Not gonna happen. Considering the buffs that the other classes will get, the scout will just be awesome rather than OP. In fact, I expect to see a lot of scout-wannabes running around trying to use the use it like an assault and dying a lot not knowing the proper way to do it like the pros do.

actually for me, I'm very good with a scout, and I can do better EASIER than in a scout.
this is likely because I run EVERY suit like a scout suit: kincat and card reg stacked to the nines. 
I made a beast cal assault suit with 9.18 sprint speed with more stamina than a scout and 530+ shields with a proto weapon. needless to say, it was a lot easier to get decent scores than scouting, though I wasn't able to achieve the very high scores I can with my scout suit. this is probably because I've been running scout for so long, that I've adjusted to it over other suits.

Viable, sure... it's just that other suits are better.
Currently a lot of players have grown accustomed to their active scanners displaying all enemies. When more people start using scouts, players will adjust and start paying attention to their surroundings again, and the scan profile won't be that much of an advantage. |

I did it because I could no longer fight effectively with the Swarm Launcher and Minmatar Assault I had earlier. I thought it was going to be incredibly hard, considering how much people complain. Though, I find them surprisingly easier to operate in. This is because of Scanners. I don't care how good you are, or say you are, you won't survive against 6 players with proto gear that are all chasing you down because they scanned you. This is especially true if you play solo like I do. Now everytime I play something that is not a scout suit I get scanned and completely murdered by 3+ guys shooting me at the same time. Yet I can walk right around them in a scout suit and survive, and even shotgun them all down before they even see me. My Proto Minmatar Assault Suit with 3x the HP dies twice as much and can't even get half as many kills as my standard scout suit. So much for Scouts not being viable
maybe you're really good at it and didn't know?
i try everything that people say is easy and I still get my ass kicked xD
I'd probably do badly with the CR that keeps chewing me up...

Scouts being FOTM will be dependent on how bad the scanner nerf will be.
The only reason they are viable right now is because of the ability to dodge the 24/7 scanning going on right now. People are so dependent on it, that they become easy prey when they don't have something scanned.
If the scanners work more opportunistically (used to scout objectives before going in, or to figure out if there is a squad around that corner), instead of them being the wall-hack they are now, the other assault suits should still be more viable as a frontline suit due to their increased bulk and damage dealing potential.
That's at least what I think..
Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face.
Minmatar. In Rust we trust.

It sounds stupidly simple, I know. But it's surprisingly overlooked by scout-wannabes.
