I don't really think it's OP. It may seem to shield tankers, but it's definitely not OP on any armor tank.
The problem is, something always look OP if the guys who use it are actually good. I have a ton of hete/love mails stating that the laser rifle should be "tuned down" a little bit because it's "too easy to use" in open maps.
Assaulting in cqc with a scrambler rifle and an Amarr Assault is mostly a suicide, both because of heavies and combat rifles. You may actually melt a sentinel, but only between 30 - 70 mts, and absolutely not the Gallente and Amarr sentinel.
Any shield tanking medium frame will be almost one-shotted by a trimodded Viziam Scrabler rifle. But when it comes to armor tanking it's really hard (remember, -20% on armor).
I, Armor tanker, would say that the Rail rifles are OP, but as soon as I switch character and use my Cal Assault, suddenly Rail Rifles are not a problem anymore, and my real problem are Plasma rifles and Scramblers/lasers.
I could even say the plasma Cannon is OP, because it 1-shot any heavy frame: it always depend on who uses it!
On my heavy account I've been nova knifed three times by Itchi, but it doesn't mean NKs are OP simply because they can OHK my super-pumped sentinel.
That said, Scramblers are a marksman weapon, just like the Duvolle Tactical AR. It gets really good when you use it on an Amarr Assault, but the same happens with all the other weapons! the Tactical AR gets awesome when used on a Gallente assault (try it if you don't believe), and it's even muvh more efficient than a scrambler in CQC.

And it wont overheat even vs armor tanker. Complete lies. No they are not. with the amarr assault bonus you can get near a full clip out before you even have to worry about over heating. And with a proto scr that's fully charged you can 1 shot most suits with a head shot. Not to mention the 0 recoil on it so you have pin point accuracry it becomes btter then most rifles and has always been that way.
That's actually untrue. You're not even close at shooting an entire clip before overheating, it's half a clip.
IF you headshot, the scrambler pistol is even better,
And there actually is recoil.

I really can't get it. modded pads cannot charge shot, which is actually why the Scrambler looks so OP to you guys. Charge shot + rapid burst of 2-4 shots. But it need skills. It does, seriously. Try one, compare it to a Rail Rifle or a Tactical AR (on a Gallente) then come back here.
On the Turbo controllers topic: it will always be a plague, but nerfing the Scr won't solve anything: the ACR has no recoil with turbo controllers/mouses just like the AR. HMGs are way more precise with a turbo controller, and well, Burst HMG doesn't even require you to tap after every burst: just hold R1 and kill.
