The ScR is the best 1v1 weapon, if you take on any ScR user worth their salt solo you'll go down.

Bring friends and rush em, I guarantee you will overwhelm them.

Yeah which is kind of my point. You can't take them 1v1 at any range with confidence that isn't beyond their optimal if that player isn't half brain dead.

I am a good player and scrambler are the most infuriating things to fight when someone knows you're there because they can pop you so damn quick.

Exactly, which is why its the ultimate 1v1 weapon; its weakness comes in prolonged engagements and multiple opponents

I'm going to go out on a limb and say given the Amarr predilection for long range fire power and the ability to control the engagement at long range they are made for open country.

All I can say from using the combat rifle is that any ScR user will be torn up/ given a run for their money by the Combat rifle in CQC
given its 1200 RoF.

I mean in close quarters I am unstoppable given my sheer bullet out put and high Armour coupled with fast reps. Its only nades that stop me.

They fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. CQC is just as if not even more dangerous due to the high ROF, high alpha, and super tight hipfire spread. You never have to reload them. They practically never overheat. Where are these things supposed to be bad again? Here I am supposed to be the mid to short range champ in my minmatar assault, combat rifle, and smg and I can't out range them. I can't fight them in CQC. I can't out run them. I can't out flank them. I pretty much have to rely on them being slow or not good players. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

Toe to toe in my proto minnie assault vs a proto amarr assault I lose almost every time. Being shield based my main buffer is down before their shields are down. If you can get past their shields you have a chance to keep poking at them to take them down but I always get alphad down in CQC unless I hit that guy from his 6 oclock first. Youtuber.

You'll be surprised how much better you will do if you start playing smart. Lol. What do you think i do wave, ask him for a cup of tea? When you flank, get the jump, get that half second advantage and still get 1200 damage to you at 3m in a couple shots it's frustrating. When you're flanking and trying to keep moving cover to cover and then he hits you for literally 1800 damage in an instant it's pretty frustrating. Also, yeah I use this thing and you rarely have to reload it as it only takes like 5 rounds to kill a guy if you're not a horrible shot. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

I'd be nice if you did instead of having your lackey Mr Mustard shoot me in the head when I'm bringing you my world famous Nanohive scones.... it's more like I'm his lackey. :D Youtuber.

BUT I believe that the ScR (as in the weapon itself) is the ultimate 1v1 weapon unlike the other rifles where the only limiting factor to engaging multiple targets is its clip size. Im speaking simply regarding weapon mechanics and characteristics I agree with this. Scrambler Pistols come at a close second if it was a fight within 20m. Youtuber.
