Map design is a big problem, but also stability. No 150 scout has above 40 stability which is a big problem imo

I like the mida multi tool quick shooting fast reload only negativ is the katalysom you only can optain in crucibel on rank legend of the 3 v 3 mode 😪😢

Why? Most maps are small to medium sized, with very few places for the range of scouts to make any difference. Most shorter range weapons will kill faster than scouts, and you can use them effectively all of the time on every single map without having to worry about long range engagements. Scouts barely flinch. This mainly matters when going against other longer range weapons like pulses and snipers. If you hit someone with a scout it’s hardly going to flinch them, meaning that they will likely be able to get shots off that will make you flinch a lot more, and in the case of a sniper they’ll easily headshot you making long range effectively dangerous for scouts. Basically scouts are useless at range unless there are no snipers or you’re in a position where even longer range pulses won’t hit very hard, which is an extremely rare scenario. Scouts also get flinched, probably more than any other weapon in the game. This might just be a me thing, but whenever I get shot when using a scout I get flinched so much that I find it difficult to get back on target. It’s almost like scouts receive the same flinch as snipers, but unlike snipers they don’t flinch towards the head. This combined with scouts not flinching other players results in many lost gunfights. All these things combined lead to scouts being bad in pvp. You can’t use them long range because snipers and sometimes even pulses are more effective. You can’t use them close range because other guns will have a faster and easier to achieve ttk. So where do you use them? Mod range where any other primary is more effective? It’s almost pathetic how useless scouts are. Under the right circumstances they can be decent, but chances are those circumstances won’t happen often and using literally anything else would be more efficient. Scouts used to be good in d1, and were my favorite weapon type to bring into pvp. I don’t know what happened between then and now, but bungie needs to do something about it.

Map design is the main problem, only a couple I can think of (equinox, Vostok, maybe midtown) where their range actually gives them an advantage. One hit kill low flinch high aim assist snipers don’t help their case either. Sky burners oath is like the worst gun in the game too lol, far worse than even blue scouts.

Small Maps sizes and gap closure rate.

150s are the best scouts right now. Same optimal TTK as 150 hand cannons. Maps are the problem. There's almost no long enough ranges at all. There's really almost nowhere you'd need a scout's range / zoom level and so a hand cannon does the same job but is also easier to handle in the close ranges. I don't really see it changing unless bungo implements longer range maps, or drops scout TTKs by a large amount.

Because everyone wanted a crutch-cannon meta, and that's what we got.

Try out a well rolled Black Scorpion or Randy's, they're quite potent. Also 150RPM scouts have the same TTK as 150 Hand cannons, so maybe put in a bunch of time on your favorite 150Scout (Jade Rabbit slaps).

Because of flinch. Not only are anti-flinch mods extremely powerful, but D2 does this thing where flinching an enemy player will actually drag their reticle TOWARDS your face and line up a headshot for them. You can nail a sniper two times in the head with a high-impact HCR scout and he will easily dome you like nothing happened.
