Actually, no. Cloak users are predictable and generally don't know how to play the scout role. They tend to rush into the heat of combat, hoping to get a few kills only to be laid to waste for not playing tactically. I've said this before, but I've killed more cloaked Scouts than I have uncloaked.

The uncloaked Scouts are the ones who generally stalk their prey, pick their fights, and run away if the situation is not in their favor. However, cloaked Scouts that know how to play their roles from experiences of not having cloaks make me crap my pants. There are only a few that I've encountered and I respect them for not being scrubs.

I literally kill cloaked scouts on accident. I'll just be shooting at a guy and a cloaked scout will walk in between us and I'll see "HEADSHOT +60" appear lol

In a few weeks these players will probably be using fat suits and there will be a lot more heavies on the battlefield.

This is very true, cloaks require success with less skillful play. They cover up poor gameplay mistakes, which include lack of awareness, lack of skillful movement around the map, lack of being selective in engagements. They cover mistakes by reducing the penalty for gameplay decisions while on top of that provide an advantage offensively which isn't deserved. So high risk play isn't punished. Resulting low skill gameplay provides high reward for unskilled player/gameplay by simply using a cloak.

This is why so many scouts love cloaks because they aren't "wasting time" trying to move around the map strategically and pick the right opponents to target. There's no secret that cloaks are a crutch to scouts, but many scouts belief they deserve it because they've "mostly suffered" through previous patches. This is untrue, scout did fine before and would do well in 1.8 without a cloak because they were given a boost to equipment and modules.

There should be no item which rewards poor gameplay while providing an offensive advantage to these players. There is no reason or justification for cloaks, scouts don't require one to be successful and it compensate bad play too much. Scouts are in denial of the superiority cloaks provide for nothing. There is no risk, no drawbacks to using a cloak and only advantages to equipping one. CCP should remove the cloak because it unjustly rewards poor play.

A clear example of "things you shouldn't do when cloaked"

This game is chock fukn full of people who can't fathom where the lanes of fire are. The worst is when a blueberry walks in between your fire and the enemy absorbing most of your rounds only for him to get killed and you shortly after in a middle of a reload.

I just want to bitchslap those idiots

Compared to day one and two of 1.8, the amount of cloak users seem to be decreasing. I'll give Dust two weeks before the battlefields are normalized with a good amount of all roles.

I love fake scouts with cloaks. I passive them down, act all nonchalant, then magsec whie they wait for me to turn my back.

Your cloak does not make you invisible to my scans. Seriously, it's almost cute sometimes, especially when you don't fight back. Seriously, I'm injured from killing your heavy, you have no better chance to beat me and you still try to run or hide when I stare at you.

See forum go'ers this is just the worst type of post.

Someone who just can not wait to nearly break their wrist patting themselves on the back about how "elite" they think they are.

Uh.......... I wish I could downvote post.

My shotgun scout isn't working anymore that's for sure. I had to switch to a combat rifle.

Really? I have been wrecking kids with mine oh how I love you proto shotty *pets it*
