My first four platinum games were victorious for the operation completion!  It was liberating to be forced out of my gold safety zone.  My first game was on Hazard Giant versus geth, using a Salarian Infiltrator with BWidow.  Planning for Cerberus, I couldn't really settle on any of my regular kits to sufficiently neutralize those Phantoms.  So I practiced with the Juggernaut on gold for a few games, and, despite trying to avoid the map, choke slammed those biotic bimbos with relative ease on Rio.  I then searched for a Reaper platinum and landed in a Dagger.  It was in this game that I started to understand the finer aspects of tanking with the Juggernaut, mainly in maneuvering yourself so that you're not taking more damage than you can restore.  Brimming with confidence after this match, I searched for a Collector game.  Firebase White was the scene of a fantastic game with a great all around team.  We mainly stayed on that corner with the hack, I was the stopper when my teammates who had advanced down the staircases sensed they were going to be overrun.  Banshees, Praetorians, Primes all halted before me, and my teammates vanquished them with extreme prejudice.  I ended up with the lowest score at 89k, while the top score was 119k.   That's one of the most even score breakdowns I've ever been a part of.

TL,DR:  I've heard people say that the Juggernaut makes players able to play beyond their skill level, but I believe that the true strength of the Juggernaut, played correctly, is to better everyone around it.

Good for you!

And yes, the Juggy can serve a very useful team role. :)

The Juggernaut is precisely what you say it is: A massive wall of metal and circuitry that refuses to go down.

He tends to work best just absorbing as much damage as possible and acting as a decoy for the more dangerous/annoying bosses like Phantoms, Praetorians and Banshees.

Still, congrats! I recently discovered what it was like to be successful in Plat games too, it's definitely a step up :D

Thanks guys. On a side note, one trick someone mentioned that makes a huge difference when playing this kit is avoiding the heavy melee cooldown by either moving a bit, shooting, or using a power. I never would have survived a lot of situations without that.
