I understand making the stimm lab more viable but why everything else.

Iām guessing the character has not as good of a winrate outside the top end of the playerbase comparatively. The buffs donāt really help those already destroying lobbies with the character much outside of maybe rending during rampage buff. They also stealth nerfed the explosion from shooting the floor with the needle pistol alt fire from adding tox stacks. Still, they should look at Pickpocket in the next round of changes.

Most likely because some youtuber with media access started something about āglass cannonā and it stuck. Even though it couldnāt be further from the truth. Especially with ranged scum.
Add to that most midwits being unable to get a sensible build together to save their lives and dieing a lot of time as they level and you have the perfect storm of classic DT playerbase asking for buffs.
Iād guess that poor sales may also have influenced their decision

Yeah, the same certain Tuber who when he showed off his HS builds, was clearly ignoring a lot of toughness regen, and damage resistance talents. Iām sure he was also the guy who said that Scum is a glass cannon without ācannonā or something along those lines. Well, I suppose any publicity is good publicity, right?

as soon as the masses flock to it, even a diamond in the rough turns to 
was fun while it lasted, having an anti-arbi in the form of a dlc class that actually needed skills and brains.
the more this goes on the more Iām enticed to move from black- to whitelist and boy do I usually hate premades.
seems the only way to escape them crutchlings and their cheap playstyle though 
I donāt know man. Having infinite ammo, infinite kite range and all sorts of free damage immunites and buffs that get triggered simply by playing the game isnāt exactly what Iād call skills and brains.
Not to mention the filthy screen deletion chem nades, rocket and the needle pistol provide. Itās purgatus with extra steps.
The only remotely punishing thing was rampage, but even that could be counteracted by simply popping your stim. As telopots aptly said in one of his videos: all cannon, no glass.
If you bother to read the talents, spend a few minutes in the psykanium and make a functioning build that is
should have specified I never use pickpocket and play rampage since the beginning.
proper build paired with a fitting playstyle got me through plenty good matches without having to resort on the low-end of scum spectrum.
yet even with those in place it exceeded the casuals capacity to ānot dieā as they could face roll with the arbi until then.
lotsa complaints about āscum weakā led to those unnecessary buffs
never used dueling sword or plasma, never went taunt bot ogryn in havoc or bully3 spam when it was the hot
avoiding them easy routes is a choice.
Not in the age of meta and do-what-ytuber-says. Fun and challenge are an alien concept to the modern day gamer.

pansies, old school doom player here from the time when a 486 was the rig to have.
never understood the need for cheap-shittery as it takes away any pride in ones results.
but I guess thatās what 20 years of consol-ish āachievement hunting got us

Everything was correctā¦ There was NO NEED of a buff (even for stimms).
There is need of NERFS
NERF NERF NERF
or give a solo game modeā¦ the current state of Darktide is close to garbage
Hire again the guy that knew what he was doing with combat and fire the entire combat team. They are all just amateurs
(sorry I am a little upset to see for 2 years this game running into a wall)
Probably somethng to do with general audience being unable to play scum for some reason.
That said , I like it, i played today new rampage today, enjoyed it a lot more than before. Most fun i had in DT in a while. I never liked exhaustion from it, it was limiting. One of my most played classes in VT 2, which i started playing recently, is slayer and now rampage scum really feels like local verstion of him and itās fun.

A class which needs a better player to reach other classes, at least is not OP.
Heās busy balancing HD2.
wellā¦ guess at least this way itās accurate 
weak players made scum fail and screamed for a buff rather.
thatās not on the class but getting cradled to no end and expecting every following dlc to be equally easy mode.
times were better before the power creep, thatās for sure
