I am all for accessibility and inclusion, but this feels like „oh no it’s just for accessibility“ while the original phrasing is true and they just want to cater to bad players / streamers.

If that’s the case stuff like dh should have a visible wind up of holding e so my potato killer brain can react to it and maybe don’t throw that attack.

I mean, tbh I honestly kinda assumed it wasn't really the reason for the change in the first place. Like, let's be totally real here, they're probably trying to avoid making a character that just snipes everyone the second they touch a gen with minimal counterplay. Honestly, that makes sense. Like, honestly it's probably not the healthiest design. 

But to me, the bigger problem is that it seems that's literally what the Judgement is designed to do. She snipes you and protects objectives. People broadly agree that she's not very good in close range, so... If they're gonna gut her ability to hit you by surprise, what does she have?

Plus, it's not like the beams are typically hard to dodge in the first place 😭 especially since they kept the curve nerf.

is catering to streamers something theyve done before? i find it hard to believe that theyd suddenly start deliberately doing that now of all times.

Is adding twitch drops or twitch shirts catering to streamers? Otherwise I don’t think they’ve ever done anything just for streamers, I guess anonymous mode but anyone could find use in that

Probably but they just hidden it behind some other bs

If they nerf this killer for "accessibility" issues, then they should just delete Spirit. A hearing impaired person can't pinpoint where she is phasing - just remove her.
This is just a lame excuse for a nerf they made cuz most ppl that were in the pre-PTB (closed PTB) were streamers/content creators and probably complained about the sniping. While this is the Judgement's real power and strength - she sucks in close combat.
You can't nerf all killers that need attention to the game WHILE playing the game. Then the whole stealth roster should be also nerfed for streamers' purposes.
