in all seriousness... An active scanner should be ACTIVE meaning you're counter detectable as well as your blue dots that are damped. Meaning the asemetrical battle of passive occurs at the flank where it deserves to come back whilst being mindful not to light up your b berries.

Two years ago, Scannerina Permascan: "Permascan is bad!"
One year ago, EWAR Scout Permascan: "Permascan is bad!"
This year, GalLogi Permascan: "Herp! Derp! Learn to adapt!"

Personally, I completely agree that there needs to be something done about the permascans, but even you have to admit that today's landscape is much different from two, or even one year ago.

Two years ago, RRs, and CRs hadn't even dropped. A large portion of the playerbase was using ARs. A weapon not really suited for long-range combat, and TTK back then was a lot lower since anyone who basically wasn't beta either couldn't afford to, or didn't have the skills to run proto gear with maxed passives. This meant that ballerina scans made your team impossible to sneak up on, and as soon as you were spotted you were dead. You had the option of trying long-range, but you'd be really ineffective.

One year ago, the Permascan was passive, and on killers. This meant we had invisible monsters who could strike anywhere, and always know the position of every enemy. Not only did that allow them to pick off targets, it more importantly allowed them to completely evade every enemy. All of this, without even having to do anything, but give up a little EHP..... On a scout.

This year, the scout usage is down. There's a lot more long range battling, and jumping myos became a thing. The main reason that people are okay with current Permascan is because of the jumpers. It's one of the best ways to combat them. They picked what they feel is the larger of two evils. If jumping went away, you can bet more people would jump (no pun intended) on the "Permascan is bad!" bandwagon. Also, I seem to see a lot more hate for scouts these days than I ever used to, and I believe it's because so many people remember them being dominant. Now that they're in a more balanced place, people are afraid to let them rise up again.

Perhaps make any of the same scanner go into cool down after they are use.
Ex.
If you have 3 fluxes they all go into cool down after one scan however....
If you had 1 flux and 1 focused upon using the flux the focused would still be available for use.

They should apply the countdown before beeing able to use your scanner again to all scanners equipped. This way gal logis can have more than one (to adapt depending on the situation) but have to WAIT for the full cooldown of one to use the other.

2nd thing they should do is to remove directions. That is really OP and gives way too much informations on enemy positions.

Last (but not least !), scanning an area should only make snapshots of the enemy positions (every 3 seconds for example). For those who played CoD (I only played 4 and MW2so I don't know bout' others), something like the radar would be perfect.

In order to balance this, scanners should give 30 WP per scanned kill and apply to the whole team kills.

One of the more interesting proposals on scanners.

I think most people feel that they dont want scanners nerfed into oblivion but they are possibly a little too good in the right hands (Read Gall logi stacked with scanners)
