Scrambler Balance?

[CombatEX]

I don't have time to discuss this in detail at the moment (analyzing replays etc), but as for the 2HP being too good, this was just something that players found in the lengthy beta before Outwitters was first released. I'm playing in the current beta servers for the new team and for some reason the current beta uses a pre-release version of Outwitters so the Scrambler is actually in its 2HP form. It's hard to explain why without being able to show you replays (you won't be able to load replays from the beta server), but the Scrambler is extremely powerful with a potential 3HP.

I think this is primarily because it makes it much harder to kill a Scrambler (you can no longer do so with a soldier). When a Scrambler survives past one turn and can scramble again, it's devastating. That's 2 units that not only were 'killed' (the opponent no longer has them), but also 2 units that the opponent has to deal with (spend wits to kill those additional units). Now after the second scramble, the Scrambler is still just as hard as ever to kill with its 3HP ... and so the process can continue.

This example won't necessarily be how it looks all the time, but the point is that the Scrambler has the deadliest ability* (even better than a 1HKO), so having a Scrambler survive for even 1 more turn is a huge deal. This is likely why giving the Scrambler what seems like a marginal boost in survivability actually has a huge impact on the unit's effectiveness.

*What I mean by this is that the Scrambler does massive damage (1HKO) and can do this damage immediately (doesn't need to be set up like a bombshell and have to wait for an opponent to move in range).
