Can't flank - Enemy will just cut you down
Can't rush in unexpectibly - Enemy expects it and cuts you down
Can't dance around boxes - Enemy knows exactly where you are
It breaks too many things.
If you put on profile damps then you are just gimped and can't fight against those scanner users anyway.
My anti scanner suit has 100 less HP and regenerates 5hp/s slower.
Compared to the logi that just lolspam his scanner and has scarifices nothing on his suit.
Active scanner MUST be nerfed heavily.
Its very annoying when you spawn in and you see that you have been scanned already, it should be limited to 90 degrees, I'm sure when it was created it wasn't intended to be spun around, the range should be nerfed too, they can know where anyone is within 150 meters way to easy for them, the cooldown time should be longer so they can't just constantly run it,
it was intended to be a defensive tool and a tool for the squad to havew recon ability, instead its being used as a solo offensive tool, basically you have one proto logi running solo constantly scanning and huting people down, scouts are screwed since they rely on stealth and the element of surprise
I agree, it negates every tactic, its definetly OP |

Except, of course, if the only "tactic" you are able to use is running straight at people.
I'm running a medium suit that has 418 total HP, 2x damage mods, 1x complex dampener for the last couple of weeks. And I think it is more effective than a fully dual-tanked suit.
Active scanners "negating tactics" is absolutely bullshit. If you want to flank, make a fitting that is suitable to flanking. Sure you can run a dampening flank suit, but at a massive disadvantage to a brick tank/dmg suit with a proto scanner, which you still probably won't hide from unless a scout. 2x complex dampeners will hide a medium suit from all but that one proto scanner which has ridiculously high fitting requirements. In pub matches, I don't run into people with proto scanners all too much, so 1x complex dampener is enough to counter any ADV scanner. In PC matches I use 2x complex dampeners so that there is only one proto scanner that can still scan me, if people care to actually use it. The point is, if you want to flank than you have to dedicate a suit towards it. You just can not expect to be able to flank with any suit any time. Finally, another believer. Jebus these guys just won't listen. Profile Dampeners are the way to go. The only class that has the right to complain is the min assault because it only has 2 low slots, and heavies. Any suite that has 3 or more low slots has no right to cry because you have a counter. If you haven't skilled or tried this counter yourself you have no right to speak on this because you are making assumptions and scared to lose EHP or Reps. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king? Well in the land of the sighted, the invisible man is king. Profile dampeners work people.
advanced scouts are screwed because we only have 2 low slots, if we wear dampeners we have to lose speed, speed is the only defense we have since we can't wear armor either, even if we skill into profile dampening we still cant beat proto scanners without wearing dampeners, if we wear dampeners then we become slow squishy scouts which is completely useless
and as far as mediums suits, we have to skill into profile dampening and wear dampeners just to beat advanced scanners and we still won't beat proto scanners, on top of that we will be running around with 350 hp which makes us vulnerable to AR spam

All I know is that I always see "Scan Attempt Prevented"
I love it when they see me, I disappear, then they scan and get no results for me. I dig it when they are lost without their scanner.
BTW cat merc my anti scanner fit (all of them) has waay more than 100 less HP than yours.
this is probably the only advantage to being a scout these days, to bad we can't infiltrate objectives since they blink when being hacked so everyone knows we are there and we can't ambush at objectives because they have a 20m passive scan and we get massively screwed in every other depatment since mediums suits can do all our roles better |
