Ideas on balancing the SCR without NERFING it to the Ground like most QQers want to:

People QQ a lot about the SCR because their butt hurt selves cannot win with their crappy AR or scouts that think the SCR kills too fast but they are ignoring the fact any weapon evaporates a scout suit in a second, not being precisely the SCR fault , but Under-powered scout suits that cannot even take a shot from a Light weapon and cant even dodge scanners effectively..

News for you, there are LOT, and i mean a FREAKN lot of SCR users that are utter crap at using it. They just get lucky now and then while mashing R1.A vague and less effective imitation of AR Spray and Pray (lack of)Technique.
Me Myself being a SCR user , i NEVER get killed by another SCR.I always win vs SCR tourists and win a big deal of 1 v 1 SCR battles UNLESS im severely hurt, etc...
What does this mean? Im better at it,because i use the charge shot, aim to the head ,and use follow-up shots with high precision.

NOw lots of people get lucky shots because of AA , great CQ Hipfire accuracy for a mid-Long weapon and high alpha damage.
Most QQ i've seen around think that Alpha damage nerf will balance the SCR.But no, it will nerf it to the ground.
Making the weapon useless. No one would use it.Me myself if the Imperial SCR does NOT Hit at LEAST 75 Base damage per shot i wouldt use it at all.
The SCR already has lots of disadvantages that other weapons dont have:
GÖªHigher CPU usage for a Light weapon
GÖªHighest PG usage of any light weapon
GÖªNot very appreciated OVERHEAT mechanic, making it a very good weapon for 1 v 1 engagements but a crappy one for engaging vs multiple opponents
GÖªMore SP sink than some commonly used assault weapons, like the AR

People that use the SCR use it because they are willing to pay the price for the SCR.SPECIALLY people not using Amarr assault suits they are really fighting against the tides. Nerf the Alpha damage or charged shot , you make the weapon utterly useless....

now the problem and the REASON the SCR became popular was : wait for it... YES! thats it, when AA came into play.
Now every scrub that couldn't hit sh*t with the SCR on release are magically transformed into Amarrian MArksmen! sometimes without even pressing L1 once!

SOLUTION:
GÖª TONE DOWN AA at closer ranges or REMOVE IT. The SCR and the Laser rifle only need slight AA at longer ranges.
GÖª INCREASE THE SIZE of the HIP FIRE CROSS. The SCR is NOT A CQ Weapon, same as when i use the Laser Rifle , i should consider changing into my SMG whenever an engagement becomes too CQ. Not be able to use the SCR with a Charged shot as a Shotgun without using L1,since AA will make the hit connect. The SCR should feel more like the Sniper Rifle while shooting without aiming than the SMG....

With this 2 Changes you are making it a SPECIALIST weapon, And the difference between skilled SCR users and ''tourist'' or EZ moders will be more noticeable.

DO IT CCP, im tired of the QQ vs the SCR...Like SRSLY.

TY, leave your hate below.

Whiners will whine...but yeah....

Oh god no. We need to buff the SCR Rifles.

We need to make it to where the other team either needs to have another SCR Rifle, or make it to where 3-6 people have to work together to take me out. Only then can we achieve balance.

Because forcing 3-6 people to take out one person is perfectly balanced
