Until wallhacks are removed from this game, Scouts will always be favorable for slaying. Knowing where the enemy is through walls while simultaneously being invisible to them completely negates any HP differences. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand how FPS games work. Again, until such time that CCP removes the wallhacks, Scouts will remain the best pubstomping suit.

PC is a different case because it's likely everyone's running dampeners and sticking together. In those cases suits like the Assault become viable because engagements are based around teamplay and pushing objectives, and not just outright slaying. If you're constantly running with a squad that scans and backs you up and you run dampeners to remain off scans, the Assault suit becomes really good. For lone wolfing, Assaults get wrecked because of EWAR.

YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING ON TACNET WHILE CLOAKED!

Also, to attack an enemy, you have to have enough HP to survive them attacking you back, unless they are AFK. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand how FPS games work.

If EWAR is removed, then all suits will have to have homogenized HP pools. EWAR is the only thing making the scout even close to good at slaying.

I legitimately cannot see how scouts are OP at all...they literally have nothing aside from passive scans easily beaten by an active scanner, and better dampening than anything else. All at the cost of module slots, and huge amounts of HP.

Give me some numbers as to why the scout is OP, without pulling **** from your ass.

Make a light suit thats designed for slaying.

Good players flock to high mobility suits, which is why the scout generates so many tears.

If you want to make a slayer suit that good players will use, make something that is fast, agile, regenerative, and small.

Seriously.

My dream suit would be a "Light Commando", which is the same as a scout, except it would be colored either black, a dark orange, or a dark purple color.

It would have the same H/L slot layout as its scout counterpart, but would only have one EQ slot, and no grenade.

It would have two light weapons.

In terms of base stats, it would have a much lower scan profile than a scout, but much less scan range and precision (something like a Logi's base scanning stats), but also slightly more health.

It would have a higher base movement and sprint speed, and better stamina, by a small amount compared to the scout.

It would have equivalent regen to the scout.

For bonuses, the role bonus would be a small bonus to dampening, so that at level 5, with level 5 dampening, it could dodge all non-Am scout passives without a dampener

For the racial bonuses:
A: 5% reduction to armor plate movement speed penalties
M: 5% biotic module efficacy per level
G: +1 armor per second
C: 5% shield recharge rate per level

Yes, it would be OP. But then people couldn't complain about "cloaky crutch users".

I can't be biased: I have both a scout and assault at proto, each maxed. If the scout is nerfed, it only buffs my assault, and vice versa. I have no reason to say anything other than to promote game balance.

Also, why didn't you respond to my actual post?

Are my points too correct for you to try to debate?
