Personally i play HotS because i like the gameplay, nova spoils that for me.

you just get shat on instantly from nowhere and cant do a single thing about it because you are dead. I guess, consider the amount of gameplay her victims get before nova kills them. watching the death screen isnt fun, and thats what nova does, she makes the game not fun! It doesnt matter that after she kills you she cant take camps or push lanes or contribute to winning, because all you see is the death screen. She just isnt fun to play against, even after she exposes herself, because of her range she will be distant enough to not worry about a counter attack, throw up 50 path blocking skillshot soaking identical decoys and slow you if you get close enough anyway, and you only have 6 seconds to retaliate which could be a mistake because if she hit her spells you are half HP and risk getting one shot with her next salvo, giving you a very small and risky time frame to kill her, while she can choose to chase and kill you if you try to escape.

Its not a matter of balance, shes balanced by being shit at doing anything meaningful in the game like waveclear or taking camps or objectives or arguably team fights, so she gets a free pass to be as toxic as possible. This leads to an unfun gameplay environment where instead of taking risks you always have to play like a paranoid schizophrenic, assuming the enemy is everywhere at once. it creates a gameplay environment where you cant take risks because an invisible nova might be anywhere. Its not just one of these things alone its the fact that they are all together. this paired with her ridiculous range leads to getting sniped while you should be safe with out her putting herself at risk.Ġ Risk - Nova rarely has to put herself at risk as she has incredibly long range and is nearly impossible to attack while she is mounted and stealthed. There are no safe spots to hide from her because nothing destealths her other than player activity or if she decides. Map Presence - And because she is stealthed, she can go anywhere on the map she fucking well pleases, even inside your base.

Basically, her abilities are FAR too strong for how easy they are to use, to dodge them you must anticipate where she is (hard because she has stealth) and have jedi like reflexes. Her abilities arent hard to land like nazeebos for instance. Low Skill Requirement - Because of stealth, range and speed of her skillshot, and the size/range of orbital strike or range and targeted nature of her tripple tap, she is almost always granted 100% damage application unless she is really bad.

This passive basically means that you always get to react first as the enemy cant attack you untill they land a skillshot on you, which is hard because you are difficult to see and you are on a fucking horse that makes you run super fast! the fact is, if you ever get hit while stealthed and mounted, you are a bad player, because you have EVERYTHING going in your favor to avoid getting hit! Stealth - Stealth wouldnt be so bad if they couldnt use it while mounted, but whenever you face a nova, you better pray that you have a damn easy to land skillshot. Insane Burst - She has just ridiculous burst! like dropping a tank to half HP levels of stupid burst, Its not hard to land either like some champs and its 0 risk because she has Insane range and whats more, she gets a free shot to use it every single time because she has: This is bad enough, sure there are tricks to figure what one it is, but generally its just too late because: This might not seem like much but shes a high priority target that most of the time you have to refuse to target because its a decoy. half the time you catch a nova out of stealth its a fucking decoy, i have no idea why it stealths. it doesnt help that it does everything nova does, as in it casts every one of her abilities. Utterly confusing - her holo decoy doesnt take skill, its just something that muddles the game up. Insane range - 1 global, 1 near global and a snipe that hits from a screen away Lets list some reasons she feels horrible: Shes horrible to play against, i have never felt that a nova has deserved a kill against me.
