I think that the scientists range needs boosting a little,yes i understand the "short range" but look at the archaeologist, he has ten times the range compared to a chemist shooting kernal corn at point blank
what im saying is your so called "balancing update" did nothing. id rather not die a few million times as a scientist just because his range is horrific(partly my skills too but thats not the point)
The short range Scientists can actually be incredibly devastating in the hands of someone who adapts their play style to suit the close combat environment.
The key to doing good with them is to understand the weapon characteristics; each Scientist variant which has a short range has a particular shotgun-style damage spread which you should become familiar with because the wider the blast the better you can use that to your advantage when you're up in the faces of your Plant opponents.
You also need to learn to use your Warps effectively to get into, and out of, close range combat since they are key to your survival and combat effectiveness so don't waste them in just moving across the empty map.
Some of my best combat performances with a Scientist have been while using the Chemist, both in terms of total vanquished as well as in vanquish streaks.
