one very obvious point that you forgot is that the scout's name is scout, which should give it at least one extra point, as blizzard obviously intended it that way. just read their strategy guide online and youll see.

I think most of these questions are not important in real game and pretty useless. Why would a scout gain an advantage because it can take down a nexus? Would a person seriously use a scout or even a group of scouts to take down a nexus? No because it would take forever. The only useful question here asked is 'Can this unit fly by a turret without dying??'

You're taking things way too seriously!

Great read! haha!


I don't think anyone would put this much amount of time into measuring and calculating (those info pics up there) just for troll purposes....well at least I wouldn't expect people to

Observers can be seen by tanks and tanks can't see scouts?

Group them with a stuck dragoon you get every game due to your fail pylon/gate placements. Then they won't unstack.

you should ask if they can stop a turret from shooting them:

observer 1
scout 0

I'm not quite sure how to take this... Seems strangely irrelevant to gameplay.

Genius! With the observer's detection and the scout's powerful ground attack, you'll be able to take out groups of burrowed hydras you encounter while scouting.

Hey, you can totally make a victory fleet of observers. It'll just look kind of shimmery to the other player though.

You can pretty much count on your opponent mistaking your observer victory fleet for mass DTs and gg out of panic immediately after, it happens to me all the time.
