‘A good start’: CS2 players find CT incendiary nade changes a step in the right direction

CS2 received a major gameplay update on May 23, primarily the economy, and the changes are already creating a divide in the community. However, one fundamental change—the CT-side incendiary grenade nerf—is being praised by many as a “good start” and a step in the right direction.

Discussions in a Reddit thread posted today on May 26 have been quite divisive, put positive feedback seems to be winning out, chiefly due to how powerful CT incendiaries were on select maps and chokepoints such as the Inferno Banana. The thread’s creator claims that the nerfs have gutted CT’s defense due to reduced fire spread and damage. Others said the change was much-needed and that incendiaries now function similarly to how they did in CS:GO.
