Prototype Caldari Scout, though in truth it is Proto MinLogi, CalScout, Madrugar, Gunnlogi, and Advanced AmarrSent but I mostly only use my Caldari Scout.
I don't think the nerfs are too rough. The dynamic scan is actually pretty interesting to me. The nerf to Scan while cloaked is one that I actually like in practice. It is a specific choice between being unseen and being able to see. I disagree with the concept that "the only defense I truly have is [your] ability to see enemies." If you are Cloaked, your primary defense is the ability to not be seen whether by Radar or visually. You are trading one defense for another in the same way that Armor Plated Scout sacrifice Speed for HP.
For me, I will Cloak into an area, hide behind a wall, and decloak. I will check my map to see if there is anyone around. In this regard, I am turning my Scan into a weapon because I will use it to get into position while remaining quite safe. I see it as "when I activate my defense I lose my offense" given the weapon delay and scan detriment. It is all how you look on it. It isn't difficult to adapt to the change; if I can do something with my mediocre self, anyone should be able to do it.
I am sorry that you are no longer enjoying your suit of choice and are not enjoying the game. I hope you can find some enjoyment elsewhere but I still suggest that you give it another shot.

"I will check my map to see if anyone is around." THAT'S THE PROBLEM. The Nerf made it so much harder to see enemies. And I may keep playing, just because I've played since beta and it is so hard to give up the game. I just wish CCP hadnt hit us scouts so hard.
It only made it harder when cloaked. The only thing that the nerf did was remove the free lunch that was the cloak. It is still completely fine. I use an Advanced Cloak. I found myself doing the same thing anyway even when the change was not in place because I always wanted to be sure that I would have half my Cloak in the event that I needed to run and hide.
For my play style, the alteration was very minor.
