In all seriousness though if you can win by going mass scouts you're more or less masturbating on his broken body. Fairly unnecessary. | ||

With 6 scouts you can mutamicro to one-hit-kill drones (they have 8 ground attack, or is it 12 and wraiths have 8 ~_~?). With 8 scouts, you can mutamicro to one-hit-kill overlords. Let's say you get 4 scouts quietly because you know your opponent is going hive with no hydra upgrdes. That's not that unreasonable at all, as scouts demolish guardians, and you can use them in a scout/dt combo against ultraling. If you're a bit ahead but still wary of something (maybe you opened sair/dt->expo and have stargate already), then sure, adding scouts can be fun and a bit useful. The OP did say "fun to use" in the first post--just because something else is more fun to you or whatever doesn't mean he deserves to be that bashed. | ||

also as mentioned before you can harass his drones,i love harassing their gas drones cuz their spore never protects the gas,there is always an angle from which you can shoot while not get shot at. | ||

not only can you harass and force the zerg to build spores, scouts are good vs air units and they also distract hydras/scourge/mutas in a big fight, making them easier to storm and 3 -4 scouts are probably the last thing the zerg expects midgame/lategame and can fool the z into making too many hydras/spores/scourge to counter them, which is really a good thing for p, and if u have a lot of minerals scouts are just a little bit more expensive than corsairs mineral wise. of course mass scouts completely suck unless ur wayyy ahead | ||

Mass scouts vs. mass hydras is one of the concepts that gets me to uninstall BW in the first place. | ||

Scouts will prefer attacking Hydralisks and promptly getting owned T_T | ||
