These guys...

I've got the feeling that theyre very undervalued by many players,no matter what skill level.

They have some decisive advantages over Mangos/Onagers such as them not killing your own units,being cheaper and faster and having no"true minimum range"since fired bolts can still harm units right in their face and they dont truly need siege engineers,a tech onagers should generally have.

Theyre harder to outmicro then Mango's and have a much better chance at killing approaching calvary then their rock tossin cousin.And to 1 shot enemy archer clumps you only need about 4-5 scorps!

And testing them,it appears that 2 scorpions/H scorps deal as well at dealing with crowds as 1Mango./Onager.

If youre going calvary i see no reason besides taking out TC's to use mango's actually.
