It gets a little bit better as you aproach lvl 5, but yes the damage before overheat is just pitiful compared to the other rifles.
I still use it because I am a masochists, but I would suggest making the switch to TAC AR for now if you still want that high-damage skill-shot weapon.
You get the same amount of raw damage
More effective damage due to flatter damage profile
6 meters less effective range
18 round before clip change ~ 2.5s and you can still switch weapons/sprint (rather than overheat for 5s, take 50 damage and then be helpless).
Also you can use the TAC AR on all suits, the scrambler is only competitive with the TAC AR on the amarr assault.

I've also heard those legends which is why I figure I gave it a go. I mean, with a basic minmatar scout with a militia bolt pistol and militia smg I can easily get 10 to 15 kills. With a medium heavy suit on an alt account I can get kills in the 20s range. I figure with the ammar I would get something in the 20s too since my main account has a lot of skills leveled up to 5. I mean these are not great numbers but they are decent. Nope, it didn't happen that way at all. I just think that maybe I'm too use to scouting or being a logi. With my gal logi which has lower ehp I can get kills in the teens every so often and glorious amount of war points in the 2k plus range easy. So, I'm definitely doing something very wrong with this ammar suit. or maybe I am a heretic and don't deserve to be part of the empire.
As a control try switching the the TAC AR. It is a gallente copy of the scrambler without the charge shot. That should give you a reasonable idea of if it is your playstyle or a gimped weapon.

Also you can use the TAC AR on all suits, the scrambler is only competitive with the TAC AR on the amarr assault. This sums up the issues with the ScR currently. The TacAR is just better, even on Amarr Assault. Except the TAR doesn't get that charge shot or headshot multiplier. Also, I don't think it takes 18 shots to kill every suit. The magazine is more then double the TAR. Don't forget the better hipfire and lack of kick on the ScR.
The magazine size is completely irrelevant when you have to stop firing after 12-15 shots for 5 seconds.
Also, hipfire was nerfed into the ground.
Finally, no additional headshot modifier.
