It's the Assault suits. They suck. Heavies are the best they've ever been, Logi's are as good as they've been for months and Scouts are as good as ever. Though, Assault's are bad. Or maybe bad isn't the right word. Assault suits lack a reason to to be used.
Want to be an unstoppable killing machine and kill entire rooms while taking Forge gun salvos to the face? Use a Heavy.
Want to be sneaky, fast and play well solo? Then use a Scout.
Want to help everybody be the best they can be, while raking in the ISK? Use a Logi.
??? - Assault suit?
The Assault suit lacks a real reason to use. Heck even the commando is good for sniping, the laser rifle, plasma cannon and MD. The Assault suit, there's never a reason to skill into one.

So, basic light frames with mediocre bonuses? No. Not only is it still kind of lame in comparison to scout suits, but at that point they're no longer Assault suits, just weak scouts.

Otherwise, you hit the mark exactly. I actually agree with my fellow king here.Against organized teams its now harder than ever. Sure i can cloak and go to town, but the enemy will have ALSO cloaked enemies, some even with shotgun, and whats even worst, my New Love and soon to be suit, Proto Caldari scouts XD
I agree completely, The assault needs a revamp. A reason to exist. If not , they might as well just leave logis as med frames.... That is indeed true. I run solo frequently and it's pretty difficult against organized groups. Scrubs are still easy to pick off one at a time but squads that travel together are a lot tougher, especially when someone is using Caldari scout.
It's not easy to solo in any suit, but it is a lot easier to do in a scout suit because it makes it harder for people to flank you and to attack you in a pack.

They haven't been OP for a really long time. Actually they were dethroned by the Caldari Logi eons ago.

Scouts most definitely had a role pre 1.8. O remember countless hours spent where I would flank around a large group of enemies and pick them off one by one and disappear the second anybody suspected anything. Nowadays the Assault is having an identity crisis as an awkward in between, in the middle of the Logi, Commando and Scout.
