And yeah, running away is a plenty good method of dealing with it, because if you are good at running away, they won't catch you - I guess unless you're their target and they have extra incentive to chase you down. But if you're not, they'll weigh chasing you down against their objectives/every other oblivious person they could kill instead. If you're not good at running away, maybe learn to be good at running away? I don't know, man. You could just whine about it, instead, though.
Also - and please don't die of shock - death is part of SS13. You can die just as easily from about a million other traitor items/non-traitor items, so I really don't understand your particular issue with cloaks.
I like how you didn't answer my question at all.
The difference between the Cloak and most other traitor items, for example the Sabre, is that the Sabre does not make you immune to melee attacks: you can still disarm a Saber-wielding traitor, slip them up and make them drop their Sabre, or just get in a lucky stun-punch. Against a Cloak none of these work. If you have no thermals (most of the crew) or a gun (most of the crew), your only option is to run.
