Some utilization vs zerg's late game air, some utilization vs early terran pushes when p is going fast carrier. Obviously this is rare, but improving scout's dmg / vision range and hp/shield could make it useful in other parts of the game. | ||

It's actually semi viable even at pro level. You shouldn't do it every game, but it can be a nice way to shake things up once in a while. | ||

Almoust every task scout can do can be done better, cheaper and safer by other protoss units. Only thing I would change is buffing his ground attack a bit (either by range or few more attack power) but thats actually it. | ||

First, their range and acceleration sucks. Second, they don't auto heal like drones and probes. Third (and most important), they fucking mine slower than drones and probes! | ||

Well it was Sziky at his peak form back then when he had an decent win rate vs ex pros, Does anybody know much have scout builds been explored previously? | ||

But you also have to take into account how this would change other builds. For instance I would be interested to see if a strat that relies on bunker repair would still be viable vs toss if they lowered the SCV's health. | ||

I don't care about balance or whatever because its mostly an issue of maps these days, but I'm sick of every thread turning into a balance whine thread. | ||

I'm happy we're finally at a point where we realize that Blizzard aren't infallible. And there's a difference between acknowledning balance issues (that objectively exist) and suggesting they should be "fixed". Because "fixing" something always leads to unintended consequences and I personally wouldn't trust Blizzard with that. | ||

I don't care about balance or whatever because its mostly an issue of maps these days, but I'm sick of every thread turning into a balance whine thread. There seems to be a social stigma in the Brood War community about discussing balance changes. I think it's come half from acceptance that Blizz won't be balance changing and half from balance change threads usually devolving into poorly thought out arguments. I don't think it should be something avoided. If people are rational and open to ideas then it can lead to a lot of good discussion. | ||
