Luck based gameplay is bad

which is why all the buffs/debuffs are blanket and not directed towards a single role or ability. every buff/debuff affects everyone equally.

blizzard - reduces speed,stamina,and sight range through varying degrees of visibility including total white out, decreased vehicle agility

Hurts scouts and vehicles more than others

fog - reduces sight range

No opinion

heavy rain - reduces sight range, decreases effectiveness of active scanners and suit scan range

Harms gallente and caldari scouts as well as gallente logis in 1.8 more than anyone else

light rain - decreases sight range, increases stamina

How does rain increase stamina?

thunder storm - decreases active scanner effectiveness and suit scan range,

Hurts scouts more than others

Will hurt gallente logis more than others in 1.8

hurricane - reduced sight range, reduces speed,

Harms scouts more than others

sand storm - reduced sight range, decreased speed, decreased vehicle agility, sensor ghosts on radar, decreased active scanner effectiveness.

Harms scouts, vehicles, and gallente logis in 1.8 more than others

just to spice things up abit

Overall this will hurt scouts, gallente logs and vehicles more than anyone else

sight reduction hurts everyone as we all have to see and the reduction would be the same for everyone.

reduced stamina slows everyone down equally as they all have a reduced sprint time and amount of jumps

scan range reduction means all suits are less visible. this goes in tandem with reduced range of active scanners. scan strength is not affected

light rain does increase stamina. you ever been for a run in light rain. its refreshing, keeps you cooler and it gives me a boost. is that not what stamina does in dust. it gives you the ability to sprint for longer. this would also affect everyone as everyone has and uses stamina.

thunder storm creating electrical interfearance in turn affecting passive and active scan effectiveness. in this case range again and not strength. affects all

reduced speed slows down everyone not just scouts.

decreased speed/decreased vehicle agility affects everyone no matter what they are doing.

sensor ghosts applies to everyone in a vehicle or on foot. all passive scanning is reduced

with regards to gal logi yes it has a bonus to active scanners but its bonus is not affected. if it uses it they still have an advantage over none gal logi but at a general reduced effectiveness the same as anyone else who fits it.

speed also does not only affect scouts. it affects heavies and assaults and logis and all vehicles.

also the vehicle speed reduction works in tandem with a suit speed reduction therefore both are at a disadvantage.

Those things are all things that give the scout role. So what if a assult moves slower, he has HP. Scouts advantages are speed and scanning. Take that away and you've killed the scout Also you wouldn't be able to feel rain in a dropsuit, even though rain making you run farther makes no sense at all, intact id probably run more if there was no rain. TBH I don't like weather effecting game play as it adds luck as a factor, removing some of the skill.
