I've been seeing a lot of people bitching about Nova's nerf recently and let me once and for all reassure you its not at all a nerf, but a complete buff of her skill. for two primary reasons:

Firstly is how it works. instead of it being instant it affects enemies in a growing radius. Sure its slightly slower but think about it, if the radius is growing out while enemies are running in then ultimately more enemies are being primed as nothing is just outside the radius.

Secondly get rid of strength mods and focus primarily on range and duration. While range affects how big the explosion radius is (while duration affects how big the priming range is) strength affects how slow an enemy becomes. using overextended not only essentially increases damage because of explosion and AoE range increases but the -60% strength makes enemies faster. How is this good I hear you cry? Put it together with a Vaubans Vortex and you've got yourself quite a combo.
