Maybe I am still a noob, maybe its cause I am not in a heavy with a rail rifle like 90% of the people I have been coming up against in PUB matches. I watch the cool youtube videos of cyrius li moody and totally want to be a scouty lone wolf. I have put 90% of my 5.8 mil SP into scout suits, dropsuit upgrades, shotguns and pistols. And canGÇÖt do jack, I was following a heavy for 20 feet depressed about how I knew once I started firing I was going to be dead. Fired first round, took his shields out, he turns around faster than I can, fired second, half his armor is gone, I start strafing and jumping, before I get to fire the third, his (insert whatever weapon you want here, but usually a RR) kills me.
I have basic shields and reactive plates, 99 shields and 168 armor. Lately its been poor detection and rubber-banding that have been helping speed me on to the clone tank. Other times, like 50% of the matches I played last night, (I guess everyone is trying to cap out really fast?) It was proto stomp after proto stomp, one murder taxi squad was flipping using a proto scanner.
Anyho, who wants my isk, I think I am done.

learn to use RE's or get amazing with a sub machine gun.

all that frustration goes away when you watch that heavy corpse rag doll off the ceiling.

A ACR or CR Is better than a smg, I used the assault smg.

Agreed, a couple of my scouts are running assault CR with great success.

That is literally how I have to kill heavies if I can get the sneak on them, I just wished the shotgun (which seemed more powerful as the MLT verison before I started putting points into it) could actually kill something when I am 2 meters away instead of getting me killed. I should switch to knives cause I am close enough and they can 2 hit heavies, but I specced the wrong suit so I am screwed now.

Thanks all for the words of encouragement, there is so much QQ on the forums, I figured I would be in for some sh!tty replies. The things I see Moody, George666, Jolly Roger and V do are crazy. I forget that 3 months of getting instakilled is not long enough to get gud, I need another 8 months.

I literally cry for new players. I hope CCP is serious when they state that they want to make it easier to skill into things earlier and cost less to use proto. The gap between advanced and proto is a little extreme. Why no 22, to 44, to 66. Cause the 22, 33, 66 of shield extenders is just one example of a pay to win game. I can only afford to get to level 3 on shields cause then is gets crazy expensive SP so I should use AUR. ThatGÇÖs not cool, otherwise I have to do double the amount of damage that a proto needs to do to kill me?

0.8

I have games where its been as high as 8.0, I can move around, set traps and generally play the scout well, its just everyone has been playing heavies and the shotgun doesn't cut it, I suppose I should switch my pistol to the smg, but I like the slightly further range of the pistol. and its a shield destroyer.

I gotta figure something else out though, been having some straight up sh!tty games. Total proto squad stomping in PUBs are a big help my anger though.

Making sure you are still playing the game. Scouts don't quit, we just respawn. XD
