Detriment is 36 elmos/s scorpion is 39 ,scorpion is the only unit in the game that gets hit by impaler while moving thanks to its abysmal speed and widest hitbox in the game.to add more insult to injury it has same hp as cyclops a unit that is much faster at 57 elmo\s and has auto targetting slowbeam.

For a unit that should be invisible it really does not take a genius to know that the scorpion that he saw 15 minutes ago is probably just now reaching a repair station.

Its cloak only helps the frst strike which is very difficult to pull of because youre effectively trying to ambush units that can move with a building

Maybe it's tad too big as well? It get hit by everything that is thrown at it.

Scorpion feels VERY vulnerable these days with mass cloaked Jacks being thrown left and right.

I don't necessarily propose a nerf/improvement, but can say that due to current balancing of 1)speed 2)angles of engagement 3)bulky hitbox Scorpion's use cases and skill cap to use are respectively very few and quite high.

i dont think scorp is very usable atm,its primary use seems to be to counter striders and ultimatum is better for that

In lob pot maybe. On the other hand, in FFA it is unquestionably the most useful strider.

I also don't think you are meant to use it like dante/paladin -- dish out damage then repair. You are better off using it on some sort of sneak mission where it will surely die -- like finding the enemy air player and killing his repairing likhos. It can also be used defensively, but there are much better options for that in pot games where attention is not as valuable a resource -- cloaked snitches, puppies, ultimatum and even widow in some cases.

I think Scorpion has its role and is arguably better than Dante at quite a few things. It naturally goes in and out of the meta as the situations it is good in vary in frequency.

Give it a D-gun selectable option of movement speed surge or mass stun :D

its 39 elmos speed just 3 elmos faster than a detriment,can barely catch a detriment how can you ambush with a unit as slow as it is,the moment it reveals itself it dies because it just cant retreat or move after engaging

I do wonder what it would be like if it was double the speed.

While youre at it i would appreciate if the "infiltration" part gets removed from its descirption.

For what it is its as blind as a mole and
its decloak radius is way to big for something that is said to be specialised in cloaking.

Every gremlin is a better "infiltrator" than that thing.
