Mega Sceptile's problem is its typing. Nobody wants to waste their Mega slot on a fast, frail Grass / Dragon when they could be using Mega Lopunny, Metagross, Sableye, Altaria, Diancie, ect.
Now that we have Contrary Serperior, Sceptile lost its niche in OU. On top of that, Grass types are used for their defensive capabilities (in OU, at least).
It's a shame, Sceptile is a great Mega. It just doesn't do anything of note.
