I stopped using slova bomb awhile back when I had realized it apparently only takes two shots to kill it. Match after match I'd toss one out and watch this happen, so I switched to regular Nova Bomb. I wouldn't mind what you mentioned. When you hit, its good, but it basically has to be directly on their head. There really is no reach for that thing with the vortex, and it is too easy to escape for a super. It needs some attention.
