Hmm i feel like throwing is going through a hard period lately. But ultimately, I think it is balanced, people got used to the early 30 (boring) seconds when all shit gets tossed out, and then the real melee starts. Although I think the amount of throws you got should be nerfed, make max ammo decrease by 1 for example. Let's not forget too that it's essentially 2handers that complain, because they don't want to spend shield points or even carry one. I'm myself a 2hander, and I adapted to the general throwing rage going on lately and bought a shield, no problems anymore, it might break once you reach the melee, but who cares, you didn't get hit early on.
