@ Protocake

A scouts role is to SCOUT (0_0).

This means to survey the enemy, by calling out how many, what type they are, and what not.
They are supposed to be skilled in using active and passive scanning to seek oit enemy intel.
Scouts also do infiltration, by rushing in to an objective and getting out. They can also flank and take out targets.
Scout snipers are particularly effective at scouting, but a scout with a scanner is also very effective.

This is a legitamate scout, but as Cosgar pointed out, it is a sandbox out there.

"survey the enemy"- is such a pointless endeavor, overshadowed by people's own situational awareness (and OP active scanners), and it's only useful if you enjoy role playing. You are more useful flanking and shooting. PRO TIP: Everyone can see "how many", "what type", and other "enemy intel" regardless of what suit they are wearing. (The only thing that makes a difference is the OP active scanner)

"infiltration, flanking" - Yes I agree, that is it's main purpose. The bonuses the scout suit gets (and base speed) allows it to flank better than a medium suit. However you still need gun game, because the end goal for flanking is to shoot people in the face while they are preoccupied.

"Scout snipers" - lol. just lol. Scouts literally make the worst snipers ever. Just ask yourself, how does your light suit while sniping make you more effective at "scouting" (I use the term "scouting" sarcastically because i'm assuming you're really talking about the "survey the enemy" bs you mentioned earlier).

A real scout does not have a nanohive in its equipment slot, they would have an active scanner or possibly REs. A real scout doesnt dual tank, they use modules to enhance precision and scan range, or speed and stamina. Most scouts dont use ARs, because they look for an ACTUALLY challenging weapon to use, ie PLC, shotty, ScP, or NKs. Oooookkaay. Let me rephrase the question. WTF is a real scout supposed to do? WHAT is it's purpose on the battlefield, and HOW does it go about fulfilling that purpose? A scout is sneaky..pure stealth Hardly answers my questions, but alright. In my opinion, the Scout should be the ultimate flanker. "Stealth" is just one of the tools scouts can use to flank and there are many ways to go about being "stealthy". Yeah sure, you can fill all your slots dampeners, but realize that set up will only be useful in very certain situations. There is nothing wrong with using shield extenders and armor plates. In fact, you can use both armor plates AND kincats, dampners and whatever else will fit into your lows. The whole point of being "stealthy" is to remain unseen, so as long as you remain unseen, who cares what modules you've used. Ever since the TTK dropped, a good majority of my deaths came from people I did not see. The people that flank me, the people that just luckily happened to wander to me outside of my line of sight, are they scouts too even if they are in a medium suit? For all it matters, they were just as stealthy as a "true" scout. If you want to be successful in a scout suit, you need to realize that there are more ways to being stealthy than just equiping 10 profile dampeners. In maps with large open spaces, wide fields, and very little cover, it would be wise to have a scout suit with lots of health and a weapon that has decent range (AR, SCR, MD, LR) In this type of environment, it's easy to have good situational awareness, so it's always better to rely on yours. If you are in a place with lots of cover, very little amounts of open spaces, and lots of clutter and verticality, then maybe it will be okay put one or two dampeners in your low slots. You will still need shields and or armor if you can fit it. As long as you are the first to engage, then you are doing it right. NOTE: ideally, it is always better to rely on your own situational awareness for stealth, so if you can get rid of the dampeners and replace them with health or speed mods, that will increase your survivability immensely Assaults are supposed to be the kings of 1v1s, the backbone of a push for an objective. Scouts are supposed to be the kings of flanking, avoiding head on firefights and there are no rules that dictate how you need to go about doing this. Just like there are different kinds of assault players, there should be different kinds of Scouts. The only problem I see, is that the majority of the player base is bad at FPS, i've seen so many "scouts" running around in places were they shouldn't be. It's like they think profile dampeners make them invisible. I'm not trying to say scouts are fine the way they are, i've already stated what needs to happen with them, but the problems you guys are complaining about have nothing to do with the real issue that's causing you guys so much grief. CCP did not put a lot of thought into the stealth mechanics of this game. They made the Active Scanner incredibly overpowered. The "thumb war" style scans vs dampeners mechanic is ****** (a dampener should not be COMPLETELY nullified by a scanner, EVER). And lastly, a personal gripe of mine, is when bad players complain that they are not successful. I mean, their feedback can be useful at times so it gets taken into account, but it gets pretty irritating when people begin labeling themselves "scouts" when they only have a childlike idea of how a scout should play like. This playerbase is bad.**
Oswald Rehnquist 613	Posted - 2013.11.17 05:29:00 - [35] - Quote So if I post actual pictures of my results I took on my phone of 32/8 or 23/0 matches does that give me enough permission to invalidate whatever your saying? What if I were to tell you I did this with shotguns / duel pistols? Or are you telling me your actual average long term kdr ratio of the scout is 6.0? While kdr **** swigging feels good for the ego every so often (I just did it), it does not get to the root of the issue here. I actually agree with you that scouts are viable though, but the difference is what utility you are trading off by going scout and why would you go scout. You literally turned your scout into an assault unit, literally no different than logisalts, which I perfectly understand why you did such. But then you have to see that that there is only one play style that is extremely successful "assaulting while brick tanking with an assault rifle like weapon", which most who pick scouts to not do pick such to go into that role. Also suggesting that assaults shouldn't duck for cover or flank is something I always found interesting because people like to "stand and deliver" yet die repetitively without changing tactics. I hate to break it to you but tactics is not a scout exclusive thing, ducking for cover, looping around is within the assaulting range of options for medium frames. In fact most scouts are looking for non assault aspects which they can perform while dabbling in our offensive ways, similar to how logis can switch between killing people and buffing teammates, scouts are looking for debuff abilities while stalking down or defending critical targets. Unsurprisingly the arch typical rogue is not looking to carry a sword and shield into battle, a warrior can do that marginally better and rightful so. We want our rogue abilities and functions.

People, you need to realize that if you're bad at shooting, then you are bad at shooting and nothing can help you except practice and OP weapons. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean someone else can't. I do not agree that you are turning the scout into a medium frame just by adding tank. It is still a scout, low scanning profile and long passive scanning range with smaller hitbox and higher speed. Tradeoff is the lower ehp compared to using a medium frame. I would not be able to flank as well with a medium frame as I can with a tank scout. I also have a proto logi on the same character but very much prefer to play my proto scout with the duvolle. The advantages are just too good and for solo playing vs proto squads I have a much higher survival rate. I go logi if I feel like running with the blob or scout if I will go hunting, both capable of dealing with protos on the opposite team. It would be the same as saying you are turning your medium into a heavy frame if you brick tank, only difference is having a smaller hitbox and not able to equip the HMG plus some higher speed.

Please tell us all: without having any profile or scanning bonuses on your 'light' suit, what difference did that suit possibly make to your game over what any medium suit could not have done equally as well or even better? Is it possible that perhaps because you knew your weaknesses in a light suit, you played more strategically and more flankingly and if you played in the same manner using a medium suit, you would do even better because you could tank more and carry more DPS?
