Here's my sob story.
I'm a shotgun scout. Shotguns are useless now and scouts are even worse. Now any player in dust can kill me instantly, using the new lock on system. My deaths per game have gone through the roof as now anyone with 8 bullets left in their AR can kill me on sight.
I think i'm gonna have to skill into AR's and heavy suits to survive this, its pure EHP fights now. |

Hit detection fixes on top of ridiculous aim assist are innate nerfs to scouts. It would have been one thing to just fix hit detection issues, but to give this "sticky reticle" thing that's going on to everyone is even worse.  |

Not to mention a whole lot of Isk.

Ran Active Scanner all day.
22M Shotgun Scout (Minnie)
Also ran active scanner all day. Should point out adv and proto scanners are bugged, they don't mark targets for 15/24 seconds respectively. Its always 5s.
Also, I fly pythons on the side, and now I have no willpower to do so, because of the new camera, but those are stories for another thread. Not tonight. |

I thought no longer being able to see what everyone else can would be a buff to the sneakier fits. But scouts rely the most on situational awareness. We're no longer able to flank enemies since we are less likely to know where they are, or the safest route to them. |

Agreed, and it doesn't help that the scanner lets people know they have been scanned. They should change it so that it only lets people that are too sneaky to be scanned know they weren't scanned. If that last sentence even makes sense. The unskilled should be blissfully ignorant. |

Two matches an over 20 deaths!
I was getting 15 to 20 kills a few days ago, this is ridiculous!
I used to always make suggestions an think ccP would be listening but I'm fed up honestly.
I got slaughtered today, an it's bloody infuriating when being spotted means death in under 3 seconds, no time to run, duck or shoot back!
Been begging for higher base stats, fixed hit box, cloaking, hit detection, scan radius, something that actually makes us more than a weak suit with a sg !
Everything in this game has a niche, scouts is dying!
I just don't have the energy to say much more at this point I feel like a broken record, I'm sure we all do |

I've been getting my butt kicked today. 
Sugg.... I will at least give it a go another week to see what ways there are to adapt before I sink into maddening depression and pull out my ugly, slow, plain Jane, 'just like everyone else' medium suit.
And I was just getting used to 1.3 and having more and more consistently good games. I was really hoping for an easier time in 1.4.... I thought I was just off my game but seeing all of these posts is depressing. |

Shotty scouts haven't been killers in PC since 1.2. 1.3 made us easy to hit, 1.4 made us even worse and broke shotguns even worse.
It's hard to keep up with all the alts these days, so if this is Xero, don't forget I got you 7 times in a row on EU servers 2 weeks ago. Shotgunning from 1000 miles away is pretty difficult eh? |

Wait... Let me get this right... You call it a nerf when they fix the hit box issue that made it nearly impossible for any class short of just spray and pray to hit a scout? How do you think the rest of the community felt when fighting a scout that literally could not be hit regardless of your own personal accuracy due to the laggy hit box? Grow up .. Sorry you all choose the class with the least armor and shields and die easy upon them fixing the glitches hit boxes... It comes with the territory.
Auto Aim is OP though... I will give you that |

Funny enough my gameplay only dropped to about -50% on kills, I'm now averaging 9/11 ratio.
I'm actually happy that I made my switch from an alpha scout to a beta scout though, since my sp potential hasn't changed.
I'm just hoping that these recent changes show ccp that giving us really effective ewar and cloaks as scout exclusive is now more justified than ever before.

Go dig about for threads back then, most people agreed it was an unnecessary nerf to scouts. |

I (for one) honestly didn't believe CCP would knowingly make things worse for Scouts. We've done everything possible to "point" them in the right direction. |

Scouts haven't been "hard-to-hit" since Chromosome.
We became quite easy to kill in 1.2.
At present, killing us requires little effort whatsoever.

So what's up with shotguns now? Hit detection has improved for everything else and worsened for SGs specifically? Been away a while and probably won't find the time to play for a couple of weeks, curious how they could've made every other weapon receive improved detection while leaving the shotgun screwed. |
