I really disagree that scouts need a buff, they are good against heavy air units (Devourer/guardian/battlecruiser/Carriers) but those are rarely used against protoss so it makes sense nobody builds scouts.

Like why are people trying to buff them so that they are like some kind of mutalisk? It's not what the unit is for

Actually I've played against lots of protoss in late games where I am using guardians against high ground defended locations and them spam corsairs which are dealing zero damage against the armour and very rarely does anyone try scouts instead despite toss often having tons of minerals in that situation

Surely there are some formats like fastest or BGH where mass carriers and BCs and or guardians sees some use and scouts can be tried out?
I remember Day9 using them in BGH exactly for that reason but in casual games

Scouts are also GOATed in late-late-game PvZ where the map is mined out and you can sacrifice some Plasma Shield HP to snipe units, buildings, and patrol-micro Scourge. Literally no other unit fills that role for P in a zero minerals scenario, which while rare at the top of the pros, does come up here and there at intermediate or above levels.
