All the people who are moaning about scanners i would like to know if you ever used profile dampeners. With 2 complex dampeners i can get underneath proto scanners on a medium frame suit. Hell im even so crazy i shield tank my gallente medium frame suit and put 2 dampeners, a repper and a green biotic on the lowslots. And it does work quite well cause all the muppets with scanners who spin in a circle dont see me coming. I cant tell how many times people walked past me cause they only looked on the radar.
Sure you can have much more HP then me but what does it any good if a full squad of hostiles knows your exact location? I literally never got scanned when i run my stealth class. It aswell helps to hide against tanks with their active scanners. Hell even the -10% from the skill itself is helpfull cause standard scanners cant pick you up when you have a mdeium frame or lower.
I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun

But, in order to be effective, you would have to start avoiding team- and squadmates. When everyone is being scanned around you, your profile dampening is going to be useless. You'll have to start flanking, use backroutes and attempt to just be sneaky. You're slower, clunkier and overall less mobile than a scout, who can get the same level of profile dampening with much less effort, and roughly the same amount of HP with your extra modules gimping your suit.
Then you actually go into an engagement with one of those prototype scanner wielding logis. You get stomped because you don't have as much HP. All your effort was wasted, and it's hard enough to beat proto logis using more effective scout suits.
The simple fact of the matter is that proto logis only sacrifice a single equipment slot, no HP and effectiveness at all to practically see everyone on the map at all times, while you use a ton of SP and sacrifice effectiveness just to not be seen by the scanning logi, who stomps you 99% of the time due to the previously mentioned factors. Wrong i got more shield and armor then my minnie scout alt. And getting stomped? i can pull matches off with 20+ kills with that setup cause nobody expects me. Which means i kill most of my targets before they even have the chance to turn around. Im not one of those scrubs who need 50 bullets to kill 1 guy. When i shot i hit and thats it. My fit is not pulled out of thin air. I tested it alot of times and has become my #1 choice for sneaking behind enemy lines and flanking. And my mobility doesnt gets reduced cause i dont have any plates on the suit plus the complex green biotic doubles my stamina+stamina recovery. I can allmost run from the redline to the closest objective nonstop.

The real question is, are you a good enough player to kill a proto player when his back is turned, at whatever engagement distance you choose? If the answer is consistently "no", dampening won' t help you. When you unload a full mag and and they turn aroundmand insta kill you it gets rediculous then learn to aim and dont miss 80% of your shots.
