Always overthrowing your grenades?

For all things AoS!

Often times I use frags when I'm above the enemy (I.E. on a cliff over 4 or so hostiles), or to clear a room where an enemy might be hiding in. If you nail it right, they won't have time to escape the blast area.

Grenades are actually pretty precious if you use them the right way. In fact, you can kill someone with a nade at a farther range than you can kill someone with a shotty.

*Snazzy music*
How to use a grenade correctly :
There is three main uses for the grenades, killing, destroying enemy cover, and psychological warfare to scare your enemy out of that shelter to the empty ground. So you can blow the mofos head off...

1a: If the enemy is right at the wall, about the start digging, or just wall popping, its a good idea not time the grenade, and throw it from about 10-20 blocks back, and all three of them you'll get 1-5 kills depending on how close they are grouped and how many.
1b: Close quarter grenades can be deadly to yourself, but also to the enemy, best to time your grenades to 2 seconds and throw it, or if you just want to be crazy, run up to them holding then grenade, and kill them in the afterlife.
1c: Further away, well, you really shouldn't use grenades from this range, unless you know you can throw it over the object in your way, don't time, you'll need it all to get it over a certain distance.

2: Destroying, well, I don't really have to explain this, just break the cover, they will be exposed, and either the grenade will kill them or your team mate will shoot their heads off.

3: Intimidation/psychological warfare, for this, really, just throw it close enough to them to make them scared/damage them a little, maybe break a few things, and make them fall back or push forward, simple as that.

That is all I know about grenades :P

I'll add to IronShotGun's breaching list here.
1d. Throwing high up in the air can not only take out people in towers, but its fall can also instant kill people on the other side of the wall you're on. This way, you can go straight up to a high wall and nade the snipers behind it. Just make sure you get the curve right, or you'll be blowing yourself up.
1e. A commonly used breaching method is to use the nade as a type of C4. Simply dig a block into the wall you're breaching, throw the nade in, and stand to the side a few blocks. The nade should take out a 3x3 rectangle in the wall.
4. If you are an nade expert, then you might want to consider nading people in the water, As long as the nade stay in the air, it will explode with full damage.
I find it sad that even our best players are still complete deuces when it comes to grenades.

=Me, although I'm not one of "Our best players"
I think I've killed myself more times than I've killed other people. But yeah, I use the C4 method a bit, and aren't too bad at arc-ing the grenade. Its just that I never have the luck to kill people. :(

If you're not lagging, then that's where these babies have most effect. I seem to do better when I have less ping (who doesn't). Anyway, if you get the grenade 1-4 blocks away from them, chances are you're going to kill them.
