What's your opinion on the Ink Grenade?

[Relaxation]

Poll added up soon.

[W9496]

It's off-balanced right now. The stun is too strong.

I wish they had the range of the Gears 2 inks, but massively increased damage to compensate for the lack of stun. They would become an area of effect weapon again, and not be so cheap.

[jmfchuckie]

NO STUN I TELL YOU!!!! I TAKE IT NO MORE!:made:

[CeJay iZ SicK]

Put back the Gears 2 ink and it'll be fine for me.

It is tactical... it stuns people.

If you can't dodge this big green thing that was thrown from someone's hand then you have problems.

Yeah, I'm sure you never get stunned with them.....

[Supreme Beast78]

incredibly cheap

[GTRandy]

I don't like as I find it is used against me a lot. Either shorten the stun or remove the stun as you can really do nothing at all when its used on you. I find when I use it short range, I tend to stun myself almost 75-80% of the time.

[BOSSxWorm]

Tactical when i get a kill with it...cheap when i get stunned and killed by it :P

[STEVE IRBAN 627]

It sucks. Really, it does.

[I Love U Jesus]

It's terrible.

[Zarp021]

There are already several threads regarding this subject, I suggest using the search tool as a future reference. :)

[MrSpeedyTurtle]

There are often at least 2 of them on a map so i don't mind

[NP473L]

It sucks. Really, it does.

I didn't love Submission, but I did enjoy it (especially those looooong games).

Inks always stun me, but I never really find potency with it myself...same with meatshields.

[Zellzin]

It just needs to be tuned. Its kinda annoying when I throw one and it stuns me and the enemy can just roll through it and easily kill me

[Andrewsafb71]

It should inflict AOE damage and that's it, people have dubbed it the new "2-piece" it's so cheap.

[iLuke]

Just shorten the stun time to a point where it's fair, although it's pretty easy to jump when you see it though.

[Shocking]

bring back GOW2 ink.

I loved those long games. That's what made it so fun to me.

[HanSolo2187]

I don't think anyone would have much of a problem with the inks if they were consistent where/when/how long they stun and inflict damage. The problem is - the lag and consistency of the game causes far too much variation on all of these elements. Epic needs to recognize this and eliminate elements of the ink (as well as other aspects of the game) that become inconsistent due to the effects of lag.

I've had inks stun me when I am around a corner from them.
I've been downed and killed by one that I hit an enemy with who was 2-feet in front of me - and he wasn't stunned and simply turned and ran away!
The list goes on and on.

[KillxThexClientx]

i hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!! but really, the stun radius is way to big, they can throw one way behind me and i just stand still waiting to be killed holding my face from nothing lol if its behind me i really shouldnt be holding my face. lol if they made the stun really small so it can stun like 3 people stood toe to toe, then thats ok but not when im like miles away. i really hated them at first cuz everyone was killing me with them but now i just try to get one before any one els and get the cheap kills myself lol

or do this! i loved them in gears 2 but i thought they were abit weak. big in area, massive damage and no stun would be great! since iv always hated stuns, in gears 2 thr smoke stun thing sucked ass and i still think the smoke stun in gears 3 sucks but at least you can move and it kinda makes sence if it went of in your face, but ink stuns? if someone threw that at me i wouldnt hold my face id run like hell!

[KillxThexClientx]

Just shorten the stun time to a point where it's fair, although it's pretty easy to jump when you see it though.
but sometimes its mad, i will run at the guy throwing it as he throws it behind me at someone els and i still get stunned, even tho im in his face, he isnt stunned and i give him a free kill even tho the ink is miles away from me :(

[Thicketford]

In Gears 2 they were very useful for area denial and pushing power weapons. In Gears 3, they're mostly used against a single person for an easy kill. I prefer the Gears 2 version.

[Richtophen]

Hate them and they completely ruined Gridlock for me. Remove the damn stuns. If Epic feels that they would be too weak, they could up the damage and make the cloud a lot bigger.

[DeRobertC]

The need to reduce the stun's duration.

