I love what you're doing to the page Shinma, but do you think you might be underselling passive scouting some? Esp in hightier matches (Clan Wars being the best example), it's really the only way to go sometimes. -Force

"In most cases, passive scouting is far less useful than active scouting" There's very niche examples where it might work, so the caveat is there, but the tone I'm trying to get is that it's generally weaker, and to help new players I think it's better to stick with the majority case than to say that the few times it might be better should be weighted equally. Really, the only 'passive is better' case in my mind is that one spot on Prok on the 1 line, and even that's pretty arguable. -Shin

'in many cases, dedicated passive scouting setups are less useful than active scouting due to'

Would that address your concern? Shin
