Ohh cmon its just a weapon, and its a part of the game. Whats the next step when we have banned the FAN? Ban Stickies and Medigun’s cause they are also annoying.

So let me resume, let’s ban everything anybody dont like: ban Demo’s, Sniper’s, Soldier’s, Scout’s, Medic’s, Pyro’s, Heavy’s, Spies, Engies.
Hmm nothing left to rage about, so lets play CS :p

And a Public vote for that case is not fair, cause there are more Medics, Solis and Demos out there than Scouts, and not one of them will say: “FAN? i dont care!”.

!!!FAN limit 1 would be ok.!!!

Best argument yet

best argument for banning the fan is this: it still stuns.

ban the fan so bad scouts will still be bad

+1

Much more fun to stop a soldier from reaching spire by meatshotting him in the face with a scattergun :P

So a Scout with FAN is like Jesus, running over water and flying should not be a problem? No counter against a FAN Scout?

First of all, you have your distance, use it!!! If a Scout comes so close that you can’t react, you have made a big mistake that would also be punished with the normal Scattergun.If you get stunned by a Scout, just shoot him a Rocket or a Pipe right between the eye’s.
Imo thats a really good counter :p

If the FAN scouts always shoot you in the back you should think, why they have the chance to come behind you. Mayyyyybeeeeee that happens because you always look forward?

omg that’s why I keep getting killed by fan scouts, if I saw them coming I just turned around :OOO

Please let me know the counter to gran mid, scout goes from their ramp room you go left past you crates. You meet at the corner, close range. How do I counter that?

the counter to that situation is to get yourself an easy kill thanks to selfdamage!

Don’t meet at the corner. Doesn’t take a genious to figure that out.

Are you serious? Dont you think its pretty poor to name one situation where the FaN is at an advantage and call that an argument for banning the FaN?

The game doesnt need to be exactly fair at ALL times during the game – only at the beginning (that means, all the players have the exact same options to start with). If you’re standing alone in front of 3 enemies, that’s unfair. If the enemy has uber and you dont, thats unfair. If you got 5 pieces less than your opponent in chess, that’s unfair too.

The whole purpose of a game is to find situations where you are at the advantage to defeat your enemy. If all the situations had the same chance of outcome, the game would be pretty bad, don’t you think so?

If this weapon is so heavily overpowering and imbalanced, I wonder why still the majority of the scout uses the scattergun. And pls dont come with bullshit like “It’s boring to play with the FaN” or “It’s not honorful to play with the FaN”.
