I don't think you read the patch notes clearly [quote]Grenades The Tripmine Grenade has been a dominant grenade choice for a while. It’s possible that this because it was the grenade that did everything: set a trap, stick it to an opponent, miss an opponent and end up setting a trap anyway. The original intent with this grenade was to be used as a trap, not a sticky, so we moved it back in that direction. Conversely, we increased the Swarm Grenades damage and ability to detect opponents to improve that option. Changes: Swarm Grenade: increased arming radius by 0.5 meters Swarm Grenade: detonation damage increased by 7% Tripmine no longer attaches to enemies; instead arms on impact then bounces Tripmine damage reduced by 3% [/quote] Originally supposed to be a trap, not a sticky. They went sticky and now want to revert back to trap. So yes, original idea for the grenade was a trap. Then it became a sticky and they implemented that in game. But now they want to revert back their original idea.
