Plate strafe speed got nerfed. I switch out a plate on my Amarr Assault for a ferroscale. Accepted the 66 drop in health and continued business as usual. ScR got its mag size nerfed. Specced into rapid reload, reload more often and continued my business as usual.
I find MinAss to be irritating only because they seem to move back and forth more than normal suits. I now carry a Core locus for them, with a charge shot to remove their shield. They need a tweak for sure, but far from invincible. GalAss... Can't say I see too many. Nothing a charge shot and Core locus cannot handle.
Overall I'm having to adapt some, but it isn't breaking the playstyle of the AmAssault. It is more tedious to be sure, but far from unviable. I'm not sure how Nocturnal plays the suit (I'd actually love to run some afw with him sometime) but while the extra mag size was appreciated, more often than not I find myself switching to my SMG to finish off an opponent before I hit the overheat. For my purposes, the magazine doesn't really NEED to be bigger than 20-23 shots since I flip to my sidearm most of the time. It does affect dealing with multiple opponents to be sure, but with some rapid reload I rarely find myself in a situation where I would have survived had I had more ammo in the mag.
I am by no means against increasing the mag size, and definitely not wanting it to be lowered any more. But it isn't the end of the world for the weapon.

To be honest, I like how i can put out more DPS than most other guns. The overheat provides a greta balancing factor. More often than not, I switch to my sidearm to close the deal than I do killing them with the scrambler itself, barring of course militia suits and the like. It has advantages to be sure, but it also has disadvantages that are not trivial.
