They are, but they are also a solution to the broken relationship between tanks and AV.
And tanks can blow them up pretty quickly if they are aware of them.
Even if a scout in the open knows its coming, and I have been there, there are no counters. Period.

But one broken relationship should not require another broken relationship to counter. Resolving that initial relationship is what should be of primary concern.
I agree. However, if there are two broken mechanics that balance one another, you can't simply remove one and not the other as well without creating even greater imbalance.

Well I don't think murder taxis are quite as broken as it's not hard to kill people that hops out of a vehicle. You see the vehicle coming, you can just get ready to take the person out as soon as he/she hops out. Also, While the person is fighting you, a HAV can easily **** up the LAV while is stopped, and then kill the heavy if you die.
Really? Heavies don't need to get within 10 m to kill a 200 ehpish scout, which is what I run, to kill me in a fraction of a second. Even if I am able to shoot back, what light weapon exists that can counter the 5x ehp difference between suits?
And now that the cloak duration has decreased, a scout like me that likes to traverse lots of ground to get behind enemy lines and hack CRUs and objectives, especially when the team is on the ropes, runs out of cloak quickly, and is an easy target for a lazy heavy that wants an easy cheap kill. Unless the person is also stupid enough to pull up immediately next to me, give me time to play ring around the LAV while allowing me to place an RE on the driver side, THEN take off before he kills me, I have NO COUNTER!

I see your point but we shouldn't accept that one broken relationship should exist let alone two, and consider the second any more or less fair than the first.
I agree that we shouldn't accept them, but I find the Jihad Jeeps less often than the tank spam. I wouldn't say its truly fair, but I am not terribly upset when a small unfairness takes out a bigger unfairness.
I think its a different story if used against infantry.
