I rarely use the short grenade throw, perhaps 1 time out of 10. I almost always go for the select grenade + mouse2 combo to select long throw, and switch back to short only if the situation demands it. On 11th of December, there were a bunch of new players from action q2, who found this situation strange, and they were often getting fragged from afar. I suspect it takes a bit to get used to. It is possible to bind the auto-select of long throw, but if the long throw is superior anyway, it could make sense to just make it the default option upon selecting grenades.

It is of course a matter of debate.
