Let me extend my heartfelt, deeply sincere sympathies to you, as you complain about not knowing where the enemy is in a thread dedicated to buffing cloaks... Seriously, I still get killed by de-cloaking shotgun scouts more than often enough to opine that cloaks don't need a buff. The suggestion that they are underpowered, should be ridiculed. On those rare occasions when I do spot a cloaked scout (as opposed to simply being assassinated by one, having had no idea he was present until I was down) they still manage to get away pretty frequently because of their speed. How about scouts gain the Gal logi scan bonus, and lose the cloak bonus and second equipment slot? Then you'd be scouts instead of ninjas. So your whole argument is based on the fact that you get killed by shotgun scouts, maybe that is a shotgun problem. Also- you do know that losing the cloak bonus makes the cloak unusable by everything. I'm not making an argument. You are. Badly. Your argument is a form of special pleading: you want to have an easier time telling where your enemies are, while making it harder for your enemies to know where you are. Do you really not understand why getting what you want would be terrible for the game's balance? Do you not understand why complaining about having "no clue where the enemy is" in your 'buff cloaks" thread isn't persuasive to any of the players who don't run scouts? I'm glad you made this thread though, so Ratatti can be reminded of why cloaks are in a pretty good place, and don't need to be buffed at all.
Rattati himself has actually mentioned making changes, and being open to changing the EWAR constraints in some way among other things.
The fact is, the cloak as it stands is a waste for many players.
It neither truly hides you, nor does it let you retaliate once seen.
The delay is glitched such that you don't have to actually have the cloak active, only equipped, to experience the delay.
If, God forbid, you sprint too soon after switching from cloak, not only do you have the delay (cloaked or not), but the game somehow switches you back to the cloak, forcing you to go through a delay AGAIN.
The combat nature of the cloak was an issue. The intended use of the cloak is to cross open ground safely for suits that have significant HP disadvantages.
The cloak is no longer fulfilling its role as intended and it is not a mistake to try and rectify that.
I don't think Rattati wants a useless cloak anymore than he wants an OP one.
As much as you think that he will think it in a good place and ignore us, I suggest that if he looks at his data and sees that the cloak is being under utilized, or significantly negatively influencing those that use it, he will just as likely ignore someone claiming the cloak is in a good place.

Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.
