Before the Scatter nerf and FAN boost, was balanced, now it isn’t…

+1 for Ban the Fan

So that’s why the majority of the community didn’t use it?

If the majority had would it be classed as balanced still?

Quite frankly I just find it hella annoying so any excuse to ban people using it I’m game

Apart from Arnold, I’ve never really see any scout use the FaN in a topdiv league match.
You can hardly deny that it wasn’t a frequently used gun.

The majority used scattergun, so by your logic the two were not balanced before the buff.

Also what scatter nerf? :s

this:

After the new buff the FaN does max damage of 113 at perfect close range, the scatter was about 103 (which was nerfed from 110 in the same update) the off thing was that the FaN was much more damagnig over mid range on many occasions donig 60 damage from 3/4 of the length of the duel arena where the scattter was donig 20 max, but then sturggling to do damage at close range in some occasions, this was all with etf2l config loaded so static damage values etc

We found in a open area the FaN scout will rape the scatter one due to better damage and the other scout being unable to close. Damage per second wise they are equal pretty much with fan doing 226 damage a second but having a down time of a second so 113 for reload and the scatter gun with about 1 and a bit shots a second with no donwtime so on that the scatter is the superior weapon

danny.
