Yes, but they added a pointless feature that goes completely against what they said. They said they wanted people to be able to look back and say “if i did this i would of survived” but how can you say that if you do everything right then die from a lucky crit? My point is its utterly hypocritical.

they should have added the ability to midair rockets with other rockets and pipes

that would be sick :D

Would be cool if they exploded but people would miss use it to TK etc … but would still be lolish

Shock rifle ftw?

YOU COULD ROCKET JUMP…
OFF OF ROCKETS!

I’ll say it again, scouts can do virtually anything a soldier or demo can do in the way of jumps now, without taking any self-dmg – and that’s a big thing, because when a soldier or demo RJ/SJ’s he leaves himself well within the range of a two-shot from outside point blank range.

Valve said they were aware of how powerful scouts are in competitive games and yet literally none of the changes so far go anyway to rectifying this imbalance; and leagues wont go scout limit one because the top teams are top largely because of the scout duo and would fight strongly against any change which would mean more emphasis placed upon the heavy classes.

They still fucked up on the fan even after beta testing unless its going back for more changes. The only thing people complained about was the knockback and the insane ammount of damage it did with 2 shots. Yet they went ahead and changed more than those two things.

i started using the fan because of these jumps, srsly they are op

I heard all this before with the old FaN, scouts defending it despite it being clearly over powered.

Actually, I fucking hate the thing. I’m not so much defending it, because it is one of the most annoying guns. However, since the update, less and less scouts (including myself on badlands) have ceased to use it. I’m putting effort into not getting it banned because people are bitching because the scout has something other classes don’t. With the whole knockback effect being fixed and rendering the gun almost useless in most 1v1 situations, this is just a small add-on to equal it out imo. The soldiers and demos don’t hurt themselves at point blank range, which, in my opinion, is a MUCH clearer advantage than being able to jump to places.

Remains to be seen, the weapon is absolutely lethal once you get behind the enemy, and the movement ability now means getting behind has become alot easier.

Get your ears checked, pretty much no one (at least higher div scouts) defended the old fan.

iirc there were a lot of people defending the old fan
