I think the problem has been hit detection. As originally conceived scouts were supposed to be uber fast with god-like strafing ability. Now, in early beta it came to a flop as the perpetual problem with hit detection that Dust seems to be never able to rid itself of was in full bloom. To save hit detection scout speed had to be nerfed, and since that it has been established that it's near impossible to raise scout speed w/o running into terrible hit detection problems and that's why speed tanking is dead.
Nerf TTK on AR and SCR and scout is gonna be ok-ish again even with CCP's aimbot still there.
Oh, sht! I just learned you can make a signature! Thanks, CCP! Forums are getting better!

After reading a lot of ppl going back and forth about TTK, AA, hit detection and speed tanking I felt the need to tell the obvious:
If you did not realize, there is no 'hit detection' in Dust514: it's an illusion - it's part of AA mechanic where the computer drags your reticle toward the middle for a large hit box around the actual suit hit box - that 'AA magnetism box' that sets off AR barel drag toward the target. Once you aim down that magnetism 'hit box' the computer knows that it's supposed to drag your AR aim to the center - i.e. the actual drop suit with it's native hit box in the middle of the big magnetism AA box. Once this condition is met that computer knows to start scoring hits against the target as it knows that AA theoretically had enough time to drag your AR aim toward the magnetic center (the real hit box) - all the while you actually don't have to hit the true small hit box. So, it's just a special effect, not a true phenomenon of you hitting the drop suit you are aiming at with your bullets.
Effectively what AA does except the obvious of bringing your aim toward the target is it blows up the size of the hit box while giving you the illusion that you are actually aiming and hitting the original drop suit hit box.
I hope my explanation makes sense, I am happy to comment more on it if needed. The important part is that true hit detection has not been fixed and if you raised scout speed that fake hit box would have to be blown up to big. This would make it really obvious that the real suit hit box and the effective AA hit box are not the same thing - it will be too obvious that you don't have to hit the suit to score a hit.
