Arc Star Nerf
Not the damage nor the explosion radius, but simply how the grenade works. Being farther away from the center of the Arc Star should proportionally stun you for less and less, with the full stun time...

@MoNosDirtyGaming I think not. Not entirely fair to walk into the edge of the 10m radius at the last second and get fully stunned as if I sat dead center of the grenade.
@pastaclownI do see your point, but if the change was implemented then the ark star would instantly become unappreciated unless you stuck someone with it. It would not become an explosive to escape the full radius of, but instead an explosive to escape half the distance of. People would also ask for it to be buffed. You know what they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
@MoNosDirtyGaming on the contrary I believe even with the change arc stars will see no drop-off in usage. I've yet to see a single person tank any grenade of any sort at any distance simply because it looked like they were far enough away from it. However I do believe if said change were to occur the developers would no doubt take your point into account and most likely increase the full stun effective range to at least a 7 meter radius.
- @pastaclown I personally prefer to use thermites over grenades or arc stars but I do agree the further away you are the less damage you should recieve or atleast you shouldn’t be stunned as badly
Well aren't arc stars the children of Gravity Stars in Titanfall? Those basically created a gravity bubble that was equal in its strength not radiating from the center to the rim. So an arc star is basically the same thing: it deploys an equal strength field for its full radius, it's not blowing shrapnel at the player where the particles would disperse.
And I only pick up thermite grenades too. They are vicious!
