I smell grief...

People set a target that is at best stupid, at worst a liability. So many people use stupid fittings and gimp themselves to try and fit within a certain frame of reference that they themselves have concocted.

This game is a shooter, the goal is to win the round. Dust gives you two options in most cases, either clone the other team or destroy their MCC. The best way to perform either task is to kill and kill well. Now you complain about someone who does the job and does it well?

Sounds to me like someone is just trying to set up Babar to fail in a suit that is gimped beyond recognition, which tells me all I need to know about their character.

The issue with the Scout suit isn't that it can't be used effectively, it's that there isn't any real reason to use it. You can use it as a lightweight Assault suit, you gain some speed, a lower scan profile and come 1.8, an additional equipment slot and it works fine.

The real problem lies in the fact that Dust doesn't have or require any diversity on the battlefield. In my opinion, Scouts and Logis shouldn't be straight up combat suits. Scouts should be about E-war and gathering information while Logis should be much closer to a sapper or combat engineer, building and blowing things up basically.

Unfortunately, there is no need for any of those roles. E-war comes down who has the better mini-map and being a "proper" Logi currently consists of following heavies around with a repair tool, or being an Assault but with more nanohives, and until we see an expansion of what's required on the battlefield beyond the two things that are currently necessary (killing and capturing objectives), Scouts will be caught in the limbo of being sort of useful.
