It literally HAS been nerfed last update and a few times before that though, meanwhile this update is largely a good thing for Hammer - especially status Hammer. That said, perhaps what's actually bothering you is the ML Tornado augment for Scorpion, which indeed is overpowered mainly due to having a colossal reload reduction for no real reason.

I believe the nerf of the hammer is in purpose of promoting the use of the special augment for hammer like emp, stun and stuff, because with the increased of the fire rate, those special status augment will be useful because you will be able to shoot more frequently when a player will be affected by your stun or emp status

That may be so, but I'd suspect it's also because the original Hammer was very toxic to Light hulls - that turret single-handedly made them a poor choice for most battles, since it could bust them down in one shot and they could not even react - now they do have a second to take action.
