Since when have Nova Bombs so much blast radius?

He killed me while my Dash with the Nova Bomb and the Vortex explode outside of the Door... I don't think this is and should be normal... What think you, Community? Was this normal or unlogical? Write it in the Comments! [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ1HEzn7lYU[/url]

  • It's probably a combination of latency and the april update buff to nova bomb damage. the damage buff would increase the distance of the kill radius a noteable but. But the latency, on your screen you might have been just out of range, but on his you might have been just inside of the blast. Same logic that sometimes people seem to kill you through a corner, it's not that they actually killed you from a corner. Data doesn't travel around the world instantly, I have a second PS4 at home and I can visibly see the latency, I'd say a bit under a half second despite the two consoles being physically in the same room. Many BS deaths are a result of latency.

  • I don't see and issue here. He hit you with a direct nova bomb.

  • Kind like it has an area of effect, and splash damage from the initial explosion. Add in Lance, and the perk that give Nova bomb some tracking (forgot the name) and it can be pretty effective around tight corners.

    • You know it has a bit of an area of effect that's a OHK other than the actual nova bomb

      • If a warlock runs lance it goes further and faster with more damage.. I run lance but not sure how many others do the same. If you haven't already, go try it out

        • Lol wrecked. I save my nova for exactly this purpose.
