Weapon stuns, disrupts aim, makes you a sitting duck for spam. Why isn’t it banned yet?

Hmm the weapon is annoying. BAN THE F*CKER!!

Why would you ever ban this? Finally Valve releases a nice sidegrade (Sandvich = downgrade, KGB = upgrade, Medic guns except healing = upgrades, etc). Now you guys want it banned becasue ‘it is annoying’.

The game is supposed to be challenging, not just sit on ur ass and get everything for free. Live with it, after 2 shots he needs to reload and you are free to rape his ass.

Oh wait, i forgot. When you get launched by a rocket, you are actually stunned too, so lets ban the Rocketlauncher and the Pipebomb Launcher too! ;)

Hitscan vs projectile. You can anticipate which way you will be flying from a rocket. A rocket actually launches you most of the time and doesn’t freeze you. And you can also attempt to dodge a rocket to prevent getting stunned. And even if you hang in the air for a while due to a rocket you can still double jump away, but with the fan that’s impossible because of the firing speed it has got. As a scout in fairly small rooms you get dicked by soldiers all the time, and also by decent demos. Now you can add fan scouts to that to. Because his increased fire speed + only low dmg needed to provide enough stun for 2nd meat shot, makes it so you don’t really stand a chance. Even if you get that perfect scattergun meatshot you still lose. You can’t really anticipate for these situations. The only solution would be if you and your scout buddy would get a meatshot at the same time or you take a soldier with you or something. I find it kinda gamebreaking if you always need to go around a corner with 2 people.

Total stun time from a fan is comparable to total stun time you can generate with the sandman. We should allow the sandman now, esp since it’s nerf. Since it’s nerf it can’t stun ubers and is comparable to the fan in terms stun.

Since the update the fan just got more powerful because of the added movement it got.

The nerf to the fan was removing the ability to bounce people with both shots. Now you can only bounce people with 1 shot and the second shot wont.

Which isn’t really a nerf in scout v scout. Because the first shot stuns, makes you a sitting duck and then you get dicked by a meatshot because nobody misses a stationary target.

Yeah, i do agree they havent fixed it aswell as they should of, hopefully the beta testers can help fix it properly. But for the moment I think we just need to get used to it.

Movement is fine yeah, but since it’s a positive thing it just adds to the fan’s power. I’ve seen so many scouts that can’t do shit with the scattergun suddenly be able to hit stuff simply because of the stun.

Only thing that you forget Koeitje, is the fact that you are still able to shoot while hitted by the fan. Most fan scouts just rush up when they hitted the first shot to do more damage. As a soldier or demo you can just easily shoot the scout.

Really, there is no point in banning this gun.
