But a single MG with zero micro or input should be able to stop shocks since they have no sprint and their smoke nade has no range? They should've never had shared grenade/smoke cooldown, thats goes against their whole design as breakthrough troops
Also Panzergrens can have sprint and bundle nade that do not share cooldowns and camo on top of that, any reason why Shocks should not be able to smoke and nade compared to that?
Yeah when the pgren sprint camo meta comes around you tell me. MGs are intended to counter advancing troops, their drawback is setup time and limited firing arc. Both grenades off CD just says you're incapable of smoke and flank and instead just want to run headfirst into an MG, smoke it and then attempt to wipe it for the expense of 2 button clicks.
