"I don't see the value in speed Nova."

"I usually play alone or with randoms."

The latter explains the former. But now people have explained it to you, right? Speed Nova is for a certain setting, and in that setting she is one of the most powerful tools in the game. Add a Limbo bubble and the survivability issue is void unless you go outside the bubble, which you only need to do if enemies don't come fast enough. Add something like a Saryn to make sure everything dies. Add Nekros or maybe Khora for more loot.

Now you see the value of speed Nova. It's just not for your playstyle.

That being said, groups like this are formed in the recruitment channel all the time between randoms. If there's ever a farm that's getting you down because it's just taking so damn long, maybe it's worth a try?

I mean.. all of your abilities are actually still useful at negative power strength. Null Star does less damage, but still provides protection. Antimatter Drop still absorbs shots and uses that damage in the explosion, only the base damage changes. Worm Hole doesn't care either way, and Molecular Prime becomes a way to speed up mission progress to an extreme degree, rather than a defensive tool.

All it requires is that you know your team will cover the defensive tools you need, then the only thing of real value you lose is the satisfaction of primed chain explosions.
