It is SUPPOSED to outclass the AR in range.

The AScR is still not as good as the regular AR.

Except, it pretty much outclasses the AR in many ways. Now I'm not upset or complaining. I continue to use my AR. My old CEO tried to get me into SCRs. I've seen him do some damage on the field. For me, the rifle just wasn't my style.

But SCR has range. Not only that, the damage and ROF is monstrous compared to AR. Some strafing and from the hip fire from a SCR (skilled one), you're dead in a nanosecond.

Again, I'm not mad or am I complaining. I'm just dealing with reality.

The time of the jack of all trades master of all AR will be past in 1.7.

You are uttering common rhetoric that many others say that really doesn't make any kind of sense.

The AR is the jack of all trades. That's what assault rifle is, essentially. It's built upon that foundation as the common all around weapon for the infantry soldier.

I'm sorry, but that statement just does not work. What you're basically saying is that player skill is OP. By that logic, any weapon is by extension OP, since a skilled player will be able to use it better than others. Of course a skilled player is able to avoid overheat most of the time. So what? Even if a ScR user doesn't even overheat once in a whole match, his/her maximum damage output has still been limited, since avoiding overheat means frequent pauses in firing.

You know the guy is around the corner? Charge and spam. Works every time. Maybe that's an alternative if you're Amarr assault, but it certainly isn't in any other dropsuit. A fully charged shot followed by spam results in overheat after three or four shots, even with relevant skills matched out. Then you're stuck sauntering around at a relaxed walking pace, waving your glowing rifle in the air, perhaps jumping half a foot high in a feeble attempt to avoid the enemy's fire. If you miss any of those previous shots, your target is likely still alive. If your spamming at an HP tanker, your target is still alive. So no, charge and spam doesn't work every time. It works every now and then against low-HP targets. The rest of the times you try it, it results in no kill and a likely death for yourself.

This is game, in which the various weapons and elements need to have some balance among them to preserve the fun. Anyway, the saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none". Which means that added general utility will lower single-use case excellence.
