So we all know our lovely russian womans martyrdom skill, it allows us to give the enemy the finger if they try to finish us off at too close of a range.
Why does it always 1 hit though? I fail to see why a suicide grenade is going to do more than a grenade shell launched directly at your face or an airstrike hitting you and so on.
It should really only be killing you if you have low hp, otherwise the other explosives need a serious buff to compete with the damage it has.
According to the character fluff she’s blowing up her reserve ammo, so you can consider this to be several grenades worth of damage.
Also, from her voiceover lines she’s definitely German, not Russian 
It’s such a satisfying kill! I think most players are so wise to it at this point you’re lucky if you can get someone with it.
I have worked out that killing with an instant longjump in any direction away from her really helps with damage limitation. I very rarely die to it now.
The only time I do die to it is, I do not kill her and I am casually walking around and then BOOM!
I would prefer a slightly longer fuse time (0.1s would even be enough for me)
Well I get a lot of martyrdom kills. And timing is everything, kill me in close quarters and you are toast! Try to knife gib me you are toast! And never run past me unless you can pass me with a 2 meter radius safety zone or you might be toast.
Some rounds half my kills are martyrdom kills, noobs and veterans, both get it if they kill you in close quarters. The only way to avoid it stay at least 2 meters minimum distance when you kill me. My finger is always on the button! I have it tied to a button just to the left of my left mouse button, I am always ready to go BOOM!
