Why?
1. People with Inherent Wall Hacks are considered CHEATERS in the FPS community.
2. Squad vision removes the need for active scanners in socket based game play, which is generally the focal point of any PC battle.
3. Active Scans notify the enemy when being scanned, Passives don't. I only bring this up because I like to know when someone has broken my dampened Assault suit.
4. Giving a highly mobile suit, like the scout, a motion sensor is just asking for trouble.
Solutions:
Short Term:
Take away the precession bonuses from scouts and give it to the commander role. A role focused more on Passive Slaying and therefore less mobile
Long Term:
Make passive scans more of "you have been tagged" rather then LOL wallhackz
As a full fledged ewar abuser, I agree. Every heavy and medium frame + 3/4 of the light frames must be able to withstand 400 to 1000 hp of damage depending on your reaction time because I'm going to shoot you in the back most of the time. And I'm going to try and do it from a position where I can get back behind cover to reposition myself using the same ewar advantage for a second attack on you if you manage to survive the first attack long enough to turn around and look at me. The only time you're going to kill me is if you happen to spot me out in the open outside of 45 meters and are good enough to shoot me while I'm moving to cover or dancing like James Brown. OR, you come around the corner facing me and I'm out of REs and don't output enough damage to kill you first, but you better be a heavy if the latter is the case because anything less than that is going to be crippled to my 20k suit.
It needs to be fixed. It's so much worse now compared to the scanarina days. Worse now than when we had team shared vision. The staring DB for scouts is too damn low, and more than the gallogi needs to be able to effectively use an active scanner. I said this when I saw the changes to scouts pre 1.8. Hell a few of us were pointing out how OP passives were when they gave the gal scout the range buff BEFORE the active scanner nerf/scout buff.
I don't think this will be fixed in dust though. We are so far down this rabbit hole and so many things would need to change on so many levels that I would hope this could be surprised if this could be fixed by legion.
