Opinion?

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

At least that ability is useful for something now

it's always been good against garrisoned units. didn't used to take the buildings down though.

Just for the record, i'm not talking about effectiveness of dislodging units from inside rather than taking down the whole building.

i know. romeo implied that they sucked before though. tbh i haven't seen it against buildings since the patch, i just reinstalled today, but i have used them before against garrisoned units.

They did suck before, and they still do. For 15 munis more you could buy a gren LMG, it's a horrible ability.

I don't agree. Pre-patch the assault grenades could often wipe full health squads in buildings and do massive damage against squads out in the open.

yeah and a stuka bomb strike CAN destroy an entire army in one hit, that doesn't mean it ever actually happens against skilled opponents.

There are only a hand full of players whom you see consistently dodge grenades. Sure you are not going to nail Jesulin with it, but he dodges all grenades. They work fine against 99% of the people you will face, they even work against the average top 50 1v1 player. Unless you only consider players like Jesulin and OMG-POP as skilled, in that case yeah, Assault Grenades are useless, just like half the abilities in this game.
