What we have seen of werewolf culture is very violent. Scott's adorkable personality is not going to protect him from hostile supernatural beings or human hunters! Indeed, he's already been getting slapped around and he only recently (in-show time) "ascended" to True Alpha status. His senses don't seem particularly acute. He has trouble controlling even his own Beta.

There's something missing here... I don't see anything wrong with him.

Name: Sean

How about the fact that he is less tough now than he was as a Beta in S3a and earlier? Remember the big brawl with the Alpha Pack in the abandoned mall? Scott was way outmatched, but still put in a decent showing. Since becoming a True Alpha it seems like a little girl could roll him for his lunch money!

Actually, thinking back to that incident, that kind of disputes the idea that True Alphas should be weaker. There was a moment where Scott was in a test of strength (with Ennis I think) where his eyes flashed red and he was briefly on an equal strength level.
