Do people get killed by grenades? I'm pretty awful at PVP (really awful), but I don't think I've ever got more than one or two grenade kills, and while I'm sure I must have been killed by grenades before, I can't think of a single time it's happened off the top of my head.
I mostly use and see grenades used as suppression tools or thrown in desperation. They often do damage, but they rarely kill. At least in my experience. Obviously it may not be the same for you, but I'm kind of surprised to hear that you think it's such a big deal.
Also, the options you present in your poll are offputting enough that you made me not want to answer it.

Grenades don't need to get the kill. Throw a lightning, arcbolt, or firebolt grenade into a room and then one shot the 3 people that got tagged by it before they can react. It's really easy to tag people without even seeing them.

Tripmines are fine. Arcbolt, firebolt, lightning grenades and axion bolt are for bad kids.

Well-thrown tripmines can do some damage in control. I respect players who have skilled throwing hands.
