Hitscan is cringe, overpowered, and probably ruined TF2 forever

Stock projectiles (except needles) are more fun.

[Tutu 💚™❤️ ~^^)]

We need advanced trajectory like in Project Zomboid mod, basically it makes every bullet a fast projectile.

Hitscan is based, balanced, and make tf2 extremely fun.
There's no reason they can't co-exist with projectiles if the projectiles remain the stronger option that are less safe because of travel time.

I think shotguns are still good, due to their very limited range, and the nature of the damage being dependent on pellets which gives a wide range of possible outcomes depending on accuracy and distance.

e: and of course I'm talkin with fixed spreads, but that goes without saying.

How are projectiles less safe if they take time to travel and give u a chance to dodge them?

You answered your own question there, they take time to travel and give you a chance to dodge them. Hitscan is a safer option for you to use because you can't just dodge it, projectiles are riskier because you can dodge it

If i didn't explain it good enough, you can't just dodge hitscan so the only thing stopping you from comoletely missing hitscan is yourself, making it safer.

Projectiles can be good or bad. Consider the pomson, the bison.

Hitscan is based, uncringe, fair and balanced git gud lol

hitscan is fine, it's usually low ttks that make them obnoxious and tf2 is on the higher end of that spectrum

[Emurinus]

Finally, bait with a twist. Unlike hitscan.

[DahCobra]

Haha, nice one, you almost had me!

Source is known for disliking having a lot of entities on screen, hitscan solves this problem. Also most weapons are effective at close range, meaning if you change every weapon to be a very fast projectile weapon, most encounters would play the same.

Hitscan should deal splash damage and 60 second afterburn

[dag]

Yeah, hitscan is a crutch!!!

[grape cough syrup]

Hitscan has been a part of Team Fortress since the beginning.

[hoofy]

just say you hate sniper so we can get to your point faster

TF2 was ruined forever since 2007.
