I'm really hoping these changes turn the Scouts into the formidable assassins they are meant to be. And the best thing is that if this really turn out this way you guys can't really be nerfed anymore. You don't have HP, don't have PG, neither CPU, what are they going to take from you? Your sidearm? They can't nerf your player skill.
Now, when the average AR assault guy gets killed by a scout in a dark corner he will know that it's his fault. He shouldn't be wondering in those dark alleys and now he will fear those guys with less than 100 ehp that come from the shadows in your radar and kill you before your rifle can even start shooting asking for help. He will be ashamed to come to the forums claim that they are OP because, hey, they can be killed so easy as long as you spot them in time. As long as you spot them...
Generally speaking, these changes end up adding value to anything Scan related, or the so called Electronic Warfare (EW). Think about the skills: the base radius stat for your scan is 10m, but it can go up to 15 just with skills, and realistically some 13 without a too big investment. That's in radius, that's some considerable area since the increase is in all directions. With lvl 4 in precision you can detect other medium suits (55 base - 12% = 48,4 <50) without any module, but you can counter that training a couple lvls to lower your scan profile yourself. If you can dedicate a single high slot to buff your radar precision in a medium suit you can pick up any other regular medium suit in that radius, and sometimes now that may be better than some random shield nonsense that you can stick with your leftover status in an armor tanked suit. Skills, modules and equipment all are more attractive and if they became really worth using, even if only in specific conditions, this change will have achieved something really good giving EW much more depth and consequence in the game. This is what I want to see, people so scared from the unknown that they start finding some space to fit those modules, or the courage/skill to go without. This would prove that these changes made a good difference beyond only the scouts turf, |
