[Poll] Grenades and Spades in Arena

[Daniella]

Grenades in the Arena game type can be overpowered or spammed repeatedly so we want to know your opinion on how we should handle this.Some say they're overpowered and that most of their deaths are due to spammed grenades in a cramped area while others say this is just part of the game and shouldn't be changed. In my opinion it takes the fun out of the game and makes it too easy to kill and get killed.

Another problem people have with Arena are spades which are "overpowered" and can be glitched to hit people through walls. I say they're fine as they are.

So just pick one option for grenades and for spades (Im using the honor system here) on how you'd like to see them dealt with in the future.

Thanks :)

Reduce damage on Spades and Getting rid of grenades entirely.

My opinion. No real reason, just seems like getting rid of the spade entirely would be.... meh.

This. Arena is made for shotguns and spades (maybe SMGs) but grenades ruin it.

I really hate the grenades in Arena. The Spade is alright, but the grenade spam is just ridiculous.

If you're not aware enough to avoid getting spaded by some deuce then that's your own fault. Pay more attention to your surroundings and don't camp where you can easily be outflanked.

Grenade spam is just plain infuriating and I'd love seeing grenades removed entirely.

i like using the spade and grenades but i realize how overpowered they can be on certain arena maps, especially the super tiny ones. i think cutting down their damage to something like 25% of what they do now would be better than completely disabling them. worth a try at least, right?

Well I think the amount of grenades and their damage should be decreased. Maybe one grenade a person? Though, I do think not having grenades would be quite neat. It would allow more gun on gun action, rather than throwing a grenade across the map getting a triple kill.

Though when it comes to spades, I think they should stay the same. It's not the person's fault that person was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I think that there should be a delay in the time you can throw the grenades. Like, you can only throw a grenade 5 seconds after the last one you threw. This would prevent the grenade spamming but keep the grenade useful for room cleaning.

I was playing planeassualt today and believe that map should get rid of grenades completely.

The servers are usually comprised of smg'ers with like 1 or 2 shotgunners proportionate to the total number of players. Semis are rarely seen outside of that one map with two towers facing eachother. Anyways.

Grenades from ive seen is mostly spammed stupidly around corners (Where people throw all three in rapid sucession) so all you really need to do is have some cover. Grenades are by no means overpowered.

And spade is closer than shotgun close. You have zero excuse for dying from a sword at a gunfight. (I see the wall thing as a perk, just dont hug walls)

aloha arena last team standing is now running with significantly reduced nade damage and slightly reduced spade damage. a fully healed person will die by 2 to 3 nearby nade explosions or 3 spade hits. if he's missing any health at all 2 spade hits will kill him.

open to feedback so please give it a try and share your thoughts: aos://713081799:37000

1) I think 2 grenades instead 3 would be better
2) Spade shouldn't 1-hit anyone, you can practically rush into a room and kill everyone too easily.
