Is there any reason left to play Artist?

Artist players, how you feeling that Judgement can:

Multifloor Attack

Damages multiple survs

2 health state v.s. Artist being a 4

Working speed increments

Killer instinct on downs and misses

Quick Mori system

Side quest for Survivors

    this is how trapper and wraith players felt when Artist and others like her came out btw, there's nothing wrong with killers that are different tiers of impact and complexity.

    While its not a sat kill, im perfectly capable of getting much more creative shots with artist than judgement. And much stealthier too.

    Artist close range power is still way ahead of judgments. artist completely shuts down a loop with one crow while judgment cant even damage close range without doing weird maneuvers.

    Artist can also damage and even down a camped survivor instantly with setup. While judgment if using her exile doesn't really even know where a survivor is gonna end up not only that they can get up to 15 seconds of it

    Artist also has killer instinct on misses

    True a artist needs to hit her power 4 times, but if a survivor is hit by crows they need to leave the gen or they will die while also having constant aura reading. The judgment has no way of knowing if a survivor stayed on the gen after hitting them.

    And Artist power is way stealthier

    But also artist has 3 charges of her power, and can pressure 3 gens at once if she wanted. and her cooldown is just shorter 2

    I will agree judgment is just miles better on midwich and swamp rip. but on every other map artist just seems like the better choice

    I play a bit of Artist/Pyramid and will definitely be making the switch to The Judgment she'll probably be my next p100

    • Artist definitely does have an insane ability to shut down loops, Judgments close range chase is still great but she cannot completely disable loops entirely.
    • Judgment can also camp and hit survivors instantly without setup, there is a pretty easy way to find Shrines so its not too hard to camp them
    • Judgment also has killer instinct on misses basekit now
    • Her best add-on (Auroras Telereceptor) shows you the survivors aura for 4 seconds after hitting them so you do know if they stayed on the gen
    • Arist crows are countered by lockers so you cannot reliably get long ranged snipes against people who know counterplay

    I think artist is able to exert a lot of map pressure since she has 3 charges as you said, however Judgments snowball and chase potential is significantly stronger. Judgment does make up for not having multiple charges by getting amazing passive slowdown and passive info with heresy granting old ruin forcing survivors into shrines granting free snipes.

    TLDR: Judgment does almost everything Artist does but better, the only thing I see Artist being better at is pressuring multiple gens at once and her ability to instantly shut down loops. Then again Artist is still an amazing killer despite a bit of powercreep.

    Artist and Judgement are complete opposites in my opinion. Artist excels at shutting down loops, while Judgement excels at it.
    Judgement excels at sniping people mid-range, while Artist struggles with having the birds connect regularly.

    I dont think they are that similar in purpose, honestly.

    artist is better than judgement hands down

    rhe main and most important is judgement hits are inherently rng since judgement getting hits mostly depends on whether survivors are actually paying attention since they can see the set up and the beam

    I'm gonna be honest, I like the power of judgement, but it hurts so bad to play right now. I just have to play her more, but it's still pretty hurtful right now xD

    Artist always felt natural to me, even on the ptb she already felt clean to play for me xD
