As it stands, cloak is king. Take a look at the leaderboards and note people with high K/D ratios. Then flip over to experience and check out their stealth experience complained to armor. Cloak is so abusable it's not even funny.
Is it even possible to check that? I'm in the top 50, my k/d is near 3 and I use cloak the least of all suit powers.
BTW, if you keep getting killed by cloaked players you are doing something wrong. Cloaked people are by far the most easy to kill.
Then you're the exception to the rule. I never said you CAN'T do well without cloak, just that it's very easy TO do well with it.
It's not an I-win button, thus top-tier players aren't fooled, but it's probably the closest thing this game has to one. And how often are you fighting good players anyway? This game doesn't have actual matchmaking, it just groups whoever's available. Running around cloaked gives me a 2+ KDR everygame without even paying attention. When I'm actually trying, 25-3 is a normal score.
The point I'm trying to make is that, compared to everything else in the game, cloak has the fewest and poorest performing counters. That makes it very hard on average players to fight against cloak. That makes it very, very abusable. Now maybe it's a good thing to have something with a higher skill curve, but that's a different debate entirely.
