The grenade spam is real. Nerf or reduce the number of grenades. That is all.
Agreed. Grenades are making me really not want to play this game. The TTK is long, and grenades do so much damage that they are now the most viable weapons in the game. Combined with the fact that there is no cool down between throws and no friendly fire to cause people to consider tosses, the spam is just out of control and feels absolutely oppressive. If I pop my head around a corner and the other team sees me, I can have up to 6 grenades thrown at me in almost no time at all. Not sure what the solution is: reduce damage, cool down throws, starting with fewer nades, having friendly fire… but something needs to change IMO.
I’m firmly in the camp that grenades would be fine if you just turned friendly fire back on. There has already been several times while I’ve been playing that I’ve had enemies beat in a close quarters fights but one of their teammates comes along with grenades, rockets, or even the hammer and kills me while the guy I had down to no shields walks away fine. The lack of consequences when it comes to any area of effect weapons completely throws off pacing and balance, in my opinion.
