Even with profile dampeners, and not being scanned, just see you as an obvious target ad kill you from far away.
Cloaks require you to stand still if you really want to stay hidden, and they are vulnerable to scans. I see cloaked players standing still often enough with my passive scan alone. Often trying to bad tanked fit... There are easy tactics to making cloaked players exposed. Try a grenade if you are unsure, just as if you thought there might be some RE's hidden. They do run out, you could try standing still like a person did with me yesterday. He just waited out my cloak time.
Plain and simple, there are work around and tactics to use. Quit crying for hand holding and try thinking and figuring out the balance.
Why does anyone even use a cloak, when they obviously don't really work? Hives and Uplinks are more useful.

So, wait, it keeps hacking when you turn around?
I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!!

So, wait, it keeps hacking when you turn around? I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!! No but starting the hack tricks people into checking the console out making sure its okay. A variation is to stat the hack walk out of the nook and watch a guy round the corner and blind shoot into the nook thinking there is a scout there.
I think most people prefer:
1. Hit button, become invisible.
2. Go find people.
3. Shoot them while still largely invisible.
4. Go invisible again.
5. Repeat until team is cloned out despite hacking statuses.
