But seriously I was in a match where there were two people defending a point while me and about three other scouts were trying to capture it. I had cloak and through the while time they played tactical, always watching there back and being aware of there surroundings....and they lasted the whole map keeping that point.

Scouts die pretty easy and they're not OP.
If u think scouts and cloaking is OP than u probably just suck at this game.

Well, we figured out how to run a scout squad without gimping the rest of the team.

Go into skirmish, and assign each scout one objective to either guard, or harass constantly.
That will either guarantee you hold every objective where the main red pack is, or it'll force the enemy team to spread out, causing the main blue pack to be more effective.

Gimping the rest of the team? Most scout squads absolutely ra*e the enemy team.

One coordinated squad can effectively hold 2-3 objectives against you if that's how you play it.

That's one less coordinated squad for the blueberries to have to fight.

Pretty sure its the other way around.
- scouts do not require a cloak to be effective.
- cloak provide low risk, high rewards with no drawbacks.
- they cover or limit the mistakes made by poor decisions/gameplay.
- they provide offensive advantages that are not a result of skill.
- they cover for a players lack of awareness (hacking, climbing, crossing open spaces).
- they aid scouts in closing distances, which should be a result of good angles but as just a result of a cape.
- they reduce the strategy and skill required to excel while rewarding bad gameplay
- scouts received a boost in 1.8 not including cloaks, that should have been enough for many struggling scouts.
- scouts are not suppose to be slayers
- scouts are not suppose to have an easy mode
- scout are not suppose to handily 1v1 and not be selective in choosing its targets.

And you're last point... If you suck you would actually need to use a cloak to cover up your **** gameplay. Cloaks are not required, they are not required to excel as a scout either. Scouts are not OP, they are balanced without cloaks. You provided no reasons or justification for a cloak, you just made the "eye are OP" or "you suck". The point is good players can do all the things required, it takes skill to use strategy and thought, cloaks remove those things and are a crutch used by bad players to justify their sudden improvement.

Tanker......I mean scout spotted.
