I'm a swiss army knife, I've tried most of everything. Had my fun with agility & stealth and got bored of it before the cloak was introduced.

Is that why the game spawns you in front of 5 heavies in an ambush map?
No, that would be due to sh!tty programing.

Heavys are just a crutch, they should be removed from the game.
Whoa now!? How 'bout we give balance a chance before going crazy? Broken things can be fixed; they don't have to be *yanked. * Notable exceptions: Vehicles in ambush, Manus's peak, CalMando's colorscheme, LLAV If you think about it, there is no tactical point to heavys. All they do is walk around and gun down anything that moves without even needing to think about how he should gun down anything that moves. Getting shot isnt a problem for them because all they have to do is turn around and that person dies. It dosnt matter if they can be scaned, they have more than enough ehp and dps to blow away anything. Nerfing heavys wont work, they will wine there fat a**es off until there OP again. So just remove them already. How bout we remove scouts eh after all they are the equivalent of what normally gets F*CKING BANNED FROM EVERY LEGITIMATE FPS EVER with their wallhack mechanic and invisibility. And if you even TRY to pretend that it takes skill to wallhack behind some one while INVISIBLE and SG them in the back, i will tell you to shove your head into a meat grinder until the stupid gets scraped off that underutilized mass of neurons that you pathetically attempt to call a brain.
To be fair, he never claimed to have a brain...

And I never said I was a scout. If you feel the need to wage war against scouts, than be my guest.
I was just making a joke, not waging war on scouts.

Lol yeah, no bias there. There are just as many scouts that think everything is fine so stop smoking weed in the stables cause your horse is too damn high.

Lol yeah, no bias there. There are just as many scouts that think everything is fine so stop smoking weed in the stables cause your horse is too damn high. Don't take my word for it, Mr. Swiss Army. There's a dense concentration of Scouts who hang out in the Barbershop. Feel free to swing by the Locker Room and ask around for yourself. As for Heavies ... have a look at all the relevant threads and balance discussions. Breakin Stuff, Fox Gaden and Vicious Minotaur shoot straight. The rest sound like Taki and Spkr discussing HAV balance.
You can't base numbers like that on the minority that frequent the forums; sampling bias is the phrase for that. If you think scouts are more righteous than heavies (which would be an illusory correlation) then you obviously haven't noticed that there are as much of one as there is the other stomping the sh!t out of medium suits.

If CCP polled mercs on balance via in-game mail, I'd agree with you 100%. But until that occurs, the Forums are this community's best bet at pointing out problems. Corroborating in-game usage statistics with forum feedback patterns is a good enough balance barometer for me. Flawed or not, it's all we've got, and it appears to be working now that Rattati's behind the wheel.
I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing your assertion that 15 out of 20 scouts will admit there is a problem; which cannot be based on the minority that frequent the forums. I'd say "15 out of 20 scouts on the forums will admit there is a problem" is fine but if I said that you'd realize I'm being a pedant about it.
