Scrin OP or not?

I play 95% of my games as scrin and just about every single game that I win the opponent says that I only won because I was scrin. Do you think Scrin is OP? I just think that all the people that whine about them are nubs that don't like to lose.

Scrin are UP compared to Nod and GDI. Stop playing noobs if you don't want people to say you won because you use Scrin if you dont like it. They're just freaks who refuse to adapt to a game thats been out for nearly three years.

IMO GDI and Nod can beat Scrin on PP, and as for BB no one plays that and its the only one where Scrin really dominates.

You're incredibly knowledgeable.... ._.
BB is played and GDI really fails there unless its a mirror, or you somehow successfully engineer [as is the same for most maps vs nod, anyway].
PP is a mixed bag with the scrin opponent needing to know the exact build and perform it precisely to have any chance of victory.

Basically, scrin is a good faction when played perfectly. Since thats rarely the case [and any sloppy attempt with nod/gdi will usually own you] they appear much weaker than in reality.

By saying no one plays BB I meant very rarely/only in AM

GDI and Nod players only need to abuse their OPness and Scrin doesn't really have a way to win, unless as you said, they play it perfectly. Anyone can beat a pro on rift for example if they were Nod and the pro were Scrin. I know that from experience.

How would you know that from experience?
You're neither pro nor exceedingly good with either of those factions.

And for your information, the vast majority of games are AM.

I meant from the other end i.e. I beat (one of) the best players in the game ever, using Nod on Rift vs his Scrin.
And I stand by my point that BB is very rarely played voluntarily.

And who would that be?
Assuming its someone actually good, everyone can beat anyone at least once or twice.
