i dont think cloaked 100% will matter. MC just has too many positives. Teleport to hive, early silence adren for spore spam. sc is nerfed once they get a1 and an obs and dcs are just silly, u can do cara skulk rush, and yea mc is the best
They changed scan so it's 7 uses per obs. Rediculous. Back in the old scanning ways, sensory first could still work, but now a good comm removes the biggest advantage of sensory first 100% of the time with just one (two is generally overkill) obs.
That's not how to balance a game... either the aliens are cloaked and invincible or the marines have too much anti-cloak power.
How is anyone supposed to balance that? Remove the obs and sensory first would rock... but as it stands the price drop of the obs and cheapness of scan makes sens first unviable again.

Second, i think it's a pro-con thing. There are pro's and con's to each chamber, and most people just prefer mc since they don't want to take the risk of sc.
