DUST Search - SCOUTS ARE OP

There's really nothing you can do about them. Scans don't work because all Scouts can get underneath even the best active scanners, they move so fast they basically dodge bullets (which is sillier than Myrofibril jumps), and then you have the fact that just about all of their weapons have such high alpha damage that there's nothing you can do unless you're conveniently facing them when you're being shot.

So then CCP listened to the Nova Knifer whiners over in The Barbershop, who basically grabbed pitchforks anytime anyone had a differing opinion, and nerfed backward movement speed saying "it doesn't make sense" / "other FPS games" / and "nova knifers don't like it".

But alas, here we are, trying to shoot these little bastards who strafe so quickly that bullets just phase through them. Don't see a 15% reduction to strafe speed across the board, oh no, no-one in The Barbershop asked for it so it ain't gonna happen.

I'm sure they'll instantly take off in popularity in PC now that HMGs got nerfed and a year from now someone will finally get around to looking at the Data, see the extreme favor toward their use, and suddenly get the bright idea that maybe they're a little too good. Or I could just be insane, need to "stop scrubbin and git gud", and just accept the fact that this is the permanent meta.

Look how much attention this thread is getting. Remember the days when "Scouts are OP" threads would pull thousands of replies and tons of activity? It's a ghost town in here. Nobody cares. So either produce substantial evidence that scouts are overpowered, or be ignored. Stabby-stabber extraordinaire Gû¼+¦GòÉGòÉn¦ñ I stabbed Rattati once, you know.

I can do this too, watch: I'm honestly just fed up seeing entire teams of Assaults in Pub Matches just auto-win. There's really nothing you can do about them. Guns don't work because all Assaults can get ridiculous amounts of HP, they move so fast they basically dodge bullets (which is sillier than Myrofibril jumps), and then you have the fact that just about all of their weapons have such long range that there's nothing you can do unless you conveniently get the jump on them. So then CCP listened to the assault whiners over in GD, who basically grabbed pitchforks anytime anyone had a differing opinion, and buffed assaults saying "assaults should be bread and butter" / "they're not good enough" / and "scouts are OP". But alas, here we are, trying to shoot these bastards who tank so hard that you can't kill them. Don't see an eHP reduction across the board, oh no, no-one in GD asked for it so it ain't gonna happen.

Or I could just be insane, need to "stop scrubbin and git gud", and just accept the fact that this is the permanent meta. I could do one for heavies and logis too. If you want one for commandos it'll cost you extra. Stabby-stabber extraordinaire Gû¼+¦GòÉGòÉn¦ñ I stabbed Rattati once, you know.
