Able to deflect grenades

[Ryu]

Getting tired of blown up easily?Or always overthrowing your grenades?
Well today i have been thinking of a way to save your selves from grenades and stop overthrowing grenades.So what i came up is i reckon you should be able to delfect grenades with your spade in order to save yourselves.Also shooting the grenades in midair should potentially cause the grenade to blow up.If a grenade got thrown from behind a wall you can either shoot them in midair which causes to blow up or deflect it by using your trusty spade.Also You would be able to use it as a strategy where your overthrow you grenade purposely,then shooting the grenade to blow it up right on the spot.

Please tell me what you think of this idea?

I like it! :D

Deflecting a nade with a spade might be a bit difficult to pull off but if it can be programmed in, then I'm behind this idea 100%. Only problem I can see is greifers throwing nades in the air and whacking it at someone's fort, therefore making it a bit harder to find greifers (unless someone was watching said greifer)

A grenade doesn't actually blow up in real life if you shoot it :P
But I love the idea of deflecting a grenade with your spade! :D

It would if you shot it with an rpg.

I like this idea though. The spade thing is pretty good.

With the grenade right now as it is, its just useless. Everybody knows that a block can be placed onto the nade. And the chance to hit something with it when deflecting would be very small.

Shooting a nade is a nice idea. AoS shouldnt be a war simulator like battlefield, where everythong around explodes and almost nobody knows what is happening(one user even wrote"its not a game, its a war"). So its ok if things like that are implemented.

There seems to be another thread about the idea of throwing back grenades:

I'll just quote your OP in that thread.
