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.
I don’t think you can explain it to him. Hitscan is where you lick the person and they instantly take damage. Projectile is where you have to aim where you think they’re going for them to take damage. That’s as simple as it gets and if he can’t understand that then there is no hope.
