Right now there are a couple circles on the radar, with the innermost one being 20m. Out of curiosity, how possible would it be to have the circles dynamically adjust to your suits scan range, making the boundaries of the new close/medium scanning and medium/long scanning?
Also I'd like to point out again that inside the inner curve really is 20m, and scouts new normal mid scan is only 10m? So with the skill maxed it is 15m, then with proposed mod reduction to 25% you still don't even make it to 20m. From experience, inside that inner circle is useless. However, theoretically I agree that 20m is advantageous. The big problem here is that the 20m mark is so packed into that small under circle that is hard to make it out, meanwhile you have large portions of the radar showing distances you aren't even remotely close to being able to scan. So if perhaps it'd also be possible to zoom in on the radar to show only the relevant distances for you. So the edge of the radar should show your max range, and draw a line proportionate for where the short/medium and medium/long cut off is.
E.g. If your short scan is 5m, mid scan is 10m, and long scan 20m then the edge of your radar should show 20m, a circle going right through the center showing 10m, and a circle going through 25% of the radar depicting 5m.
SUMMARY
1) If possible, have the radar adjust to your fits scanning range
2) Radar should have two interior circles to clearly define your scan ranges
3) Zoom in on the radar to show more clearly what is actually relevant to your scanning abilities

Ok, I see the argument for not zooming in on the radar. A toggle zoom would be nice, but probably something that would need to wait for legion.
I will still say the the scouts base medium scan range of 10m is too low. Remember this is what it used to be and we buffed it? And for good reason. This added with the proposed scan range amp mod nerf and the penalty trade of relationship between precision and range . . . Not saying it's a bad idea, but when you look at where 10m actually is on the radar it is pathetic.
