How freaking lucky can scouts be. They are supposed to be stealth, kill a couple mercs but not be superior to everything. -_-
Don't get me started with the strafing but the counter to strafing is the flaylock >:D or the Bolt Pistol would be a better choice but my shots miss oh well.
So you emptied two weapons in and he didn't die?
Yeah, has to be an OP scout, couldn't be problems with gun game.
Also, strafing is a problem, with no inertia or acceleration built in, but this is a problem across the board. It is just more easily visible with scouts because of speed.
It would be more reasonable to say strafing is a problem, lets fix the strafing and acceleration phyisics. It is unreasonable to say strafing is a problem, scouts can strafe, lets nerf scouts.
Brick tanking is also another issue. A scout is a scout not a dame assault. If scouts want to be assults then spec into Assaults. How effin hard is to spec into assaults like wtf. The BS problems with scouts weren't like this before but now its just a parasite that needs to DIE!!!
This is your problem, you have allowed yourself to become so angered by them that you can't see balanced solutions to real problems.
You just generalize the issues that scouts sometimes exacerbate and call it a day.
Scouts have, for a very long time, supported common sense changes for tanking. This does not mean that scouts shouldn't be able to tank at all, simply that if they do so, that they should be less successful.
I tried to find the post someone made comparing their fully tanked, no EWAR scout to their Assault, and they found the scout to be a full 1m per second slower, and with an HP that their Assault could easily attain with the right mods, while being faster etc. So I would argue that this sense that scouts can out play assaults in a slayer capacity is incredibly flawed.
If you REALLY want to fix the problem, maybe get over your butt hurt, objectively assess the issues, and make some common sense solutions that bring balance to the game without negating the roles you hate just because you hate them.
