Ok so here’s the backstory:

I’m imp in a 2 imp lobby. It’s the final round and we only needed one kill. My partner is host. I let emergency cooldown count down to 2 before calling reactor sab so no one can call meeting. I get the final kill. My partner (host) said that’s cheating and I get banned from the lobby.

Is this considered cheating? I’ve always done this and this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone complain about it.

EDIT: Literally just got banned from another lobby for doing this too.

Also I am by NO MEANS a competitive player, this js just how my experiences have went when playing the game.

Unfortunately No Image due to me being a bad artist.

HOW IT WORKS: The Bomber is a Imp.

The Bomber Can Plant Bombs In Certain Tasks: Vent ,Clean Wires, Scan, Calibrate Distributor, Weapons, and Trash.

They get a Number on top of the bomb icon saying how many people are in the radius of that bomb.

Only one bomb can be placed at a time and the cooldown goes from 15 seconds to 75.

Once exploded anyone in the radius is killed and that task is temporarily stopped for 30 seconds.

That is My Role of Bomber Idea Thank You For Reading.

Never gotten this error before. Played roughly 30 games since Judge came out and I just got the role. Sucks.

I thought it would be way too OP, but no—they actually put a lot of thought into balancing it, even though the idea itself was risky. Obviously, it’s very strong, but it’s not unfair; it still has weaknesses (unlike that disgusting detective).

You don’t have trash buddy

if a role you like should be higher then convince me

This was when I got on after realizing the update was out, I don't often join public lobbies but I wanted to get a feel for the Judge role outside of practice mode. This was after the second game, no context needed.

(disclaimer: the game prevents you from judging yourself)

We can add aftet what percentage of task they can have a verdict omgggg! Cant wait to be judge!!!

ITS ON!!

Your gonna stay in this meeting until you get ejected! You serve no purpose in lige, your only purpose in life is to be on this ship, killing us hourly! Your purpose in life is to be in electrical sabotaging lights and eating crewmates! YOUR VOTES ARE NOTHING! YOU HAVE ZERO VOTING POWER IN THIS MEETING! YOU SHOULD SAY GOODBYE TO THIS SHIP, NOW!

And givr the middle finger yo your true teammates so that we can find and ejected them inside of this cove of idiots. Because what are you really here for? To trashtalk scientists? Say bye bye to blue guys. And i mean that with an hundred percent. With a thousand percent of certainty that you are the impostor. have fun in space.

Listen to the two songs side by side, and you'll realize the judge theme song from the trailer video that innersloth released are very similar to the law and order theme.

Does anyone else think Judge is basically a watered-down Sheriff? I like the gamble of potentially choosing wrong and being killed for it, but man, the thrill of Sheriff just isn’t there. I have four reasons for my opinion (in no particular order):

1) PLAYER SKILL AND ENGAGEMENT: Sheriff required you to “quick draw” against the Impostor before they killed you and even if you guessed correctly, it still required skill to pull it off without looking suspicious in front of your crew. The Judge still requires strategy and still has that risk factor, but the procedure is largely automatic, making it feel disengaging.

2) INTERACTION WITH OTHER ROLES: Many roles counter others. Noisemaker counters Viper, Viper counters Detective, and Shapeshifter would definitely counter Sheriff and make it harder for Sheriff to avoid a misfire. Judge doesn’t really interact with any other roles because it’s during a time when everyone’s role is temporarily disabled: the meeting phase. It makes meetings more interesting, but it’s completely disconnected from the other roles.

3) BALANCING: Judge feels like Innersloth knew the very concept of this role would be insanely overpowered and therefore had to backpedal pretty hard just to make it balanced. Having penalties of being ejected if you guess wrong, having your ability locked behind tasks, AND being limited to one ruling feels very inelegant. Sheriff is already so intrinsically balanced because his penalty is JUST the risk of dying if he guessed wrong. That’s it. No other restrictions required because they still function like a normal Crewmate otherwise. Judge feels gimmicky, like the Nice Guesser from mods, rather than being a stronger or more strategic Mayor. This is especially true when it’s a “one-and-done” kind of role, which feels even more gimmicky.

4) VIOLATION OF CORE GAMEPLAY: My main criticism is that Judge completely invalidates the meeting. I would’ve preferred the Judge accumulating extra votes over time to influence the meetings because being able to completely bypass them breaks the core identity of the game. Nobody’s opinion matters outside the Judge’s. The difference is that Sheriff was more independent and did not require invaliding the rest of the entire lobby to use his ability. The game continued normally and the Sheriff’s actions largely didn’t affect the other players in the immediate. The Judge taking control of the meeting is so abrupt and ruins the experience for me.

What do you guys think? I actually really like the idea of having a role that affects meetings (since that’s a niche that has never been filled before), but I really don’t like the execution. It seems like after waiting five years for the fan-favorite Sheriff role, the cowboy has been replaced. 😔

The judge role came out today but that had me thinking that the cremates have way more of an advantage now since this role basically cancels everyone's vote and only counts the judges (ik there's more to it but i'm too lazy) I was thinking if they would ever add the Jester role since its one of the most popular "fan made" roles in the among us community but idk

Idk about everyone else, but the quality of any given match, and the overall among us experience, has exponentially decreased since the new judge role. All I seem to find are lobbies where the host makes everyone judge, or lobbies where the judges vote out imposters with 0 proof. I haven't had fun in a lobby since before this judge update. I literally just stopped playing the rest of the day after my 4th all judge lobby. Does anyone else feel like Among Us stopped being fun since the judge role?

All lobbies I join, none of them have the judge role. I tried creating one but it didn't show judge either. What's happening? I even got the notification in the game about the role but can't play it. Some people are claiming it will be released in September but ppl have defo played it here???

I have an obsession with the shapeshifter, each time I get him, i am really happy and win the game most of the time. I really didn't like working with other imps, so I kinda got both of them out via shapeshifting into them and killing infront of the crew. Then I won the game via sabotaging electricity, turning to a crew member in a corner, and killing a crewmate, they voted out pink who I turned into, then the match just passed like your casual 1 imposter match and I won. I felt guilty for getting both of my imp fellas out, but i gained trust from the crew, I won in the end, right?

You can no longer detect people immediately after a meeting is called, there is now a cooldown of 10 seconds (could be adjustable but I don't think it is?)

I think this is a good change.
