Well, might as well think this through logically. List the pros and cons!!!

Pros:
High DPS
Alpha damage <----------(might have to check)
Fast ROF
Reload speed
ADS zoom-in multiplier (how far you zoom in)
No spool-up time This is hardly a pro as nearly all weapons dont have one. it is a con for a select few
Hip-fire kick minimal
ADS kick minimal
hip-fire & ADS dispersion minimal
+20 to shields


Cons:
-20 to armour which is HUGE in the current armour meta
Overheat mechanism
Clip size
Weapon reload glitch (go to reload, it charges a shot for you)
Seize time damage
Distinct sound of charge shot
Only efficient on amarr assault (dies very quickly to gallente assault's with combat rifles)
Heat/second doesn't judge shots made in second (abused by turbo controllers)Abused by turbo doesnt call for a nerf for those legit. punish turbo
The fact that the player must track the target while keeping a respectable rate of fire, while minding heat levels.

edit: Who thinks they need imbalancing now?? QQ INCOMING!

Heat don't matter in any assault

Obviously you've never attempted to take a heavy or gal/amarr medium on with one or tried to take on multiple opponents no matter the suit

My only beef with it is that it is supposed to be a tactical weapon but is treated as a spam the **** out of the trigger type weapon.

Same goes for CR.

I have, using the Paladin Commando, git gud and control the engagement... Wait, are you one of the "assaults should be able to dominate Heavies at all ranges" Scrubs?

I've gone CQC with the ScR using both K&M and DS3 and the only thing that makes it a good CQC weapon is the auto aim controllers get. K&M users have a much much harder time using it in such fights.
