Scott excelled at thermolocation - not echolocation.

echolocation requires that you focus your hearing, not expand it to capture all noise from a given area.

Werewolf hearing must be focused to be of any use at all, otherwise, it's just noise upon noise upon noise. Wow, it's a good thing I was re-watching the episode anyways. The cars didn't arrive after the shots were fired. The cars were already parked. Deucalion got shot, the pack immediately look at the henchman who shot him. He looks behind at Monroe as confirmation, who is to the right of the parked jeep. It also showed in the background many hunters already running to get position and all the other cars were already parked.

This makes your point much worse because it actually was pure speculation. At first I was too fatigued to write up another response to your comment because I've actually spent over an hour arguing with you, but this triggered me because the premise of your argument was wrong in the first place, despite you calling it facts XD. So...while Scott, Deucalion and Malia were using their sound to find blind, Munroe and her goons drove there, parked, got their weapons, came out the car and shot them all without making a sound in a remote area? Scott also had to use echolocation to beat Deucalion. In fact, they didn't show Deucalion in infrared when he beat him. They only emphasized on the whip sound of Deucalion's walking cane. So I don't believe thermolocation was what allowed him to beat him. At the very least, it was a combination but it seemed like it was primarily echolocation. So wrong.

Echolocation is about focusing your hearing so you can pinpoint objects. That involves using the full extent of your hearing, as you're attempting to visualize a picture of everythng, using sound. So he'd have to hear more than what's just in front of him. Thinking about it logically, the easiest way to kill a blind person is to sneak up on them, so fighting blind makes it neccessary to be cautious of all of your surroundings.

Finally, as I explained before, there have been many instances of the supernaturals randomly hearing something from far away that they were not expecting, and they were able to track the person using the sound. Heck, it was just the episode before that Aaron heard Quinn's unexpected scream all the way in the sewers, and then purposely injured himself so she could scream again, allowing him to find her using sound. Supernaturals have ridiculously good hearing feats in this series but also, ridiculously bad, as in this scene.

I will add that the scene was badass. The music was amazing and it was unexpected (why kill off Deucalion now? :'. But it still didn't make much sense and was a cheap death.
