Plenty of changes to help scouts in the next build... or do you cherry pick what you complain about?

Please, PLEASE tell me the bonus that scouts are getting? If its scan crap you're talking about, thats not how I play scouts and is useless to me. Im not a sneaky scout and I didnt spec into scouts to be sneaky. Im a hit and run scout.

Regardless of how you play scouts, the passive scanner changes will help with survivability, so its not all bad.
IF it works, scanning profile has not worked once since the first week of chromo. Even today before 1.4 I can see maxed out scouts with dampaning through walls and on the opposite side of the map by just going into ADS and pointing in their general direction. Still 1.4 is a huge nerf to scouts with the heavy change in turn speed and the change in strafe.
I run a biotic scout (so somewhat similar to what you seem to run) and I have to say that I'm cautiously optimistic about 1.4 still. Like someone said earlier the passive scan changes will help. But mostly the disabling of squad vision. BTW scanning has worked throughout uprising, it's just not super useful, maybe 1.4 will change that, maybe not. You should check out a proto gallente scout with 4 range amps. It's awesome.
Also, so you believe that scouts, by virtue of being light frame, should not be allowed to be seen? So if someone tries to aim at you then you can just not show up? Stop whining and think about it. You complained about being highlighted by someone ADSing you. I don't know what you're doing wrong, but cover works great for me...
Beyond that, the CQC is getting some love, at least on the DS3. I don't know why EVERYONE glosses over the return of aim assist. That will be huge to all the shotgun scouts, at least in my opinion. Might help everyone elses aiming too but CQC will get the most advantage there.
Finally, as soon as CCP released details of turn rate changes and changes to TACNET, I started saving my SP. Time to try out some different strategies. My playstyle may not be as viable as before. Adapt or Die. |
