Does a FOTM exist? Or is that people are so used to there being a FOTM that when balance is achieved they accuse the thing that annoys them most as FOTM.
Take clacks for example.
Do you see over 50% of the enemy team using them? Like you did the rail rifle.
1-3 people use clacks on each team usually. They are the ones you remember killing you because it can be very sudden.
Now how many people use nanohives, uplinks etc. Their used more than clacks. So why is the clack FOTM.
The answer is its actually not. Its beeing used as often as other equipments being used. Its effects can just be more sudden, so remembered easier.
Balance is pretty even at the moment but because their so used to a FOTM. They try and accuse something of being FOTM and the most sudden and remembered is cloak + shotgun.

It depends what the F means in FOTM. (Go on; make a "your mother" joke. Haha, you are of supreme wit.)
If it means "Fit", then I am really not sure. There are a lot of Gallente Scouts running about so there are a lot of Caldari Scouts running about trying to counter their better stealth. I actually REALLY like this. It provides clear examples of "who has the fitting that will help them most in X situation?" A brick tank Gallente might be really good if you are caught in a firefight but an E-War Caldari Scout knows where you are.
If the F means what it means in most other games, "Flavor", absolutely there is a huge FOTM. Cloak Scouts, period. Cloaks are new and people want to try out new things. The cloak has also given a huge boost to Scouts, a role that most people have no tried before so it is compounded.
When/If Assaults get something of their own that makes them better "soldiers" than Logi Slayers (and to a lesser extent brick Scouts) like a Jetpack, deployable shield, or a riding-dinosaur with flamethrowers strapped to their sides I am fairly certain they will be FOTM as well.

Is there a FOTM? Don't know, tbh, but if there is then it a hella lot less pronounced than heavies/RR, for example.
But i would say there's a module of the month, and its not the clack, it's the cmpx profile damper. And that's a good thing.

I run half Commando half Scout with 2 sidearms atm. I can see no pattern in what kills me the most.
I think determining what is FOTM could be done by recording what kills you. Suit and weapon are displayed at death. Then comparing the numbers by yourself and with other players. That being said you must consider what you run too. If the Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock scheme works, you should be killed by different suits and weapons more often, if you run specific fits.
So if you redline snipe all the time, chances are you are only get killed by countersniping. etc.
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.

Fotm is creating an alt that never leaves the academy, recruits every player in each battle and locks people into the corp by assigning roles at a 99% tax rate.

If anything, it's sentinels with HMGs.
Not only are they more common than shotgun scouts, but they kill shotgun scouts the easiest.

Gallente scout with anything, really. But that's more to do with assaults not having found their niche yet. But i don't think the peeps who skilled into Gallente scouts are ever gonna regret their choice, maybe with the exception of some former Minjas who couldn't wait for their suit to be fixed.
In the long run everybody who runs scout is prolly gonna have Gallente, Caldari scouts skilled up anyway for filling specific roles.

I see the most of these three things:
- Heavies with an HMG.
- Caldari Scout to counter cloakers. Usually with a medium to long range weapon.
- Gal Scout to counter the Cald Scout. Usually with a shotgun.
These three compose about half of most teams and you will see at least a few of each every match.
Most of the assault suits I see running around have very squishy fits, making me think they are newer players. Not all, just I run into a lot. |

Shotgun Scouts are lots of fun and are making a comeback for the first time since Chrome.
But are they currently FoTM?
If FoTM is measured by popularity, I'd likely say yes.
If FoTM is measured by imbalance, I'd have to say no.
Prediction:
Folks will migrate towards the Sentinel and the Tank once the newness of cloak fades.

I'm fine running Gallente scout without a cloak even. I find myself running into fatsuit sentinels with HMGs or light weapons almost all the time. Matter of fact two days ago, the other entire team except for one guy was all running them.
Always the last person to leave. Always the one cleaning up people's messes.
