Scouts... scouts everywhere.
Seriously, has it been like this since the cloak got released? Seems like most of the enemy team/my team is always in scout suits.

its the extra equipment slot that makes scouts stupid. they shouldnt have an invisibility and a utility equipment. you shouldnt be able to logi in a scout suit either. |

I mostly play Domination. Domination makes both teams fight in one spot instead of Skirmish have 4 to 5 Objectives and everyone running back and fourth.

There's a reason for my signature, and that reason is that I may be the only person to make a medic suit from my scout suits
Important players help all, so until scout players start equipping mediguns they're as useful as afterbirths to me.

Believe me, I'd thought about this, but I don't have nanites to 5.
Oh, would you think about that? 100% shield and armor restored to an ak.0 sentinel behind enemy lines.

not the only one. I run kin-2 nanoinjector, and to keep my team mates fighting longer, pack an X-3 Quantum nanohive.

This is how I use my scout suits. My favorite suit that I use 90% of the time has 302 total hit points and is 100% invisible on the mini-map to anyone else. Period. I skirt the edges of battle taking down unsuspecting reinforcements and CRU's/objectives when the enemy squads I can't overpower move out. I love this playstyle.
EDIT: and no I don't use a shotgun ever. Dual SMG.

You're not. I always carry a needle with me - I view myself as a combat medic on the fringes of battle - kill the stragglers, and revive those left for dead.

All scouts get down to 31.5 db with profile dampening at 5. so no you cant without 2, which lowers damage potential and if you shield tank HP. also assaults get to 36 db with a CPE, which isnt enough to pick up an undamped scout. |

I think they get to about 27 if you are at Gal/Cal scout lvl 5 and dampening at lvl 5.

Therein lies the problem.
Scouts are better at just way too many things. The things they are better at they are way too good at.
I find pretty much no reason to use my Logistics A-1 suit at all (2 equipment slots....) rather than a scout.
Scouts can: See far See well Not be seen on TACNET Not be seen visibly (kinda)
All at the same time. This is a TREMENDOUS advantage, basically always having the initiative. Pair that with OHK weapons and greater mobility and no wonder they a FotM. Adding the versatility of a second equipment slot just adds insult to injury there.
How do you fix it? IDK. The way the logi was nerfed made it so that active scanners became useless except on the gallente, so I am not keen on that method... or maybe just not a fan of SUCH a large discrepancy.

Found some stuff put together for Charlie Profile rounds up to 32 and Logi hits 32GǪ proven that ties go to scannerGǪ Logi sees others on one Complex Profile. Not my work
Yes you need two for Gal/Cal scouts

You are right: Gal/cal scout get 26.5 dB @ lvl 5 in both, 20.08 dB with 1 cmplx, 15.71 with two advanced.
Am/Min get 31.5 with lvl 5 dampening, 23.6 dB with one cmpl, 18.4865625 with two.
Oh and an assault would get a 36 dB sensitivity with lvl 5 precision and 1 cmplx enhancer.
