Assuming you’re talking about the Shadowlands Alpha changes to it… well… it’s literally what you do with it now, in BfA, and in Legion. Only difference is that the stun was removed.
The baked in buff that it gives to Pistol Shot is literally the Deadshot trait from Azerite gear.

Good, nerf dem rogues. 
Arguably a buff since you won’t be holding on BtE and DRing stuns that your tank might need in keys; you’ll just be able to dump BtE on targets more willy-nilly and save Kidney Shot for when it’s called/appropriate to do so.
Also better for the health of the game in PvP, since it’ll force Outlaw Combat rogues to think more carefully about which target they’re going to stun, which cooldown they’ll use to apply it if it’s far away from them, and offer counterplay. Use the meats inside your braincase, you’re not a Demon Hunter.

It’s probably because Kidney Shot is coming back.
They should just get rid of BtE and pistol shot…
I miss using shurikens and daggers…

You assuming people are going to want to pvp as outlaw
Combat RMD was a thing, and Outlaw was very viable in 2’s and 3’s in Legion. Don’t discount the possibility of Outlaw PvP.
I actually agree here. Not a fan of the pirate fantasy. Especially since for some reason now we slash diagonally upwards fighting gravity with our swords. Like what the heck. If combat i mean, outlaw, was designed to be a pirate, if they thought rapiers, they would’ve done thrusts, but they’re doing slashes so I’m thinking its the cutlass wielding fantasy image they went for. A buccaneer or swashbuckler or what have you.
Why would you EVER slash upwards repeatedly. For the riposte, or main gauche animation, sure that’s great, throw in an unorthodox slash to surprise the foe. But for your primary attack? What the heck? It’s just weird. I can’t stand playing outlaw from the visuals alone. Not to mention the weird pistol weaving that doesn’t feel fluid at all.
And the sound effect doesn’t change even if I’m using maces, or fist weapons. It’s just this cartoony slice noise. Honestly gets me upset.
