up close. So you have to play in the mid range I guess. Will have to see how she settles being punished at both.

  • I fear she's going to be as bad as Krasue in terms of becoming so niche as to be unused. Krasue was busted at launch because the PTB she was on was also full of other bugs and the antitunnel stuff that collectively made her incredibly weak, so the devs overcompensated. Then they nerfed her, but in the wrong places, so she's not weak, but is hard to play, has essentially no skill expression beyond a basic formula and is countered very hard by SWFs or any kind of teamwork, so nobody plays her anymore. And then Stranger Things 2 and Jason came out and everyone forgot about Krasue, despite all the effort that had been put into the chapter's aesthetics and lore. Since the Terrifier chapter is coming out next (assuming the lawsuits don't get in the way), Judgment's probably going to be completely abandoned by the end of the year if they don't work really hard to make the Killer more appealing and memorable.

    It's a real shame that the Grimoire Project has turned into something so divisive and frankly unrepresentative of what most DBD players actually like about the game. None of my picks were successful ones, so at least it wasn't my personal idea for a Killer that got so screwed up, but it still stings.

    I fear the same to be honest. By giving a snipe-oriented killer too much built-in counterinformation, once the initial learning period is over it will be a nightmare to actually hit shots. It is already very difficult to hit them in loops, but there it is because it requires personal skill which feels rewarding, while for ranged shots it will be mainly out of your control if they hit or not, which will lead to very frustrating play patterns.

    I do hope they revert the vignette and increased beam visibility. From what I have seen on PTB, people found her fun to go against and fun to play, even if she scales very unforgivingly with the operators skill level.

    she's probably going to gave krasue's pickrate in the first week after people find out how ridiculous her skill floor is and how impossibke she will play on console.on ptb she was impossibke to play in chase to far warnings besides the obvious white bean just ruins her further
