So I like the flashbang grenade, but I always have felt like this grenade was overshadowed by the lightning grenade simply for these reasons: The flashbang is a bouncing grenade that cant kill with a small blast radius but it blinds The flash bang has much too long of a timer for detonating and the effect of being blinded doesn't last long enough to go in there and kill who's blinded, unless of course they were chasing you then you could time it right and finish the person off, but as it currently stands its probably one of the most unused grenades in the game simply because, and I hate to say this, but even pulses are better. My solution to these problems: Option 1: Make it a grenade like pulse where if it hits anything it activates, but reduce the damage of it to keep it from being too powerful, make it do like 105 damage on direct hit. Slightly increase the damage it does on the overall blast radius but leave the blinding effects timer the same and the overall blast radius the same. Option 2: the grenades power is increased to allow a one-shot if directly at the feet but keep everything the same. Option 3: "Stop trying to make striker more op then it already is" quote from people who seek [i]balance[/i]
