yes, that is it's intended purpose . . . It is actually a very strong support ability. and I agree, the smoke needs a change. however, they should have it where you can't toss a smoke then nade faster than you can throw two nades to avoid the wombo-combo, because that is some OP shit. and you can jump out of a suppressor grenade, you just have to jump out quickly enough. and lets take a look at the suppression between the nade and the arrow: arrow, suppresses everything, weakens the enemies, forces them to look down while you wipe them out. grenade: suppresses: jump abilities melee grenade golden gun novabomb sunsinger stormtrance sunbreaker so 6 out of 12 supers? compared to 12 out of 12 supers plus a little extra. I recommend you stop using the super as a direct form of damage. start running blood-bound or blackhole, find a group of three enemies, and set up shot. take them down without trouble, and boom, you have an area under lockdown for a while. when it goes away, move to your next are with your smoke and nades.

I always ran black hole - you know support! The story every Nighstalker will tell you is about 4 opponents tethered and you dead because of teamshot.
