Molotov is so expensive

[DustIIDust&Ashes2Ashes]

CT requires $600 to buy the Molotov, and $400 in T side.
why Smoke is $300 only? I think Smoke is more important than Molotov to the both sides.

yes i agree

I can provide the differences between both from the weapon scripts:

WeaponArmorRatio

Molotov: 1.8

Incgrenade: 1.475

This means that the Molotov does 90% of its normal damage against armored opponents, and the Incendiary does 73.75% of its normal damage against armored opponents. Both do the same damage against unarmored seeing as their Damage value is the same (40).

Weapon Price

Molotov: 400

Incgrenade: 600

This is a given. Everyone sees this information in the buy menu.

FlinchVelocityModifierLarge and FlinchVelocityModifierSmall

Molotov: 1.0 and 1.0

Incgrenade: 0.70 and 0.80

This means that no matter what, whenever someone is damaged by a Molotov, they will not be slowed down and can move at the MaxPlayerSpeed of the weapon they are holding. When someone is damaged by an Incendiary though, they will be slowed down to 70% of their normal speed if the damage is applied to their arms, stomach, chest, or head or 80% if the damage is applied to the legs. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the damage would always be applied to the chest in this case due to the fact that armor can't be applied to legs and it is obvious that WeaponArmorRatio is taking effect.

Incendiary slows opponents, Molotov does not, so even though the molly does more damage, the slowing effect can be very beneficial.

The HE grenade($300) also is able to slow down the enemey

Okay, but only for a moment, the incendiary is extended.

[DustIIDust&Ashes2Ashes]

in the most of situation, CT buy Incendiary grenade is only counter for Rush at round beginning.

Not even sure what you're arguing bud, I don't really care either way, I just gave you the facts, do with it what you will, I'm not here to discuss the matter.

[DustIIDust&Ashes2Ashes]

I think Incendiary grenade should be $200, and we are able to carry up to 2 Incendiary grenades , just like flash grenade

op is a dumbass

[DinoRex]

No it does not. That was years ago, now molotov and incendiary grenades are identical. Sloth squadron analyzed these years ago

pretty sure incediary bounces more than molotov although may be my own bias when using iether

[Ray Benchmark]

Ak is also cheaper than m4. Reason is balance. Defending is easier and buys have more value as a CT.

This is a ridiclious suggestion and shows that you have no experience in competitive CS. CT sides on most maps are already won more often than T side and you actually want to ruin it completely.

I think they're already working on the game economy they did a poll on twitter.
