I've always said, that if they changed the weapon so it becomes less easy to spam and less reliable in CQC then it'd be balanced. SCR needs to be Medium - Long Range.
And before anyone says the SCR would then be getting beaten by the RR at that range, the SCR would have the ability to beat any trade with an RR user with its charge shot.
Yes, losing to a ScR in close range is quite annoying.

Just to be clear, I think the ScR does far to well outside its role and on a Amarr Assault suit, the thing becomes near impossible to fight unless you are using a CR or RR. It eats through heavy suits.
That being said, the weapon is getting a big nerf(though it will still out perform a AR)
However, the nerf doesn't come from the dmg itself being dropped, it's the change to dmg mods and prof skill that will effect it most.
These changes, I think, will balance the weapon...then nerf it just pass that.
It will rip through shields, but then what? You have to eat through 450-1000+ armour. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only armour tankers to worry about, almost every suit has a plate or two. So even once you get through the Caldari Assault/Logis 500 or shields, then you have to fight another 400+ armour.
My solution? Shield damaging weaponry get 4 percent bonus in prof instead of 3.

I hate it, but I can't ignore balance. Everybody should get to use what they want, and it should be effective at its job and just as good as weapons in its same class.
That said, I really think the ScR is working to well outside of its role and the nerf across the board was needed for all rifles. It just so happens that the ScR(along with the AR) is getting the worst end of the stick since it does the least amount of dmg to armour and I think they are going to fall behind(but still ahead of the AR) the other rifles. The AScR will still compete, just not as well as it was.
