You can't really judge one of these events from a single, or even small handful, of lopsided wins.
I've played a bunch of games as both sides and unless one team or the other is stacked with super inexperienced or super experienced players they have all been extremely close and both sides seem to be able to have a decent chance at pulling off the win.
Yes, the favored tactic for the Scientists is to group together with a tangled web of heal beams stretched between them and are able to deal massive amounts of damage in this formation to any approaching Chomper or any Chomper who burrows up from beneath- but being in such a close group means that several can be gooped at once, and several will be hit by the Chomp Cannon splash damage, not to mention if several Spray-enabled Chompers Burrow into their midst and, instead of Chomping, simply burst up and start their Spray attack- I was able to get several multi-kill streaks using that tactic with my Fire Chomper
The Scientists will almost automatically group together and start using teamwork and if the Chompers do the same; attacking using Burrow in twos and threes or more, they can easily terrorize the Scientists and turn the game in their favor. But if the Chompers just stream in individually, especially by just charging in without a Burrow, the game is either going to stay pretty even or slowly turn to the Scientists favor.
I played this a few times last night and the OP is right on. The scientists have a distinct advantage. As a chomper, you can hope to get at least one scientist before you get destroyed. I get what others have said about the chomp cannon but not everyone has unlocked that.

In my observation, only having played maybe 4-6 rounds, whichever team is smart enough to bunch up in the middle is the one that wins, at least on most maps.

The Scientists will tend to bunch up, and that little group of huddled Scientists and tangled Heal Beams will tend to move a bit around the map- especially if the group get broken apart by multiple vanquishes by the Chompers.
Whether or not the Chompers win the round will depend on how the Chomper team attacks that group of Scientists.
