You don't play pubs much I see...
Your arguments are so wrong that I don't even know where to begin! For once, SG has not ruined the weapon balance in AC, the monster AR has. If you want to play competitively in a clan match you are forced to recur to AR or you will be crushed. Tell me the last time you played a match against a good team of players with decent fps and lower ping and won without AR. For instance, couple days ago Sacer and I were playing against BoB, I started with smg and Sacer with sniper, we were raped for 5 mins till we went ARing on them and turned the game around. It happened 3 games in a roll and you tell me that the problem is the SG?!?
The other thing is: there are only a few players that actually know how to handle the SG well and to tell that it is a point and click weapon and useless in clan matches shows just how little understanding you have of it.
As for no good pub players, there are a lot of guys with loads of potential playing pubs, but as most of AC players is very unlikely that they will perfom well without some 6 months of constant play time. I remember that me and Barute play vs Stayla and some guy in his first couple of months of AC and it was ugly to the point that they forfeit the ctf games and we ended it up playing a couple TOSOK games with pretty much the same results. If you see the demos you would never say he would become a player in the level that he is today, but trust me, took him some time to achieve this. You have to give ppl time to learn their way around AC, those who stick around for more than just a few months will start to play in a decent competitive level. Players will most likely begin with SG and once they learn the maps and how to move around them they will realise that for some maps that might not be the best option, and they will change weapons. After a while they will learn how to master them. People are not stupid as you are implying.
The SG needs to be nerfed down a little bit and the same MUST be done for AR. Bring the sniper back to 1.04 values and it will work just fine with the new armour. Bring down the smg's mad spread. I'm sure that with those chances the gameplay would be much better, for both pubs and matches. It's just a matter of finding the right numbers and I'm confident the devs are getting there!
