He's been through a lot of crap - having to kill Paige, losing his family in the fire, Kate Argent betraying him, his uncle killing his sister, the kanima, this alpha pack, losing Erica and Boyd, realizing his grilfriend is a mass-murdering psychopath, now Cora is dying....it's just too much. Everytime Beacon Hillls is put in danger, he always takes responsibility to deal with it. He never pushes anyone to fall into the pit of fire with him. You see this multiple times throughout the show. He's always like, "I'll handle it. It's my problem." To me that shows how brave he really is and how he's willing to put his own life at risk to save everyone else. Sure, we've seen quite a few times where he was willing to kill people if it meant everyone else would be safe (i.e - being okay with killing Lydia and then Jackson when he suspected them of being the Kanima in season 2), but that doesn't make him a horrible person. I think that indicates that he's being realistic instead of foolishly noble. He sees the shades of grey instead of as Peter put it, "Scott's morally black and white world."

I don't know what everyone expected him to do this season as the alpha. How on earth was he suppose to try and defeat the alpha pack with all their strength? What plan was he suppose to think of? That's why I don't really get why he's being labeled as a bad leader.
