5.2 Scouts now are nothing but field bait

from SorcererKing Forums

Scouts almost never got attacked on the map in the beta pre 5,2  (this was bad).   Now you can hardly move without everything in a 4/5 grid converging on it.  (this is worse)

I felt that it was fine before that they rarely got attacked... they're SCOUTS... it's what they do.  It's like saying, gee... the Navy Seals or Army Rangers don't get noticed by the enemy as they move through their country to their op zone.  It's because they're trained to avoid detection.  I assumed a scout would be the same and do things like avoid leaving a trail, etc. to be noticed.

Now... I think he wears neon pink, sings at the top of his lungs and wears a ton of Aqua Velvet cologne.

In 5.3 I still feel they get killed too easily. Hardly any using in making them.

Agree.  With very careful move management AND some lick you can keep him alive to collect all those chests that are now back
