During the skill days, Shotty made a leaderboard that listed the top scouts in the game. By kills and KDR. The only qualification you needed to be on the board, was be a scout more than 50% of the time. People like Radar, DJINN Marauder, Lightning, and bunch of old players that none of you probably ever saw in battle topped the list.
That list was the very proof to every person who said scouts needed a buff pre.1.7, didn't. There were many players in this game that could do not only good in a scout, but be great. But that wasn't enough for the greedy scouts. Scouts like Shotty himself.
They finally got every type of buff they asked for, and now the majority of frames in games are scouts (outside of starter-fits). Imagine a world that you saw 1-2 scouts every 4-5 matches. Not 10 scouts every match..
So, if that board is still these forums, someone should find it. . . because it was a prime example of CCP fixing something that didn't need to be fixed, and ended up breaking it.
Just as 1 opinion, i believe they weren't the ones that start the scout thing, let me explain it. I start playing long time ago at the beginnings of the beta (still remember that sign of work in progress, lol) and everybody at that time used assault dropsuits, simply because it was easier to shield tank (in that time) and i can remember almost perfectly that in beta time there was only 1 real scout hard to kill him was Zander Rodriguez Aka Sleepy Zan, also im sure of it 'cause in beta time it was really easy to see the players several times (because it was CLOSE BETA, lol) and i can't remember his name, from many players i fought against even in that time the "best" players Mr Zitro Omnipotens Zitro Xprotoman were the best players in beta time (in my opinion) they used the assault in the patch that was in March or April (can't remember well) the best 4 players were 1.- Omnipotens Zitro 2.-Mr Zitro 3.- Alex-ZX 4.- Xprotoman in order of bets killers with the leader board. My first role was scout because in that time it was really easy to get a proto suit also because it was nice in my opinion. (it was almost "impossible" to see another scouts) in other words i'm not saying i was the first scout but i was maybe the starter of the scouts, from March to July the number of scouts grew a lot scouts that used the Old Boundless Breach smg And if my memory is as perfect as always i was the first 1 using that combo scout + BRsmg (note: both zitros start using the same combo later in July and many others start using scouts. after time of playing ccp nerfed my beloved smg and from that time i can remember some of the most famous scout already mentioned Sleepy Zan R4adar rad Lighting Alex-ZX im mentioning this not for being mad or anything like that, but i can't remember right now (lol memory) any other scout that made me say "dam u are freaking good". maybe because of the time and that i never checked the forums in 2012 -2013 the ppl never knew me completely, also because i used to play almost 80% time solo. but this history is completely true my first post was after the first officer event July in this exactly year take this knowledge as true or leave it there are ppl like r4dar, lighting, stlcarlos, zitros, kushmir nadian, that are old beta players that can tell u about it. (note2: as i said before it isn't to say thet they weren't real scouts or less just history)
