How about a strategy then?
- Use hard hitting weapons and AoE spells when a scout is farming. Personnaly, I like the first spell of both LT and Heli (AoE) and basic cannon, which both can get. Two hits and the spell and any scout early on are dead. Later, when he gets more HP with a hull, just use more firepower.
- Push! A farming scout can get little nourishment if he does not have access to easy creeps. So get offensive and ATTACK. Capture those waypoints and a scout will be much more pressed to farm.
- Never let someone feed alone in a lane. Never.
- Destroy the scout towers as early as possible. Not only do they give you cash, they also gimp his farming abilities, not to mention his defensive one (scout towers can soak up hits).
- Scouts, unless equipped with weapons, cannot hurt a tank in any way! So give them hell by closing on them!
Bottom line: Dont't EVEN THINK you can out-farm a scout! That's his specialty! So adapt to the situation by getting decent DPS and a aggressive strategy to prevent him from farming.
Hope that helps :-)
PS: Yeah, tried that in .45 and it works great.
