Ok. So this not about Scott being a True Alpha. I (like most of us) still have no idea what that entails other than being able to step over piles of random dust. I'd prefer this discussion did not speculate on those powers, what they are, when they kick in, limitations, etc.

This is about Scott being an Alpha period. Because from what I've seen in the last three weeks he's still a beta. Ignoring the fact that he hasn't really taken a leadership role in directing his beta(s), eg training, recruiting or even just gathering them all up and telling them how he wants to conduct business in BH.

Scott's senses seem no more heightened, his abilities (except the roar) are no different than before, and his fighting skills are the same or worse since he got his fancy red eyes.

Example - Last week, Scott got his ass kicked by a guy who was for all intents and purposes physically a normal human being. He had a piece of rebar, granted, and got blindsided. The same situation would put anyone reading this post in the hospital, if not the cemetary.

But Scott's a werewolf, he's taken vicious beatings at the hands of other creatures when he was a beta. Now he's an Alpha (in name only it seems), he should be able to handle a little punishment, hell he should be able to shrug that shit off almost. Can you imagine Alpha Derek getting knocked out by some schmoe with a pipe. NO.  He'd get hit, not move an inch and give said schmoe the Hale death glare. And this is Derek Hale, he's basically the Omega version of an Alpha.

Moving on, later Scott gets electricuted by Barrow. Ok, I guess. Except Derek, Isaac and Kali all got a does of the juice last season, and Isaac was the only one on the floor. Derek still needed two Alphas two hold him down. But OldBones, this was 1.2 Gigawatts you say, its different you say. First of all its not that different, since Scott got a relatively casual quick dose in what I would assume is semi conductive stance. Derek was standing in fucking water getting shocked over and over. Meanwhile Isaac bouncedback from his electroshock therapy immediately.

Lastly we come to this weeks offering, Scott is no more effective at combating this smoke ninjas than any of the other werewolves. In fact he does much worse, getting hit and knocked down for more than half the fight. What. The. Hell. Its not a big deal that he can't hit them (although that might be a cool True Alpha thing), but when actually does worse than his pack you have to question why Aidan (he's the straight twin right?) hasn't just killed him for the power already. Seriously, I pose that question to TW's writers, if Scott is such a weak Alpha, when hasn't one of his beta's killed him yet?

Alpha, true or not, is supposed to be an order of magnitude stronger than a beta. Scott has either been written terribly for some reason in all these actions sequences, or perhaps in Teen Wolf Canon, a True Alpha is the weakest kind of Alpha, weaker even than their beta form.

TLDR; Scott is too consistently shown to be too weak for what he should be.
