Scouts are fine where they are at. The problem comes from pubs when you fight scouts that know what they are doing. They use tatics and teamwork and appear OP bc you and your squad refuse to find a way to counter them. You could make the claim that Heavies and logibros are OP when they sit on an objective, under cover, and you only shoot the heavy that is getting repaired. There are counters to scouts. Nobody is even attempting to run those suit builds atm bc they are more worried about total HP and , "OMG I can't 360 scan anymore!!! The scanner is junk bc I didn't want to specialize into scanners!!!!"
People don't realize FOTM is FOTM bc very few people attempt to run the counter FOTM until it is too late. With that said small tweaks may be needed but for the most part the players' inability to adapt is to blame.

But look at the Min scout. Its not in the same boat as them. It has a fair slot layout but the suits systems mean its very hard to tank so you have to eWar. And in that regard it can't compete with the other 2 major contenders
Amarr scout is supposed to tank. Thats kinda the whole point of it.
Minmatar is built for speed. Speed tanking is another type of playstyle. One of my corpmates has recently started playing Dust again after 1.8 and has had the best time he's had on Dust. He didn't know what suit to run but wanted speed/survivability. So I mentioned the Minmatar Sentinel (which most people think is junk). I told him how I would personally build it with Kinetic Catalyzers and Damage Mods. He absolutely loves it and is scary fast. Nothing like flanking an enemy with a Sentinel wielding a HMG. No one expects it which has made for some "lol", how the **** did that heavy get here so quick, moments. Nothing quite like seeing the look on their face when they realize they were run down by a heavy.
I only run 1 Enhanced Armor Plate on my Minmatar Logi and now I have to figure out a new loadout just to keep up with my Heavy Minmatar brother.

One of the counters.....there are others if you get creative.
