Before the update, I had a pistol that didn't have great range, but it had fine damage and rate of fire. It was a good sidearm for close quarters combat. I don't have that anymore. The scrambler pistol now has greater range, and accuracy, and a lower fire rate. It's not "nerfed," it's just not the same weapon at all. I can get kills with it, but It is much less useful as a close quarters weapon. I can no longer fight well against most rpeople with light weapons.
I want a ruthlessly efficient close quarters weapon, but it doesn't exist anymore. The ion pistol seems like it is supposed to be what the scrambler pistol was before, but anyone suggesting that the ion pistol be used only does so ironically, or as some kind of personal challenge, as any other pistol is better than it is in the thing in which it should excel.
I can use the scrambler rile like I used the scrambler pistol before, but now I don't really have a good weapon to go with the laser rifle.
If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

Mind you, pistols in general are pretty bad. I mean, come on. Ion pistol? Flaylock pistol?
If you are trying to irritate people, you are doing a good job.
There is no reason that pistols should be as bad as they are.

it's irritating because I see all too often that the scrambler pistol is still the best sidearm. I know it is, but it still isn't anywhere as good as the close quarters sidearm of yore that WAS the scrambler pistol.

The scrambler pistol now is not bad, but it is a completely different weapon than the one of the same name before the update, and the things that it was good at are not shared by any other sidearm, so now I have none to use in its stead, including variants of the scrambler pistol, the submachine gun, and the other pistols.

Now you have the burst.
It was not overpowered.

Now you have the burst. It was not overpowered. You already said it's currently the best sidearm and was better still prior to the nerf. There shouldn't be one best of anything if there are other options, that is not balance. @mr mustard, I can't argue there.
It was better at close combat prior to the update, and now it is better for medium range combat. Now I have no sidearm that is great at close combat.

Amarr aren't close range fighters...
Ion pistol should be, but isn't, which is where I see the OP's point. There is no king of cqc pistol anymore.
You get it.
It's like... what if they made every light weapon into a sniper rifle? They would still be fine weapons, but not what everyone would want to use.

They would still be fine weapons, but not what everyone would want to use. "It plays to its racial statline, I don't like that! CHANGE IT". Sounds like you need to find a different weapon, Might I suggest the minmatar smg?
I've tried it. The scrambler pistol is still better at close combat, even though its not a close combat weapon anymore. Sidearms aren't all terrible, but all sidearms are terrible at what I need them to do now.

In addition to having terrible range and accuracy, The Ion pistol has lower damage per second than the other pistols. It needs its damage about doubled to be what it's supposed to be.
