Yep all in the AA users' heads, I knew it. All because CCP once mentioned that they were "looking into the situation with Aim-Assist..." (paraphrased), guess they missed the part in that same post where CCP said they probably wouldn't actually be taking action, at least anytime soon. |

Something about being a heavy? XD
I think the proper reply is:
"When isn't there?"
Because there's always a joke about SoTa predating (insert anyone here).
It's the nature of the forums, it's the nature of SoTa. |

They aren't, OEK.
I really don't get the hypebolization of Scout Dropsuit effectiveness as well as Cloaks. |

Cross Atu wrote:I looked around in GD for a bit today...  the scout hate is strong in there. I am now confused. I do not have the strongest gun game in Dust I do not run the best slayer fits in dust (kitten, I rarely run above a STD suit) Lately I rarely even run a decently optimized fitting (for related info see the term Crossasochism) Yet, I rarely find myself killed by scouts more than assaults, granted I usually am taken down by either of those more than Sents or commandos (unless you add a logi to them) and I chuckle when a logi kills me, just like when a flaylock or LR does (oh look, one of those!) but really I am floored by the rage about scouts, I simply don't have that much trouble dealing with scout players in game (it's not like everyone is mrmustard  ). I can't possibly just happen to have a play style that naturally counters scouts, can I? I think I am going to protect my logi circuits by drinking more and going back to avoiding GD
GD is a s***storm magnet period.
Funnily enough we could go a few days without any anti-scout crap. Heck we could go a week of "y'know I'm realizing that scouts aren't a problem". All it takes is one person to complain about scouts and make false accusations and claims and the anti-scout s***storm shall cometh. And usually it's the same people who just earlier said "scouts aren't all that bad", because they're easily swayed back to "popular" or "loudest" opinion. GD is full of sheep. Many would claim to be wolves, but it is the biggest exposition of unskilled, unadaptable players who somehow managed to convince their peers that they are actually good.
How dare they get outplayed by something with less possible HP! How dare scouts have a hitbox representative of their size, they should have the same hitbox as mediums! How dare scouts rely on speed and e-war to survive in a world where whoever has the most hp and dps output generally wins! How dare they rely on alpha weaponry to kill suits that have larger hp pools in a world where otherwise dps is king! How dare scouts fit even a single HP mod to increase survivability, which seems to be GD's definition of "tanked" scout! Oh, and let's make false claims that hit detection works inherently worse against scouts. |

When are we not?
In all seriousness, most of their arguments come down to: Scout are working the way they were intended to work all along and they're actually doing okay now, nerf them because we just don't know how to deal with it because they were for the most part a non-factor pre 1.6, 1.7, 1.8. It's quite irksome that they can't/won't actually come up with a concrete argument. |

Plz lock and Nerf scouts.
That is all.
Scouts are not OP, far from it. This gross hyperbolization of our effectiveness over other classes and our numbets by non-scouts and Scouts alike need to stop. There are almost no games where Scouts are the majority in a match. There are no games where the top of the leaderboard consists mostly of scouts (unless it's a squad of our best). And the only reason Rattati and CPM frequently visit here is because this is the only real organized class-based thread/community that has remained consistently so. Ratta and CPM can easily consult us on Scoutly matters as a result, and are free to ignore certain suggestions as they see fit. Keep in mind the minute Assaults, Sentinels, etc, get off their butts and come together in an actual organized manner the more time Ratta and CPM will spend discussing Assault, Logi, etc. changes with them.
Keep in mind that Scouts as a community are actually the most conflicted on these matters. We may be united but our opinions on Scouts, cloaking, shotguns, etc. effectiveness and how to fix perceived over and under effiveness conflict so much it's not uncommon for us to get into pretty heated arguments. We're also so conflicted on what makes a "good scout" especially now that the class isn't as near-terribad as it was back in the day. As a whole we're the most democratic portion of the community, because, GASP, we discuss everything! Even our grievances with certain fits in the class being too effective or not effective enough.
Of course...not like you care you're just a trolling scrub. |
