Having been on both sides of the de-cloak shotgun to the back of the head scenario I think cloaking needs a change
The issue is the most effective counter to cloaking is another scout on your team with high scan precision and this seems too much like the 1.7 build 'you need a tank to beat a tank scenario'
What I propose is a very short scan profile spike (visible to medium suits and maybe heavies) when the cloak is activated/deactivated.
This would deter the quick cloak - shotgun - cloak play that a lot of people dislike, would reward quick reactions and attention to the minimap
Thoughts?

but that's my point, should it take a scout to beat a scout? |

Also, use your eyes, and you can see a scout cloaked or not.
I am aware, what I'm proposing doesn't change that, I'm just looking for a counter to cloaked scouts that isn't more scouts |

The issue I have is on my main I'm skilled into scouts and if the opposition starts spamming cloaked shotgun scouts I can use my EWAR scout suit to counter this
on my Alt i'm skilled into Med/Heavies and if the opposition starts spamming cloaked shotgun scouts I have no counter, we can all the the shimmer in front of us but any half decent scout will not just run at you, a de-cloak spike means at least i know where they are exactly (i.e. if I'm being shot from behind is someone getting me with a CR and they're further away or is it a shotgun 2m away)
I am aware that squading up is always the solution but if i'm planning on just playing a couple of games i'd like the option to run solo
now aside from HTU, any comments on the idea? |
