Man, if someone told me pre 1.8 scouts would be OP I would've laughed.
But here we are now...
What I do like about the cloak is it helps distinguish the role of us scouts
My issue with the cloak is it takes away some of the fun/challange of being a scout... dealing with being squishy
To be effective with a scout pre 1.8 you had to flank, wait and hide
Now you just cloak, run at enemy, decloak, shoot then rinse and repeat
That is less scout mentality and more medium frame mentality (offense intended :p)
SO, What should the cloak be for then?
Crossing open terrain and flanking, not running straight at the enemy

The whole "run at enemy" works only on those that are too inexperienced to see cloaks or just too slow to react to it. Cloaks were never a problem for me to begin with, as I have had prior experience with cloaks in FPS and killing these said cloaks.
TL;DR Cloaking works on rookies. Any vet will utterly destroy you. Personally, my largest pleasure in 1.8 is PLCing cloaked units.

Cloaks are both good and bad, IMO, since we no longer have the built-in dampening from the skill; this means we're relying on the cloak's dampening, along with a mod on top of it for good measure.

The cloak should be used for sneaking into the locker room of the Amarrian Olympic Gymnastics team.
