Scan isn't doing it's job for more than few minutes, where everything can change.
Again, if FoB is being harassed constantly, even 15 benos can scare off 100 combat capable marines. If Marines tried to push out of FoB and they failed, then who is first to throw the stone and blame marines for "meta evac" if they can't do anything? It would be stupid. Atleast evac means that round will end in next 30 minutes, where endless FoB siege will take hours. It's better for almost everyone. Only hard on beno mains who enjoy mindless slaughter can complain about their defenceless prey escaping.
And no, Marines can't win by sitting in the FoB. It's impossible.
When marines are defending, then there is no one to chase wounded benos, so the only killed bugs were either bald, or very unluckey (like stepping on a mine, or SADAR, or good nade). Otherwise slighty decent benos are unable to die at FoB siege. Marines will run out of ammo, out of meds and out of anything, while benos can just sit behind a wall and regenerate everything.
Tell me, how many rounds you have seen where Marines scouted the map a bit, were forced to retreat to FoB (every squad), then they survived siege and rushed back to kill benos and succed? Next to 0, because I've never seen such round. Every round with FoB siege ends up in Benos breaking defences and Marines evacuating.
Another question: Tell me, when in your opinion Marines are allowed to Evac?
