The slow grenade was overpowered when it first came out. It completely prevented concing scouts/medics from getting a flag, or from zooming through any given "chokepoint" (which could be a large hallway since the radius was so big). The nerf made it less powerful. Honestly, it's more of a problem of duration at this point than usefulness. Slowing down for 1 or 2 seconds easily means the difference between life and death.
