Sniping is still an option. This really doesn't effect that. If anything it just provides more countermeasures for those that do choose to snipe, while giving a adequate tool-bag of options for those who want to find other ways to use the suit without being forced into a singular play-style.

I'm also happy with the Scout as a whole, considering the EHP, slots and CPU/PG. With eventual minor adjustments, but the real problem is that the Scout as of now has no unique roll to fill which the other suits can't do better or equally good.

So there is no real benefit of playing the Scout as a Scout should be played.

Even the role as a Sniper can many times be executed better with basically all the other suits.

I'm not advocating any of that at all. For the large part I think the actual stats of the class should remain pretty close to what it is now (you can see I didn't say anything about changing it at all and in fact specifically mention that adjusting those stats would be a detriment and approaching the problem from the wrong angles). A closer look at my post would reveal that what I'm suggesting is more of a espionage based counter play that would eschew the front-line style game play. I think the reason scouts feel the need to want all these things is because the role they were born to play isn't available, so their looking to fill the gap with the roles they do know ARE available in the game and somehow apply it to the scout paradigm. This is an ultimately unhealthy perspective that would just muddy up the gray areas that are already known to be problematic.
