I don't have a problem with them, actually.
The community just needs to realize they're SCOUTS; not light assaults.
Their strengths are in scanning and mobility, which gives them 2 main roles:
Stealth combat- using their passive scanning and low profiles to surprise people with shotguns, knives, or plasma cannons
Non-combat- using their superior mobility to drop uplinks in strategic locations, and combining mobility and stealth to hack unguarded installations
I made fits for both these roles, and they're VERY effective, and my personal favorites, next to my minmatar logi.

People recognize what is OP and what isn't, its not that hard to spot,
Sorry, but this part stood out so much I'm having to ignore the rest of your post for the time being.
Hell no.
Dropships weren't buffed in codex, but they weren't considered OP until that build. Why? Because HAVs were OP in the previous build and nobody touched dropships.
There's always one OP thing that overshadows everything else; only those of us who stray from the beaten path notice what's truly powerful.
That being said, for the last 2 builds, I've been terrified of anyone who has mastered plasma cannons.
And this build, I'm terrified of any squad who masters dropship combat (I kindof want to see that though- remember that passengers are weapons too! Drop shotgunners into CQC)

I agree that scouts have their moments and there are some awesome scouts out there who truly **** on the battle field, but the fact that we need to run proto just to get a small advantage is pretty bad.
I have a 1.56 KDR, I work hard for it, though its not what drives me. I do love my scout, but more often than not I have QQ and WTF moments way more than I do on my assault/logi alts.
There is no niche for scouts, when there is then people can decide if they are OP or not.
Medium suits can't see everything in the building they're in without alerting their enemies.
If you put any effort into improving passive scanning, that's one of their biggest strengths.
