My reply to that was basically that Scott's best friend was in trouble and that was the perfect opprotunity for him to test out his new abilities.

He still can't control his abilities, he's no different now in that department than he was in 3B. He still has no control and Deuc would obliterate him.

You're making excuses and they don't even make sense, Beacon Hills being quiet and peaceful has nothing to do with Scott's powers or fighting skills. But becoming an alpha doesn't change how he fight, he was a new beta in seasons 1-3a and yet he still managed to kick ass. You've said nothing that proves Scott could beat Deucalion. You're one of the only people that think this. It would be too easy for him to kill Scott. No. What I've been saying is:

Between the gap of 3A and 3B, in that context, there was peace in BH. As in, there was no supernatural threats that required Scott to use his enhanced werewolf abilities. He did not practice with his newfound strength, he did not do much except live as a normal human would. How is he going to tap into his new powers if he doesn't know how? Explain, please. Everything I've said has been based within the context of the show. Not once have I claimed that Scott, as he is now in canon, would beat Deucalion. In fact, I said:

'' "But on topic: Deucalion has more experience with his Alpha powers, has gained enough power to be called the "Demon Wolf," and led a pack entirely of Alphas when he was blind. He's been an Alpha for years, maybe even a decade or two (I'm not sure how long it's been since the Hale fire, or when he was first blinded, sorry), whereas Scott's been an Alpha for a year, and only got control of his strength a couple months after that. Deucalion has the upper hand until Scott fully masters his True Alpha powers and stops being a sucker for the ol' "Wolfsbane-in-the-inhaler" trick." ''

Which means that Scott will, at one point, be able to beat Deucalion; but at the place he is now, in canon, he won't be able to do much. After all, there's a reason Deucalion sees Scott as a threat and tried to get him to kill in order to ruin his chance at becoming a True Alpha.
