    Talked about this with some friends the other day and we came up with a few simple solutions to end this obviously broken "strategy".

    1) You earn nothing while juiced. Juice is your reward for earning alot of money or staying alive long enough to build it up. The reward is being able to easily clear out players and turrets, so why are you rewarded a ton of money for using your reward? Doesn't make alot of sense from a game design viewpoint.

    and/or

    2) Buying juice ends your kill streak. Obvious, shouldn't have to explain this one.

    Like the last one. Most killwhores buying juice don't care about money, so the first one is not that good.

    People looking to juice chain do care about money though.

    Juice isn't that big of a problem anymore. Your ideas are not going to stop Assassin's from juicing on your base all the time. Also you shouldn't have your kill streak stopped from juicing, buying or not, but you shouldn't get the bonuses while juiced.

    Instead of nerfing juice why not learn to combat against it? Sure newbies or players not willing to learn are going to get destroyed, they'll learn. Why handicap yourself? Fight fire with fire!

    Lol. Hellking raged on me the other day for Juice Chaining on his Power Ranger ***. The funny part though, he was playing sniper and only sticking his head out of the spawn door when someone was in his icetrap. If kids who rage about juice would simply, get map control, then they wouldn't rage so hard. This game is far from perfect, but I seriously doubt the Arcade version will ever be competitive, even with patch after patch.

    I've said it before, I think they should just get rid of buying juice. A smart juiced player is really hard to CC.

    Yes you can get map control and crowd control and what not, but a juiced Deadeye or a juiced Hudson is hard to do it on. They'll usually get juice whether you're dominating them or not, and when they do, your team most likely just lost map control.

    Juice is still a little too powerful, imo.

    How about if juice lasted half as long?

    So Assassins could maybe kill one turret, and everyone else would be forced to use it in extreme circumstances. It would become a much more strategic tool rather than the blunt force tool it is now.

    The simple solution is to not allow juice buying. A lot of servers on PC already do this.

    Just chaining is still a problem. It's extremely easy, while juiced, to earn back the money to buy juice again if you're earning alot from a kill streak.

    Just because the time limit on juice machines allows only one player to abuse juice chaining instead of an entire team doesn't make it not a problem.

    A juiced player cannot gain map control by themselves, and good players are of course still going to get juice. My question is: Why can't you guys get juice? If you aren't good enough to get it, it's your problem.

    No, the counter to juice is crowd control. I'm just saying the people that want juice nerfs never get it.

    Crowd control is a way to deal with juice but not the best...a frozen gunner can still shoot..and well unless you can ring out with na grabble or somehting youll gonna get wrecked....but if you can stop them form egtting juice in the first place then they wont be a problem in the first place
