Why do people think it's OP? You use a melee and a grenade to get a kill. That seems fair enough. I don't hear people complaining about Sticky grenades and they kill you in one shot without the use of a melee. It's not that hard to get out of either, unless your directly in the middle and in that case the fella who got you simply did a good job. So I'm a bit curious as to what makes people think it's OP? Perhaps it's something I'm not seeing.
[spoiler]Now before people say that I main a Hunter and that I use this "wombo combo" I just have to say that I use Nightstalker because of my dream to one-day be able to get a group of enemies tethered (while I have bloodbound) and actually get the kills NOT for some melee grenade combo. I hardly ever get lucky enough to tether a large group of enemies and when I do I end up getting killed before I land :([/spoiler]

I think it's time to stop calling a combo,let's face it it's the smoke that does all the work.If someone is in the smoke then simply just shooting them is enough rather than wasting a grenade too.I would wager that most complaints about it stem from ToO where salt runs that little bit more,and teams stick together making this combo even more deadly. Same thing with sunsingers,ToO will be where it originates due to whole teams getting tagged easier due to how close they stay together (actually tbh IMO it's not the DoT damage that is the deadliest part,it's the fact that you get wallhacks whilst it is active allowing for an easy chase)
