In my book scouts have gone from UP to OP in 1 patch.
Maybe its just the killing power of the shotguns up close that is so aggravating. The combination of scouts being able to cloak and now avoid visible and radar detection most of the time and being able to deliver devastating damage up close is very frustrating as a heavy. It seems in many ways too easy for a scout to kill me these days. They just wait for me to start jogging along my merry way walk up behind me aim for my head and wham 3/4 of my total hp's are gone (I have about 1200 ehps) then wham 2nd shot and i am dead.

No, it's their profile, scanners got overnerfed. ALL scouts must be scannable. With the Gal Logi bonus I SHOULD be able to scan all, but I can't scan the Gal Scout with 2 Comp.Damps. Buff the scanners a bit, lower their cooldown, keep the snapshot, INCREASE Scout profile SLIGHTLY. The Gallente scout should be unscannable.... to every suit BUT the Gallente Logi, and maybe the Caldari Scout.

' ALL scouts must be scannable.''
Talking about crutches huh. I dont see how someone with a Proto Gallente scout, level 5 profile dampening and a complex Profile dampener like myself should be scanned easily by scrubs with -+ million SP spent in active scanners.

Want to scan scouts, Go Caldari Scout.

''The Gallente scout should be unscannable.... to every suit BUT the Gallente Logi''
Let me guess.You run a TANKED GAL Logi and are tired of getting killed because of your lack of =
1) Gun game
2) Awareness

No the gallente scout is dedicated for profile dampening. The gallente scout deserves to be unscannable, hile the other s need to overstack profile dampeners to try and avoid Gal Logi scans.
In other words GT*O trying to get Active scanners OP'ness back, there was a reason scouts couldn't do s*** before and why EVERY SINGLE one and their mother ran a scanner...

You're right, you shouldn't be able to scan Gallente scouts using multiple complex dampeners. NO ONE should unless you run some suit using a bunch of precision enhancers. That's the whole point of speccing into that suit; complete stealth and sneak attacks. I can say the same thing in reverse. You as a Gallente logi think that you should see absolutely everything with an active scanner making you visible for only 5 secs while I'm lit up for up to 30, no matter what and at extended distances even, but nobody should be able to escape your scan. Always the last person to leave. Always the one cleaning up people's messes.

Man that was an excellent post Checkmate. Couldn't agree more. I was someone who used to rely on the active scanner crutch myself as I always carried one. I adapted and am so glad they're nerfed to nowhere what they used to be. Always the last person to leave. Always the one cleaning up people's messes.
