Day one SCR user chiming in.

The SCR is not OP by any means, what leads people to say it is OP is because they are either....

A) Shield tanking
B) Approaching a SCR wielder incorrectly

The SCR does 120% damage to shields, everything from just "Scrambler Rifle" to the Imperial will absolutely wreck a shield tanker's day. While the SCR only does 80% damage to armor, since the said target is shield tanking, they don't have that much armor anyway so the SCR has no problem tearing through that either leading to people complaining about "insta kills."

The main culprits of complaining about option A are Caldari Assaults, Caldari Logis, and sometimes Minmatar Assaults.

As for the other option, people are complaining about the SCR because as I stated, they approach a SCR user incorrectly. If you stand still and try to fire, or run in a straight line while firing at a SCR user, you're going to have a bad time...chance are he/she as a charged shot waiting to melt your face. I've said this a thousand times - strafing is your key to victory to beating a SCR user. What will happen is either they cannot hit you, or they'll panic, speed their shots up, and then overheat leaving them vulnerable for several seconds while they **CANNOT SPRINT OR CHANGE WEAPONS.** Bottom line, if you lose to a SCR user that has overheated mid gunfight, you just need to delete DUST from your system.

I wasn't referencing just you, I was referring to the SCR using community in general. I'd say the vast majority of SCR users cannot hit an enemy that is strafing.
