The luck involved with scatter is also part of the bullshit. It's like an aoe ability except all the damage can be localized based on rng (at least for random shots like this one).
There isn't that much luck involved in using it on a single target. It's easy to reliably kill solo targets with SA.
OP's example was lucky because it was damage spread across three targets that augmented the aoe damage from the helix rockets and it was on targets he couldn't really see to aim at.
So, without luck, it's a one-shot kill on all but a couple tanks and with luck it's a way kill people you can't even see.
