Here's the problem. Grenades like arcbolt and firebolt chain off of enemies. Although this okay in PvE, in PvP it is an absolute disaster.
Grenades are unfairly earning us kills. Although many people complain about Thorn's burn, it at least requires you to aim at the player (which actually takes skill). TLW and Thorn are both being bashed waaaay too much. They are both MLG worthy guns in case you didn't know.
In any case, if team mates during control decide to run out in front of you, regardless of what you are doing, you will get hurt by an enemy's arcbolt if it is chained off the scrub that charged in recklessly (let's not even get to firebolt with touch of flame and Viking funeral).
When the stormcaller warlock is released from TTK DLC it will have lightning grenades that will chain off of players that are impacted by it. Once more, certain exotic armors (*ahem voidfang vestments) will [i]reward[/i] bad kids with another super duper CHEAP GRENADE that will rack them kills like no one's business after respawning from death.
This gets back to my original point: arcbolt, firebolt and the new [b][i][u]OVERPOWRED[/u][/i][/b] lightning grenade from the stormcaller need to be changed [u]ASAP[/u]. The multiplayer that we all know and love deserve these changes for the best of competitive gaming.
So please - let's express our disproval to Bungie here. Maybe these grenades should be replaced entirely. What do you guys say?

Edited by Squid = ): 7/3/2015 12:26:51 AMI just hate how you can throw them around corners and do a lot of damage to a lot of people. Firebolt and Arcbolt have to much of a blast radius and too much damage.

dude u suck

Reporting for biased poll [spoiler]#Satire[/spoiler]

Speak for yourself kiddo lmao look at the poll
-
Tripmine grenades need a BUFF. Every time a person passes my tripmines, he/she won't die. They would still have a tiny piece of health.
-
You have to aim grenades to
-
Lol thorn would never be in competitive game play you stupid scrub it's op
-
Only op thing is firebolt with Viking funeral, arc bolt you only take half damage and can heal immediately, firebolt pretty much kills you and if it doesn't you can't heal for ages.
-
Im afraid i have to agree with everyone else, u must be trash to think those grenade types are op. I mean a sticky grenade that hones in on the enemy if the aim is off is fine for a free kill but those damn bolt grenades man, how will we ever compete? Really dude...
-
Firebolt doesn't chain.
-
Love how the majority of people disagreed.
-
I think Bungie should make grenades a basic weapon available to each character type and subclass. Perhaps they could make three grenade options per subclass. This way, you could choose a grenade type that suits your play style. Until then, I'm boycotting Destiny. Stupid grenades. More like, gaynades, amiright?

This is a huge problem! We need to buff the effect of this horrible b8!

Edited by GuardianzOfWar : 7/2/2015 10:34:03 PMFirebolt grenade is a part of a Sunsingers super. Learn to adapt to it. When you Res or activate Radiance you are stuck in a motion where you take damage during. Firebolt grenades allow to kill ppl while being team shot by pretty much everyone once they see you activate it. Arc bolts make an already dangerous Hunter even more so. Don't think they're OP either. Somebody throws one run around a corner. You won't be hit by it. Stop with these OP threads now. I can totally understand the whole Thorn nerf. Ppl have a point with that. But now we're moving onto gernades? I mean seriously?
-
Nahh, you're just trash obviously.
-
I love seeing a poll with biased options! Who cares about what people feel? I'm gonna make their conclusions FOR them!
-
I've had skirmish matches where 3 locks essentially have unlimited grenades and it makes for a pretty boring game. you can't really do anything to combat it. Otherwise grenades aren't an issue in my opinion.
-
Lightning grenades aren't new
-
Are we really running out of things to complain about?

Edited by Just A Mag: 7/2/2015 8:28:35 PMIf OPs a fgt and you know it, amd really want to show it clap your hand *Clap Clap*
-
Either troll, idiot, or both, take your pick. Saying grenades that are cheap because they can chain off of teammates is the same thing as saying any opponent's weapon is cheap that killed me because my teammates couldn't establish map control.
-
You made a biased poll and still people disagreed with you lol that's awesome
-
Edited by BirdieJuice: 7/2/2015 9:26:32 PMso many times in the crucible i giggle and laugh at an enemy because of how terrible of a grenade he just threw at me. then said grenade kills me and i cry a little
-
Obvious satire is obvious. [spoiler]if this isnt satire then go play CoD and tell me more about op grenades.[/spoiler]
-
All I heard was " thorn and the last word aren't overpowered because they are guns and you need to aim at something to kill it"
