ye the mechanic is broken because you want it to be broken.
there’s no statement from valve as to what the knockback needed to do, or how it needed to function.

if this is valve’s intended function for the forceback to work, then they’re pretty retarded so i’m going to err on the side of caution and assume that valve are not as retarded as most people seem to think and say it’s a bad mechanic that isn’t working as intended or that they overlooked

they broke the mechanics for natasha 2 updates in a row, where each update it reverted to doing less damage and less effective slowdown. they are pretty capable of fucking things on a massive level.

and with natasha, they went like a month without noticing it was broken.

All this crap around the FaN is useless. It’s a game ffs and new weapons create new varieties… You don’t wanna play custom maps, you dont change your class line-up and now you dont want to use the new weapons they make… the reason i quitted css was because it was always the same and imo tf2 is going to the same way…

We need to play more custom maps and learn to adapt to every new update that’s just what this game is all about. adapting to new situation with your team. Tf2 is about being smarter then your opponent and try to get the upper hand if you’re playing against someone who uses the Fan just adapt to it. You’ll find a way and it gives new perspectives to the gameplay…

All who’s against the new updates or just new innovations is just a conservative prick

Amen

yes let’s assume they missed the programming of a weapon…
let’s assume they spent hours working on the wrong mechanics of a gun, and yet failed to notice it was broken even months after the update was released.

yes because there’s no precedent for that before hurrr

as kovacs (i think) said you have to weigh up whether or not the slight variety its inclusion brings to the game is worth the tradeoff in its effects on gameplay.

i don’t think it’s been used enough yet to really be sure, but all i know is that this game is spammy enough, and any weapon that stuns you in place is going to cause frustration and damage the already lacking pace.

Still would like to know what kind of special tactic you need vs a fan scout on spire or gravelpit C. You can take him down by sending more up there than he can shoot or sticky spam, but doesn’t that take away the enjoyment of the game? Slowing down the game even more just because there is 1 out of 6 players in a certain position?

This weapon is a fun sucker. Most people think that way.
And it takes the flow out of the game. Tf2 is a slow game anyway compared to most shooters. Now you got a weapon that slows it down even more by stunning people.

Its no fun to play against. The only one who enjoys it is the scout who uses it.
Ofc its not that gamebreaking, but its as annoying as the sandman. At least in my eyes.

Really, if the game will end up with standar lineup, granary / badlands only at season 7 or so, I and probably a whole bunch of others will quit. I see more fun in having a variety than to play the same game over and over again.

Atleast, I wouldn’t play TF2 if there was no variety other than maybe one new map after some seasons. It’s 70% badlands and granary, sometimes we get to play turbine, well or gravelpit, or sometimes freight, but then everyone whines because it’s a noob map and they lost because noone plays it (Mich *cough*).

I rather play Gran & Bad all the time because Well,turbine isn’t fun. I play because it’s fun, then i wanna play maps that are fun. Why do you think everybody plays gran and bad? Because they are fun and balanced maps.
Gravel can also be fun time to times :)
