Beloved Bioware, Lets defeat the cloak army

Honestly cloaking is a pretty terrible game design for any co-op game. It's just dumping aggro onto the other players, while simultaneously rewarding the cloak-er with +damage. Cloaking is for selfish players who would rather improve their own experience at the expense of everyone else. Exactly the opposite of game design you should want for CO-OP gameplay.

I feel the same way about Stealth in TTRPGs, FWIW. Terrible game mechanic for co-op play. Great for solo play, obviously.

Scrub. It seems to be a L2P issue. Git gud if you are afraid of the "cloak army".

Disagree. It depends on the actual player. Last night I ran my Turian Agent on gold a few matches and did that Rescue mission. I did my duties with plenty of revives and when certain objective waves popped up I went to handle the ones I could help make easier (devices, uploads, etc.). So yes some players can use it selfishly but that again depends on the player not the class.

They could make cloak leave behind an image/hologram/whatever that draws aggro for some time.

So you've yet to notice that your teammates will go down less if you take your share of the aggro. It circular to think that its an infiltrator's duty to revive teammates since cloaking is precisely what increases pressure on your team in the first place. Some of us can handle that extra pressure, but not everyone can. Ultimately a cloaking kit does not help the team. Devices/Hacks/Uploads, cloak can help sometimes. For all the rest of the waves it is a burden.

Harden up and play different kits if you want to show any form of decency for PUGs. (Of course, you don't have to do this..... )

konfeta has the right idea, make cloak create a shadow/decoy briefly that enemies prioritize.  To balance cloak for this extra ability, the damage boost should be changed that distracted targets receive extra damage from all sources.

Since you mentioned PUGS.  You've yet to notice that the typical player going down in PUGS is usually the least experienced and/or lowest Apex rank.  They often incapacitate in the middle of the battlefield.  Dunno what difficulty you play on, but on "harder" difficulties brute running past a group of enemies, uncloaked, isn't necessary easy, unless you just play on lower tier difficulties.  You often have a second player go down as a result of attempting to revive the first player.   Having an aware stealth character (who notices downed teammates) is useful in these situations as they can get to that player in the quickest, and most direct way.   Since all I play is PUGS, that's my experience.

So it ultimately depends on the player.    If I use an Infil; I go the Dhan route.  So I'm always at the front lines, nading the heavy targets, rezzing teammates, while handling most of the objectives.   It's fun and productive. 

And, it's a friggin' video game.   Not a code of conduct or morality issue.   

They just need to make it work like in me3 where enemies would still track you if they saw you cloak and could occasionally peak behind the curtain to find cloaked players.

PFFFFFTTTTTt.....

Get close to the doggie-like things and they can 'smell' & attack you (love their 'sniffing' animation)

Actually allmost every enemy can do that. Berserkers 90% of the time dont care about your cloak, they will just stay there you go invis and spam their flacks right into you. Too bad cloak haters dont realise simple things like this.
