I’ve told him like 4 times what hitscan characters are, but he just doesn’t get it. I tell him that Widowmaker is hitscan, and he says that she has projectiles and therefore isn’t hitsscan. I’ve told him what the hitscan means, where you click on a target and they take damage without a projectile, but he still doesn’t quite understand how it works and will still yell at me if I say Ashe is hitscan.
Your friend is just playing dumb. Ignore him.
