EPTThe lack of scouting ability is just so massive cause the response zergs could do from misinformation is lethal and they can even play mindgames with cancelled lair or even cancelled spire (i forgot which game that was). Like terran doesnt have the scouting problem. Neither does zerg.
Another thing is probably anti-hydra bust map design but idk what would that look cause i remember those map design you can also be contained easily.
But like other than buffing protoss scouting directly through a patch (which opens a can of worms) then it has to be from map design.

I never understood the scouting problem in PvZ. Especially with players that have 200-250+ "E"apm. The only time scouting zerg should be hard is when zerg goes 9 pool speed or overpool speed. If the probe gets in zergs main and zerg doesn't have ling speed, it's not very hard to run around, juke and jive and mineral click at home to avoid the non-speedlings until zerg has 100 gas for lair. Zerg can't really delay lair until the probe dies as the first corsair or two will wreck havoc until scourge are out. No lair = pretty much only hydra or eco cheese. Bisu keeps his probe alive for 5 minutes. Corsair is out around 5:20 - 5:30 with forge FE. A little slower with gate FE. If there's no lair, I don't see the need to make more than 1 or 2 corsair.

You say that but several better players than you aka top protoss pros cant consistently scout with probes which is their only option pre-corsair and dies alot to lack information even when try hard to scout.
