Molotov Cocktail Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between A and S tier, apply one nerf to one aspect of it so it's not completely dominant on the battlefield.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Flame Duration

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Flame duration shortened from 10 to 8 seconds.

   Current issue

   Molotovs can deny an area for an extended period and force players out of cover.

   Reason

   Reducing the duration keeps the Molotov useful for area denial without allowing it to control an area for too long.
