Is Scout Overpowered?

Okay this is a issue i think
Because is scout really OP (overpowered)
According to this update Scout was "nerfed" imo i dont think so
This is his changelog:
Scout Remake
- Attack impact point is now .43 (lowered)
- Increased base strength from 17 to 20
- Lowered strength gain per level from 1.9 to 1.7
- Vanish
*Now a toggle skill, with an upkeep cost of 3 mana per second

*Toggling off Vanish will initiate a 24/18/12/6 second cool down

*Attacking from Vanish will toggle it off and apply a +300 attack speed buff that lasts for 4 seconds or until 2/3/4/5 attacks are performed
- Electric Eye


*The scout may now have 2/3/4/5 Electric Eyes active. Added a counter to the skill to keep track of how many eyes are active.

*Electric Eyes now have a detonate skill, which causes them to silence targets in a 450 radius for 3/4/5/6 seconds
*Silence from Electric Eyes goes through Magic Immunity

*Added a sub- skill to Scout after learning Electric Eyes which allows him to detonate the closest Electric Eye without having to manually select it. This skill can be used while silenced and disabled.

*Cool down of Electric Eyes reduced to 30 seconds at all levels, cool down of the new detonate skill set to 10s. Detonate has a global cool down on all electric eyes.

*Vision granted by Electric Eyes reduced to 800
- Improved Dexterity
*Removed
- Marksman Shot

*Channel time reduced from 3.0/2.25/1.5 to 2.25/1.75/1.25

*Cool down increased by 10 seconds at all levels (to 50/40/30 seconds)

*The damage dealt is now equal to 250 plus 10/20/30% of the target's maximum hit points

*The Wounded slow debuff now scales, from 40% at all levels to 20/30/40% movement speed slow
- New Ability: Disarm
*Ability slot 3 (E)

*Grants a 10/15/20/25% chance on attack to disarm your target for 3 seconds, preventing it from attacking
*Deals +25/50/75/100% bonus damage with the disarming attack

After this update scout was overpowered (imo)
His vanish and ultimate got boosted
Also please take a minute to read the text above if you skipped it or at least read the text written in Bold.

So now the issue comes is scout overpowered?
I will take a look at the problem, and i will hope you will comment this post
















As you see scout only wins 46,5% of his games which is under half
He makes 6,5 kills and dies 4,6 times which gives him a KD:Ratio on 1,4
Which isnt that bad!
But lets compare him to someone!
Scout is the most played hero, then lets take the second most played hero Arachna
Arachna's Stats:















As you can see Arachna wins 51,4% of the games!
Makes 6,6 kills, which is just over scout, but dies more which gives the KD:Ratio on 1,2
Which is 0,2 lower than scout, but if Arachna wins most game, why is Scout then played 30.000 times more every week ? Wierd right..





Please comment this post and discuss Scout!
