So it seems that as of lately, I have seen some people complaining about certain operators having access to the 1.5x scopes and some that do not have them! Some of these complaints that I have read are reasonable but allot of them are made because there are people on these forums that simply do not understand the game and how every operator works and is meant to be played. So by making this forum, I will be justifying some of those valid complaints, and arguing against the atrocious invalid complaints that I have read. I will only be discussing the operators in which I have read complains for!
Tachanka
He does not need the 1.5x scope for his 9x19VSN due to fact that his DP-27 can act as a form of utility to create a line of sight or to act as entry denial to the attackers. Not only that but his Shumikha Launcher already acts as a entry denial device for to his ability to shoot multiple Shumikha's to waste the attackers time, he is also meant to hold tight angles, not long angles on site, the biggest problem that I see people doing with Tachanka is holding long angles when he is meant for CQC. Now some of you think this is unfair for Tachanka because Smoke fills the same role, why does Smoke get the 1.5x scope? Well that's because Smoke, unlike Tachanka, had 3 Remote Gas Grenades that he can easily throw from cover at medium range, not to say that Tachanka can't do that, but Tachanka's Shumikha's can also bounce off of walls meaning that he has to be accurate when firing then at certain locations, while Smokes Gas sticks onto walls ensuring accuracy and denies entry to the attackers.
Frost
She does not need the 1.5x because her weapon is already fine the way it is, 45 points of damage, a rate of fire of 575rpm, and a 34 round magazine, combined with the fact that her gadget is still lethal of placed properly because she's meant to hold angles on the site and her gadget forced the attackers to either vault over and take out the Frost but her caught in her Welcome Mat's, take out her Welcome Mat but be eliminated by the Frost upon doing so, or over think it and either Frost kills you before you get trapped by her Welcome Mat or you miss her, get caught onto her Welcome Mat and then be eliminated. And it is because she's able to do this that she does not need the 1.5x
Echo
He needs the 1.5x due to the fact that he's meant to stay on site, his gadget gives Intel and denies defuser plants, and the fact that he's meant to hold medium to long angles on the site to account being taken out so he can deny the plant with his Yokai. He's not meant to roam! Not only that but of all weapons he has one of the weakest SMG's in the game while there are other operators in the game who have weapons that deal more damage and have access to the 1.5x scope.
Alibi
She doesn't need the 1.5x because her weapon is already accurate and doesn't require much to control the recoil, if anything a proper buff would be to buff her gadget

Oryx
He needs the 1.5x scope only for the fact that he already has a low pick rate and most people do not know how to actually use him, and it is because of this that players only use him for the T-5 with the 1.5x, and although it is an amazing and very accurate weapon, removing this from him would prevent players from wanting to use him, personally I don't mind if he were to lose it but there are others that do not agree and would literally stop using him for the fact that the 1.5x is what allowed him to be picked
Those are the operators in which I have read complains about in regard to the accessibility to the 1.5x scope. If I see anymore, I will simply add my argument siding with or against the complaint rather than just edit the current forum!
