Once again Judge draws a load of conclusions that are barely indicated by the evidence presented, with a load of missing details and reasoning errors, and calls them "facts". Sadly I don't have time to critically analyse every point he makes here.

Though I will say that in the example with his friend waiting for him, Judge approached from outside his field of view meaning the cloak had not effect. Also he failed to realise or comment on the fact that approaching an enemy, whilst cloaked, head on is extremely dangerous. Yes if you attack before being noticed the cloak will assist with the element of surprise giving an advantage. However, if your opponents sees you first he will be the first mover and have the advantage as you will not have a weapon equipped.

Also I find it somewhat disingenuous to claim he's not saying cloaks or scouts are op when it seems pretty clear this is exactly what he is inferring.

That said I broadly agree that cloaks in their current form can too easily be used as an assault tool. If you had to spend a second to decloak before switching weapons maybe scouts could no longer overshadow assaults and people would regain some of the respect they had pre 1.8 for the skill and strategic awareness it takes to be a successful scout.

Can I also say, despite my criticism, I greatly respect Judge's commitment to improving the game and community. Also the way he shows, in detail, the mechanics of the game for us to discuss is excellent.

I feel that Judge's video doesn't accurately portray the situation. This is no fault of Judge's, but of the visual quality of his videos. Those frames he shows do make it hard to see. But notice how much better quality the actual game is than his videos..
