You can keep firing TOWs from cover forever.

The Scout is no scout, it's more like an assassination mech. It zooms up to you, discharges a huge payload then leaves.
That's not what a scout is supposed to do.

Well you could switch the names of Scout and Reaper and still have the same situation.

Agreed, the mech itself is OP no matter how do you name it.

Personally, I wreck scouts in my Infiltrator. Grenades OP, such burst radius.

Best way to kill a scout, like any Class-A, is bait them into at least one teammate. Kinda easy to predict TOWs from one mech, much much harder from two mechs at different angles.

Needing two mechs to kill one Scout talks a lot of how overpowered the Scout is.

I'm saying Class-As in general are much easier fought with a second person. This includes the Berzerker, Reaper, and Infiltrator. Scout is the worst though, since it is the only one of these with a shotgun.

Not this fuzzy bunny thread again. The Scout is balanced. Underpowered, even. Almost irrelevant if your team has any semblance of teamwork or any ability to aim.

If you can't hit the Scout, the problem is not the Scout. It is you.
