first game, pub ambush, solo... went 16-1
skill needed? far less than using a FOTM assault scout. even popped a heavy had just turned to face me. rest its childs play to evade.
and scouts are still QQing? joke. april 1st was yesterday.
There are some who complain about bricked tanks, it's a good build that replaces a light assault class. There's nothing wrong with using your modules how you want. So don't complain about brick scouts when heavies, logi's and assault classes are all using similar tactics to maximize their TTK. Its a legit tactic that will be used until the assault class is fixed and scouts stop becoming the Logi slayer 2.0. If you think a brick tank is FOTM, you are wrong. 800 eHP is hardly hard to take down, and is only a viable build due to cloaks and not due to speed + eHP. I can turn a Logi into a more viable speed + eHP build than a brick scout, and still can equip a cloak. So don't think brick tanks are FOTM when clearly the answer are cloaks.
Ok, so I've been on forums for a week complaining about how cloaks are OP. All i can see is how scouts are so happy they are excelling in 1.8 due to cloaks, and your 16-1 is no different. The fact you think 16-1 is good, goes to show you that this isn't a common score for you, and getting such a score is not so much a result of the boosts to scouts (modules, extra equipment slot, more classes) but primarily due to a cloak covering up for your lack of skill and poor decision making.
Scouts are just in denial mode, they are so happy how cloaks have given them "skill" and scores that they just don't want their OP to end, so they deny that cloaks are the reason. Cloaks clearly cover up for poor gameplay, while going as far as to reward a scouts poor gameplay both defensively and offensively. It's an easy button straight from the CCP hospital, where most of the mediocre scouts have spent their time inside in previous patches. So, I'm glad CCP has gave you free "skill" to cover your poor play, but don't think there's anything wrong with a brick scout or a speed scout when the underlying answer is the cloak.
Scouts could excel without a cloak before, CCP gave scouts a significant boost in 1.8 (cloak not included) so scouts should have been fine without them. A skilled scout can sneak up on enemies without the need for a cloak, so a cloak is not necessary. It is a useless and crutch given to players who now adore them for their easy mode button. I can see many previously poor scouts are now excelling only because of cloaks, and not because they gained skill overnight. |
