Yeah, what Morna said. If you're midfield with little to no speed and need a good boost, grenade jump. But in the regular situations where you're at a higher speed, I would rocket jump.

First gren and imediately after that rocket. Might depend what your ping is so you kinda need to test it out which delay works for you the best.
edit: Also it depends where you are moving. If you're going slightly upwards then you need to aim directly away from the movement and incase of this it's straight back and slightly downwards. I hope this explains it.

Yes and unfortunately you can't do anything about it!

Hand Grenade Jump is worth it, atleast in some situations. High up in air without vertical movement? Grenade Jump to the rescue!
It also makes chasing whole lot easier, OD and GJ have near identical health loss & speed gain values so you'll catch up pretty quick even if you got left behind early on.

except be good at D, since llamas are quite easy to stop
llamas are hardly a problem in anything but PUBs, so, nothing to worry about Wimp.
but on to topic:
I feel like you get a better boost from a stand still if you combo rather than just aim behind and rocketjump. It can be quite useful if you're midfield and see that you can stop a capper from there rather than respawning.
Of course, whether or not anything is worth it all depends on the situation. Are RJs worth it? Are MAs worth it? Is running a long elaborate route worth it? Is passing the flag worth it?...

Considering you get a significantly larger boost from a combo than a RJ, it should give you a better boost from standstill.except be good at D, since llamas are quite easy to stop

ahh... cool. Yeah, thought it felt like that, but, i never bothered to stop and actually compareConsidering you get a significantly larger boost from a combo than a RJ, it should give you a better boost from standstill.
Yeah more like greater than 50% and under 10 seconds to get back to their base.
Oh the whole everyone can do it so it's balanced and public games are just bad argument. I watch the best cappers get HUGELY better, the llamas get worse and maps are slightly worse. Zenith was always a pain to catch cappers that didnt overdrive and now they can change their direction after a grab and head right back to their base with crazy stupid angles and speed. Frost is now a huge llama fest like moonshine and nivosis used to be with heavy capping and moonshine aqnd niv are even worse than before. So congrats on defending something when you are in the honeymoon phase. And dont try the whole blah blah blah dont play public only play pickup games, cuz that is a dumb response.

I'd suggest you to think over how you play currently and try to adapt to the changes that are made to the game. That's actually a good advice since lots of new stuff are coming and people really need to adapt to it if they wanna get better at what they are doing.
D got a really big puff right there after grens came out and if you have missed that then I can't help you much.
