Scientists seem overpowered only to those who don't know how to deal with them.
Then please tell me how to deal with a Scientist that is SUDDENLY in your face! Because that basicly usually how it is. Thats where the problem is.
I dnt mind them having a warp, but they should NOT be able to take you out with ~3 shots and not you being able to dodge them what so ever!!
THATS the problem!
H U G E spread and H U G E dmg together with a warp.
So you say he takes a big risk getting up close. Well let me tell you that you are most likely dead before you know it.
So tell me, how do you deal with him when he is in your face with his supergun? How do you move out of his spread?
The biggest problem i have with Scientists now is the Sticky Explody Ball. It allows the Scientist to abandon his healing once again and even cover ground he can't even see.
And once thrown behind an opponent like a flower, they will walk right into it to receive 50-100 dmg. So it can be even less than 3 hits to vanquish someone.
And then these balls have terrible hitboxes and way too much HP. I've had it so many times, that i stood there for 10 seconds shooting at a Sticky Ball that was in the way, only to see a blind team mate walk right into it.

As Chomper you just Goop Spikeweed/Burrow. As Pea you immediatly go into hyper you hear the Teleport.
As Citron you can Ball up and speed away/into him or EMPeach him. As Corn you Husk Hop away or take him out with it.
As Rose you just Goatify him. As Torchwood you just roast him with the fire breath.
Only as Cactus and Sunflower you will have a hard time. The Cactus requires precice aim and Nuts/Potao Mines.
The Sunflower is most likely dead if the Scientist has full health. But a Heal Flower and the armor from Solar Flare Beam can help.