[JoZ530]

I think that there great to get people out of there hiding spots but should be used rarely.

[xTZAx]

The stun isn't so bad. If you time your roll right it doesn't affect you.

"Cheap" kill? A kill is a kill.

[aweZm]

Terribly designed weapon. Follows the classic credo of the Gears of War developers: If it ain't broke, make sure to break it!

[Mr McScreechy]

Nothing wrong with it leave it as it is.

[Limelights]

I wouldn't call it a cheap kill but it's too easy to kill with. Most ink kills are by catching people off guard when they aren't looking at you or by throwing it at people who don't know enough to just roll.

I voted cheap kill just for the fact that it isn't tactical, whatsoever. The old ink was tactical, a cloud and that's it. You had to know where to put it for it to be effective.

[LEGI0N47]

I think it depends. I find it tactical when you use it to assist your team on a push on some campers, it's a good move a lot of times. But one on one it seems kinda cheap. I'd prefeer the old ink.

[ProVolt]

Its tactical deal with it if u suck with it learn to get better or dont and just complain Its not gonna be changed

[LJ WITNESS LJ]

Should be: NO stun, and that's that.

[xbrut4lxint3ntx]

they need to fix the stun radius on it the other day this guy litterally through a stun like 30 feet to my left and it still stunned me idk if it was lag or just how bad the ****in stun on the ink is but it was retarded

[makavillin]

Put back the Gears 2 ink and it'll be fine for me
^^^^exactly what i been saying from the start

[TooDumTooLive]

My friend and I were actually discussing this the other day. We came to the conclusion that the stun wouldn't be so bad if it had to bounce once before activating (Gears 2 and 3 inks combined basically)

[bjo510]

My opinion - both, cheap kill & tactical.

Tactical when used in the right situation, against a team.

Cheap kill when used to gain the advantage in a 1v1 environment.

My say on the whole Ink Grenade topic is; increase the damage radius to accomodate the stun, or decrease the stun to accomodate the the damage radius. I think another good idea would be to scrap it as a whole, and start from the ground up with a new damage & stun radius that are equivilant to one another. I think it makes absolutely no sense why it stuns you, when you aren't taking damage. I would be more accepting of it if I was taking small ammounts of damage while stunned for the same duration. That's just me and my o.c.d I guess. :(

[ZoMgRoCk]

I would be fine with stun if they decreases the stun range to something similar to the incendiary's range: Hit the the opposing player, or at their feet. Or, make it like the smokes "stun", player cringes but can walk around, possibly slow movement

[ZoMgRoCk]

^^^^ makes sense

[DanTheGamer11]

I don't think I used one online.. why don't the gears hold their breath XD

[Rtma]

I think it's Ink cloud needs to be more consistent, I've been killed because the damn thing exploded into a small cloud that would of otherwise saved me.

[zDespisedZ]

The stun seems kinda buggy to me sometimes, might just be lag but sometimes I throw it near the person who is rushing me and it stuns me and not him, happened on mercy where te mortar/oneshot spawns some guy was walking up the stairs chucked it at him he didn't roll or anything ended up behind him stunned me and not him, Also a bit confused sometimes when someone throws one at me and I roll out of it it's like stuck to my character and I get downed when I'm outside of the aoe

[patriot715]

The Ink stuns people out of the damage radius. I think that is stupid.

[ImperialGuard39]

It's tactical, almost no one gets killed by it unless you're an idiot.

It's just good for the stun, and area denial.

[Chaos Flux]

I have no clue what's up with this thing. I get one thrown at me and I can't get away fast enough before I'm down. Then, later, I hit someone dead on with it while pelting them with HB and they run away like nothing happened. Honestly the most frustrating weapon in the game.

[L.Carmine]

sometimes it sucks

[DaRkNeSs]

It's not tactical at all. You throw it at them, you stun them and they die. You throw it inaccurately you still stun them. Gears 2 Ink was tactical, Gears 3 Ink is a pisstake...

[AKfoy0face]

the radius in which it stuns u is rediculous
