Er, hasn't that always been a use of the runner? Seeing where your opponent is?

That, and picking off medics snipers and other runners. And taking opponents wit spaces.

Yea that's why I said 'a' use. Scouts are certainly versatile units.

No i mean like keeping them at base and not rushing them

Certainly not new for me.

As in surrounding your base with them? It'd be a pretty frail defense; You just need a scout to break the line, then sneak something more powerful through. It might work against Mobis though, to keep them from summoning, should you wish to enslave them.

If you had a Scrambler and felt the need to convert it

Better to use scouts for picking off snipers, not for defense b/c of their frail defense
