Dev broke it down well the only time a nerf is needed is when most kills are done with a single rifle.(thats what Ive always said. Thats the only time we need nerfs)
Barring that .Im sure you would like further penalties inflicted on the Scrambler Rifle, never mind the fact that the Lp Min Logi BPO is the only Lp BPO with a Advanced Assault primary weapon.
PS I dont even use the Scrambler
PPS. The standard Scr has a reduced magazine size which means reloading more often , which means Sp devoted to rapid reload. Lets also take into account only one suit in the game , the Amarr assault can use it effectively because of heat build up
PPPS ......and you're not biased are you ??? .......... right ...........

Because the Sentinel - a third tier dropsuit, with the highest base EHP of all the dropsuits, needs three charged shots to kill it, it's not out of balance?
Right.
The average dropsuit people are running out there is somewhere between 400 and 600 EHP. Sentinels are between 850 and 950 without any augmentations.
What are the numbers for a second tier Scrambler rifle with say a basic damage enhancement. Enough to kill most characters with a charged shot and one or two additional shots?
The problem most Scrambler users have is using it as a short range or medium range weapon. It is a medium to long range weapon and takes some getting used to.
My suggestion is to have the charged shot use more than one ammo and a reduction in the clip size. Maybe 5 is too high, maybe 3 ammo for a charged shot is more reasonable. Maybe 25 ammo in the clip is more in line with other weapons.
I can honestly not say with or not I have been killed with an Assault Scrambler.
I have been killed many times by Vizian Scramblers. Not just from Am Assaaults, but scouts and commandos, and mediums, etc.
It isn't out of whack like Rail Rifles were, but it is out of whack with the other weapons.
Your argument is flawed . Using EHP as the basis for you argument doesnt take into the account the other mitigating factors.Such as biggest hit box when it comes to the Sentinel and it gets hit by everything even people using hip fire and not even actually ADS'ing.
Id also like to point out that if your going to make a comparison using Heavies as your argument Im failing to see the part where you've mentioned that a standard shotgun can do the same thing to all heavy frames in the game.
