Why is flash/fan spam even allowed?

Has anyone else been getting fan-the-hammer-only mcrees rolling around the map and flash-fanning everyone? This is ridiculous, blizzard. These trolls are just spamming right click all game and getting these cheap kills and stuns. I dont mind the normal mcree players who actually aim the gun and get big plays, but these clowns who combat roll around the map and only do stun combos and FTH kills need to be banned or something

Its super annoying as tank, with fth they get more damage off on you than a reaper…

Nothing new. This has always been a thing, and its been far more lethal in the past.

Yes you’re not the only one Karen.

They’re not trolls they’re using the mechanics that the game has.

No, you got off position and you believe they should be punished for taking advantage into that?

You tell me, Fan used to do the full 70 per bullet, that’s like 25 for the flash and 420 for the whole Volley.

Would shred Zaryas and Reinhartds faster than a Bastion could.


There's a second opinion for you. -Doc

Its super aggravating. These players cant aim so they just walk around the map and machine gun tanks down and stun-FTH healers from behind random corners. I play and hear mcrees FTH sound coming from somewhere in the map for the entire duration of the match. Super aggravating

Before or after the headshot nerf for sentry though? God I miss that lmao

Lol you should’ve seen release mcree if you thought fan was overpowered.

Why you in melee range of Mcree?

I’d say after the nerf but then again, F+F did 445 with bodyshots only, so if a bastion went for bodyshots only the burst wouldn’t reach near that high.

why do they keep getting away with it if you know this is all they’re doing?

Flashing with Mcree is Skill, you’re just bad and can’t avoid it. Marred use their mechanical skill and positioning to get the kill. This is fair and hence why you should just git Gud.

Oh yeah… was it used to crit along with dealing 70 damage?

:rofl: It’s so much fun though. :yum:

I be honest, even if i dont used fan the hammer, but still stuned people before hs them with normal shoots, they were anyway mad at me and expressed their frustration over text chat. There is no way to make people not complain about it imo even if fan would be weaker because its still stun that make you defencless :man_shrugging:

Why aren’t you playing McCree and just right clicking people across the map then?

To be fair, that is because Reaper sucks, not because fan is strong. Armor like halves Reaper’s damage.

Even ignoring armor, max reaper damage is 280 I believe and that’s if you get a perfect point blank headshot.
Flash fan is 325 and doesn’t even need to be accurate.

How dare they use a fire mode which is absolute garbage outside this one scenario?
How dare they use it after they’ve hit the stun successfully on me?

Because Blizz couldn’t think a better ability
