As you said, with your reasoning, any new weapons (PVP oriented) would deserve the same fate of being "useless/nerfed".
C : the gun is good, fit some play style, compete with other same weapons archetype, give some new balanced perks.
And some player enjoy playing the way they want, without any consideration for the "meta". Bungie objective is (I think) to bring the more diversity inside PVP loadout (even if shotty aren't really lacking in this department actually), so why being so negative ?

They have had 6 years to bring "diversity" into PvP. One weapon isn't going to do that, especially another shotgun.

Just speaking from my point of view here. I like 720 AR. Sidearm. pulse rifle & scout. dislike shotgun and revolver. I'm definitely average, and maybe by using shotgun + revolver, I'd have a better KD. But I don't care, I use the weapons I like, and it seems viable in PVP. I don't speak for the competition/trial, just in quick play, I use the weapons with which I have fun. Maybe Felwinter will be fun to use (for me and some other player), maybe not, maybe OP, maybe not. At least wait until we can actually use it before criticiz it, that all :)

C will be basically impossible for Felwinters. Have you looked at the perks at all?
