​It's been a long time since the grenade launcher nerf patch.

I still can't forget that moment.. honestly, it was a very unpleasant experience.


I do agree that the weapon had a lot of power, but the nerf made it so weak that it became nearly unusable in actual gameplay.


As I kept playing the game, I noticed a clear trend: 

in the month following the patch, I saw a few returning players using the grenade launcher here and there. 


But recently? I haven’t seen a single person using it  not one. and I’m including both European and Asian players in that observation.


Back then, you guys told the community that blance team would nerf the generade launcher first and then monitor its pick rate.

Did you follow through with that? I’m genuinely curious. Is the current pick rate even 1% of all players? 0.5%?

Because from what I’ve seen, it feels closer to zero.


I think it's about time we got some answers.

I’d like to ask the balance team: what has the actual usage rate of the grenade launcher been since the nerf?

And what are your plans for adjusting or revisiting this weapon in the future?

Seems like I need to use it now just to screw up the statistics XD

I wonder if they ever actually conducted any research into player pick rates to begin with or was that “research” simply a pretext to justify the nerf?

They do have stats on how often it is picked per match if that what you were asking.

​Oh, really? Then why is it that the regular Bolt Pistol gets no buffs at all, even though its pick rate is at rock bottom? 

I guess I shouldn’t say something like... “Do they only want to nerf weapons with high usage rates?” :p

Then the pick rate is not as low as you think it is. Simple as that.
