I will agree if “Scout” didn’t exist. I mean it’s like rock, paper, scissors where you can see what the other player is going to play… It’s easy to win with paper when you know that your opponent is playing rock…
So in fact it’s quite ironic: players who want difficulty are also the fans of the counter teams. So yeah it’s easy to win with the best counter.
Some players maybe don’t know but Scouting was added one year after the game release (patch 1.0.7 apparently). Without knowing the enemy team, no “use this troop” advice possible.
Will you have the same point of view if we didn’t have Scouting?
