It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly biased and unreasonable people in the COH2 community can be.
34 votes (atm) is a pretty small sample size to draw any conclusions about the community.
If anything its probably a reaction to the title of the thread, which IMO is the worst possible choice for an ass gren change. Snares are already borderline too common, and they are a cqc assault squad. Shocks, commandos, tommy paras all don't get snares.
Now they are much better at their job, but they also cost more and come later. I think ass grens problem is they are balanced around being a cp0 assault squad, and they were OP as hell for a time pre-WFA. I think they should be moved back a cp or two, and be buffed to a closer level to the other cqb squads.
