1 I think scorpion is fine the way it is. It's balanced and thematic. I disagree heavily with the overlap with dante, they're just... not at all the same. There is a bit of overlap with ulti (stealth ambusher), but the similarities end there. Scorpion is not disposable, and thus only pick off isolated targets using AT and stealth to maneuver into a position from which it can take a bite out of opponent's force before retreating. Ulti is basically on a suicide mission against anything but heavy tanks, with only a small chance to return (only if opponent is very sorely caught out). I'd say ulti is closer to a higher weight skuttle. 1 I think scorpion is fine the way it is. It's balanced and thematic.

3 It's not played much, but I think that's because other options in the same weight range require less attention and management, while also being better against midgame comps (which is the context your first strider will usually be looking at). They tend to do very well when attention is payed to them, having the ability to snipe coms and similarly weighted striders given sufficient isolation. 3 It's not played much, but I think that's because other options in the same weight range require less attention and management, while also being better against midgame comps (which is the context your first strider will usually be looking at).

5 This all said, when I started writing this response I went off on a tangent about things that could be improved on. I've now put so much effort into it that I think it warrants it's own thread, so it can hopefully get the attention I hope it deserves while not cluttering up your thread with infinite text-wall. I'll link it here when I'm done so that the scorpion discussion is 'together' while also being compartmentalised. 5 This all said, when I started writing this response I went off on a tangent about things that could be improved on.
