It sounds like you aren't dampening enough. If you are using a scout suit and are being hunted by enemy scouts, put some dampeners on.
If you aren't picking up enemy scouts on radar switch to a suit without precision enhancers. Your presence has forced enemy scouts to fit damps, they won't know you've switched suits.
If you are trying to fight scouts without a scout suit, sticking close to teammates is the key. |

Thanks, thats what I did, proto galente, but always ended up shotgun'ed, so I am speccing into amar, at least I dont have to care being detected if I see them, its one way or the other, sadly even at level 3 there is still scouts I dont pick up, at what level will I be able to pick a gallente with 3 proto dampeners (they would still have 1 slots left for armor)...
You can't pick them up. This is the important point. As you have rightly pointed out, scanning is very powerful. That is why scouts are designed so they can be invisible to radar. If you are both invisible to radar, neither has the advantage.
I think I understand how you feel. I have recently been using my assault suits since the buff. Playing without scout EWAR capabilities is like loosing a comfort blanket, you feel very vulnerable. But I have adapted. It is a different way to play, you need to stick with teammates and always be ready to react to signs of a scout attack or a blue glow. I am learning to trust in the assault suits great mix of hp, damage and speed.
In short, learn to fight without radar. The counter to a scout is not the tacnet.
A competent proto Gallente scout is no harder to defeat than a competent proto assault or heavy. And a competent proto logi will be more helpful to a good team than anything else. |
