Is the Force-a-Nature a bad thing now?

[chis]

I left TF2 for a while, and I came back, and I started using the FaN. Only to get called "dumb" for using it.
Did it become a bad thing while I was gone?

Some people find Force of Nature annoying, and it's usually added in "Lime Scout" stereotype.

Not at all, it's just the hate for it.

I call it the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-Awful-Gun.

Annoying but not a problem. Thanks to f*cking Red Robot scunts everywhere started using FaN with Crit A Cola allowing to kill extremely quickly.

I've not seen FaN Scouts in months, actually.

Probably because I play with Mid-Prem Scouts on Skial and MGE who only use Stock.

Use just about any weapon, someone will either say you're bad for using it or get angry that you are using it.

The soda popper is a annoying weapon.

Worst than a FaN scout.

This is TF2.

No matter how you kill somebody they will complain about it.

Honestly, when I think Foce-A-Nature, I don't think pissing off everybody with an awful lime cosmetic. When I think Force-A-Nature I think using this as a mobility tool and in conjunction with the Winger and the Atomizer.

Why ? Because I noticed the stock scatter gun, despite the mentality where the Scatter Gun is the best for all situations, sucks so damn hard. Not just because it sucks in the RoF, but it don't allow you to take advantage of Scout's mobility. Nothing more fun than blasting yourself with the FaN's knockback mechanic and drop off from nowhere (especially with the Winger and Atomizer).

But I won't deny there is some bastards with the FaN that ruin the reputation of this shotgun but usually they cannot use the knockback as a mobility tool. You would be surprised to see what you can do with it.
