It's hard to toss around the word or abbreviation "OP" properly in a game filled with so many cheap ways to get killed but many think Felwinter's Lie is this super OP shottie/sniper that ruins PVP. I do die by it often but since I prefer to stick with teammates it's rare to see Felwinter's go on a killing spree due to its poor ROF. So I ask: Is Felwinter's lie flawed and overpowered or balanced by its slow ROF? Thoughts?

Felwinter's excels in one on one, but really falls off when dealing with two or more enemies in CQC thanks to its poor RoF. The only perk that natively buffs it's RoF is full auto, which cuts the ammo dump time in half. The issue with this perk is you are loosing out on shot package. I think it's fine as is. There are natural trade offs for the incredibly high impact. The only combo which could be considered OP is shot package + hammer forged. Even the Vanguard shotty has this roll and despite having a lower overall impact, can still kill a Felwinter user just as easily.
