Same even I struggle with the scotch. Thats why I am thinking to play the petrovs defense, I just thought about it today but one more option is to play nxd4 instead of exd4 even though white's queen is active after d6 its decent for black.I tried it in few games and it was not bad.
A solid response is 3...exd4, exchanging pawns to contest White's central dominance. After 4.Nxd4, Black should develop actively with 4...Nf6, attacking the e4 pawn and preparing to castle. Alternatively, the more aggressive 4...Bc5 targets both the knight on d4 and the f2 square, potentially leading to quick counterplay.
When facing 3. d4, I usually go for the solid 3...exd4 to challenge White's central dominance early. After 4. Nxd4, my go-to move is 4...Nf6, which not only puts pressure on the e4 pawn but also sets up for quick kingside development and castling crunchyroll. Sometimes, I like to mix it up with 4...Bc5, aiming for aggressive counterplay by targeting the knight on d4 and the f2 square, keeping White on their toes.
