Longer delay between throwing and detonation will turn them from an offensive weapon into a defensive tactical tool. Remotes should be for setting traps and taking out enemies at choke points, not something you use as a means to kill someone in a head on encounter.
+1. I tried tossing remotes with my Alt and I felt like such a loser for such a S***** tactic. It works especially on stairs they glide all the way to the bottom and as a heavy on my main, nothing pisses me off more than some S*** scout skipping remotes at you as you try and escape. I am a heavy I cant run fast and this puts me at a huge disadvantage.

Logis can throw out RE's, why assualts can as well, even commandos, why focus on scout? because only scouts with how high they can jump and how fast they move can toss them as far as they do. oh and no to the tanker crybabies in my thread jlavs are still not a problem tossing remotes 10 meters is the problem. But tossing remotes 10 meters is an "innovative tactic"! It's your fault you didn't kill the scout soon enough! I agree tossing remotes is an innovative tactic, one I use... I disagree with its lack of counter balance. just tossing them in itself are fine but coupled with a scout who is fast, invisible, and can dodge a sqd firing at him at close range while jumping is unbalanced. it's the most powerful weapon in the game, next to an orbital, it should also have some serious drawbacks... the Frisbee mechanic neutralizes one of the most important drawbacks, its range. Sounds very much similar to a JLAV. I said in a previous post how infantry have double standards. You defend the use of JLAVs (because they kill vehicles unfairly, not infantry), while trying to remove frisbee remotes (because they kill infantry unfairly). In fact I see no difference between frisbee remotes and JLAVs. If someone can't kill a vehicle with conventional AV, they just use a JLAV to blow it up. Likewise, if someone can't kill some heavies with logi support holed up in a room, they use frisbee remotes to blow them all up.
I only use JLAV as a last resort. When your team is not doing anything I do not see the logical point as to wasting a 200K AV suit to take out a militia tank.
